This is a list of battles fought by the 6th Sikh Guru, Guru Hargobind.




Background


Guru Arjan had advised his son, Hargobind, to become martially trained when he was a youth. Following Guru Arjan's exeution by Jahangir, the Mughal emperor, the Akal Sena came into being at the same time of the consecration of the Akal Bunga on the 15 June 1606. The Akal Sena became the army of the Sikhs and was headquartered in Amritsar. Guru Hargobind's army quickly grew in number and Sikhs began to call Guru Hargobind, "true king". A fort was created outside of Amritsar and Guru Hargobind had set up his own court in the Akal Takht. Guru Hargobind was eventually summoned to Delhi where he went hunting with Jahangir. Both of them grew close and went to Agra together. In 1609 he was imprisoned in Gawalior Fort by the emperor for reasons that are disputed. Guru Hargobind was eventually let go and had 52 Rajput Kings let go with him.: 8  Following his release Guru Hargobind maintained friendly relations with Jahangur while further strengthining the Akal Sena.
