Vadda Ghallughara - Misaldaars

At this time of year we remember the ‘Vadda Ghallughara’ or Great Holocaust of 1762, when Ahmed Shah sought to wipe Sikhs off the face of the earth.
He attacked a convoy of 50,000 Sikh men, women and children. ImageImageImageImage
Half of them were massacred in one day. 50 cartloads of severed Sikh heads were taken to be hung at the gates of Lahore.
Sri Darbar Sahib was destroyed and the sarovar filled with slaughtered cows and the sarovar steps smashed. ImageImageImage
In those days, the darkest of Sikh history, with the blessing of Guru Sahib and the Chardi Kala spirit of never being broken or defeated, the Misaldaars led and inspired the Khalsa to such an extent that they took on and destroyed the previously undefeated Afghans. ImageImageImage
