Sikhism was a Buddhist like religion in the beginning and restrained themselves from fighting — untill when Guru Arjan Dev ji martyred by Jehangir. His some Guru Hargobind then adopted the aggressive measures and led the Sikhs against Mughal power after Guru Arjan's execution.
He heroically resisted Islamic persecution of non-Muslims and fought four wars against Shah Jahan's armies. His attempts to transform the Sikh community brought him in conflict with the Mughal authority.
He advised the Sikhs to take part in military training and martial arts to kick mughal's ass. Establish the Miri piri concept and transformed his community as a warrior class.
He won every battle that he fought against except on:
Battle of Rohilla
Battle of Kartarpur
Battle of Amritsar (1634)
Battle of Lahira
Battle of Gurusar
Battle of Kiratpur
"Finally which Sikh fought Auragzeb"

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and Guru Gobind Ji's resistance against the Mughals were on of the main reasons behind the downfall of Mughals.
Tegh Bahadur ji resisted the forced conversions of the Hindu Kashmiri Pandits and non-Muslims to Islam, and was publicly beheaded in 1675 on the orders of Aurangzeb in Delhi for himself refusing to convert to Islam and saving Hindu Kashmiri Pandits and other non-Muslims.
"When powerful Muslims were no more these Sikhs carved some statelets and now boast of saving others."

Banda Bahadur established a temporary independent Sikh state in the Punjab, thanks to his military campaigns against the Mughals. You should get your facts checked.
Banda Bahadur came to Sonipat and assembled a force of armed Sikhs and led the struggle against the Mughal Empire which was already weakened by the military efforts of Guru Teg Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
After establishing his authority and Khalsa rule in Punjab, Banda Singh Bahadur abolished the zamindari system, and granted property rights to the tillers of the land. Banda Singh was captured by the Mughals and tortured to death in 1715-1716.
