WHY HINDUS SHOULD FEEL SPECIALLY GRATEFUL TO SIKHS

We know from history that the ninth Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur gave up his life, to be killed by Emperor Aurangzeb, in order to protect Hindus against conversion/death.
The following email Forward, copy-pasted as such, contains details in accordance with historical facts.
QUOTE BEGINS
It was the year 1675 AD; Bharat was enduring indescribable miseries, trampled under foot of Islamic rulers.
It was during that period, that a delegation of about 500 Kashmir Brahmins led by Pundit Kripa Ram metGuru Tej Bahadur at Anandapur Saheb with their harrowing experiences and tales of torture by Aurangzeb forcing Hindus to convert to Islam.
The choice was “Convert-Or-Perish”
The choice was “Convert-Or-Perish”
Guru Tej Bahadur took upon himself the task of rescuing not just the Kashmir Brahmins but the entire Hindu society.
But why was Aurangzeb bent upon converting the Kashmir Pundits in the first place? Even this has a History.

Aurangzeb vexed with the enigma of thriving Hindu presence in Bharat, despite centuries of Muslim rule, vis-à-vis, the total annihilation of native cultures in other Muslim lands, called his Court to Order one day and beseeched them for a solution. His council of advisors then suggested that the Seat of Hindu thought and inspiration must be identified and destroyed; they conclusively opined that, this was the only sure way of ensuring that the perennial flow of faith is put to an end.
Having said this, Banaras (Kashi) was identified as the Seat of Hindu faith and the Brahmins of Banaras were identified as its custodians; they were pulled up and were, in the usual Muslim way of Torture, Cruelty, Torment, Rape etc., asked to convert.
Aurangzeb then repeated the same (Torture, Cruelty, Torment, Rape etc) on the Kashmir Brahmins i.e.Kashmiri Pundits as well.

Those were the days when the Sikhs were the army of the Hindus; and were approached by the Kashmir Brahmins.
The little boy Gobind Rai (later the legendary tenth and the last Guru of the Sikhs), the light of the Khalsa movement, the beacon who showed the world, what unquestioned obedience is, by way of the “panch-pyaara”, was at that time 9 years old, and was sitting beside his father, Guru Teg Bahadur – who, most gallantly took upon himself the responsibility of Protection of the Hindu faith, which at that time almost was in a limbo. Tegh Bahadur told the Kashmir Brahmins to go and tell Aurangzeb that:-
1. Kashmir Pundits would convert to Islam if Guru Teg Bahadur converts.
2. Thereafter the Brahmins of Banaras would convert and then
3. The entire Hindu faith would eventually convert to Islam

Delighted at such an easy solution of converting the entire Hindu people into Islam, Aurangzeb invited Guru Teg Bahadur Ji to Delhi. Guru Teg Bahadur along with his disciples Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Dyal Das and Bhai Sati Das, went to Delhi and met Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.The great Guru held extensive discussions on Religious, Philosophical, Spiritual, Logical, Scientific and even Mundane matters to dissuade Aurangzeb from converting Hindus to Islam.
But what did an Islamic dogmatist that Aurangzeb was, understand of the counsel of a great Guru?
Aurangzeb was deeply disappointed and disillusioned and seething with vengeance made two offers to Guru Teg Bahadur-
either embrace Islam or face beheading.

The great Guru preferred to get beheaded than to convert to Islam. Aurangzeb ordered that Guru Teg Bahadur and disciples should be killed.
Aurangzeb who was considered to be a fervent follower of the religion of peace (Islam) unveiled his brand of Islamic peace and benevolence on 11.11.1675 and made History.
The following is a portrayal of the pinnacle of Islamic Peace:-
Right in the presence of the great Guru, his disciples were done to death one after the other.
1. Bhai Mati Das while standing erect was tied between two posts. He was asked if he had any parting words, to which Mati Das answered, “I request only that my head be turned toward my Guru as I am executed.” Two executioners placed a double-handed saw on his head. Mati Das serenely uttered “Ek Onkar” and started reciting the Japji Sahib, the great morning prayer of the Sikhs. He was sawn across from head downwards.
2. Bhai Dyal Das abused the Emperor and his courtiers for this act. He was tied up like a round bundle and thrown into a huge cauldron of boiling oil. He was boiled alive in a block of charcoal.
3. Bhai Sati Das condemned these brutalities. He was wrapped round with cotton and burnt alive and then he was hacked to pieces limb by limb.
Then Guru Teg Bahadur was beheaded.
All this happened on 11th November, 1675 at the Chandni Chowk, Delhi, under the orders of Emperor Aurangzeb.
Now the question arises:-
1. Why should Guru Teg Bahadur become a martyr, when he had all chances to escape inhuman torture and death?
2. Why should Bhai Mati Das,Dyal Das and Sati Das die, when they too have had all chances to escape merciless torture and death?
3. For whom did they endure all the inhuman suffering and made all these sacrifices?

They suffered and sacrificed so that Hindus can live. How many Hindus of these days know all this? Let us know about it and pay our respects to them for the supreme sacrifice they made for the sake of Hindu dharma. Let every Hindu, henceforth include Sis Ganj Gurudwara (delhi) where the Guru was martyred, in their itinerary of pilgrimage. Without a visit to Sis Ganj Gurudwara our pilgrimage would be incomplete.Let’s not leave anything incomplete.
Note:-Aurangzeb’s progenies continued the tradition of burning and roasting Hindus alive. They kept up the holy tradition when they attacked Sabarmati Express train, near Godhra railway station (Gujarat) on 27th February 2002, and cruelly roasted 58 devout Hindu karsevaks alive, including 25 women and 15 children.Our anti-Hindu sovereigns still worship His highness Shahenshah-e-Aurangzeb-al-Alamgir by naming a very important road in Delhi.The road is named as Aurangzeb road.
