The Battle of Sarsa was fought in 21 December 1704 between the Khalsa and the Mughal Empire.




Background and battle


Guru Gobind Singh's family got separated and Mani Singh, along with other Sikhs, took Mata Sundar Kaur and Mata Sahib Kaur to Delhi, whereas Guru Gobind Singh, the Panj Piare, Ajit Singh, Jujhar Singh and a handful of Sikh warriors went to Chamkaur for the last stand.
Even as Mughal General Wazir Khan promised Guru Gobind Singh safe passage after the siege of Anandpur, he still pursued the survivors. At Shahi Tibbi, Jiwan Singh was killed and the Sikhs were destroyed while crossing the Sarsa River, with Guru Gobind Singh's two younger sons, Zorawar Singh and Fateh Singh being captured and later extrajudicially executed. Gobind was defeated the next day at Chamkaur.
