Guru Gobind Singhji played ZERO role in fight against Mughals. It is Marathas who broke the back and eventually the Mughal empire.
Guru Gobind singhji deserves respect for many things foremost being guru bringing ideological clarity and purity of thought
The Marathas resistance was so fearsome and relentless that it forced Aurangzeb to stay in Deccan for almost 28 years and he eventually died there. Militarily Guru Gobind Singhji was dealing with subservient Rajput Hill kings who called upon the sovereign Mughal governor to help
Both the battles of Chamkaur were mostly against a small contingent of local governor who came to the aid of Hill kings to fulfil obligation.
Over 95% of Mughal army was in Deccan including the emperor Aurangzeb fighting Marathas.
Post the loss of young sons, Gobind singhji wrote a letter to emperor Aurangzeb and made peace.. got a Jagir in Nanded in fact accompanied bahadur Shah on campaign
Marathas saved india the foundation of which was laid by a scion of Sisodia lineage - Chatrapati Shivaji. Same family as Maharana Hamir, Kumbha and Pratap.
Maratha fight back started much earlier in 1650’s but took its own life in 1674 with coronation of Chatrapati. Guru Govind singh was born in 1666. He didn’t visit Punjab till 1670 and became Guru in 1676 post Guru Tegh Bahadur ji killing upon Aurangzeb’s order in 1675
So what could have Guru Govind singhji contributed as a 8 year old boy to Chatrapati Shivaji upon his coronation in 1674 amidst bitter wars and opposition, after fighting for almost 20years against Mughals ?

Of course Lokmanya was wrong on this aspect.
We would have convinced him if he would have been alive and he would have agreed.
We have disagreed with Ishwara and bent the will- Savitri did that for her husband. Your situation reminds me of a shloka

दर्ब्या विधार्त्तुम इव यानि यगत विधात्रिम
Like a baby , with our two tiny hands , we are trying to get hold of the mother of universe who herself holds the entire cosmos. Man can only understand that much of truth which is reflected in his intellect. It is useless to harbour an ambition that we will know Ishwara…

@Javedakhtarjadu Are you denying that he wrote the poem “Agli eid Pakistan main ..”? When did I say anything about Bangladesh? Why are you diverting?
@Javedakhtarjadu Here is the poem... 1944 Poem 'Agli Eid Pakistan main' - 1944
@Javedakhtarjadu Gyan na palen…We understand that you are not answerable for anything your great grandfather or your father in law did but don’t assume us to be fools.
All communists/Jihadists wanted Pakistan including Kaifi, Sahir, Qurratulain Hyder, Manto.. Mazrooh, all were proponents of Pak.

What the masterstroke brains of @narendramodi or @AmitShah can't figure out beyond politics is that this Punjab incident almost gives out a message that Union govt of India is losing control on territory.
Central govt has no writ on Bengal & now Punjab. Power of future?
If this is not responded to then India will become a subject of jokes. No nation can stake a claim to hegemony if it has no control of and within its boundaries.
Current leadership has harmed Indian standing with no response to Bengal violence and now sitting duck on flyover
Chief minister of a state doesn't come on phone while the security team of PM is trying to get him. Forget that the state police chief doesn't have answers.
Sarkar ka iqbal bulund hona chahiye..PM office is so powerful that it can make a CM piss in pants but can NaMo do it?

This is one of those days when my contempt for cowardice knows no bounds. Show of weakness invited this..when workers were murdered nothing was done, MP/MLA beaten- Saheb was giving gyan,now highest office almost survived a potential life threat.. @BJP4India @HMOIndia is tweeting
This cowardice and inaction is setting india for a far far greater calamity.
Innocents will die eventually as the perpetrators will execute, emotional supporters may take law into hands and then master stroke will eventually fail india.
Reminds me of an incident when a journalist asked Jernail singh Bhindrawala that his call for violence against Hindus in Punjab, what will happen to Sikhs outside Punjab? He said, “main unke liye antim ardas karoonga..”.
Demography has changed a lot in Punjab.. don’t rejoice

Unless state govt officials are involved none can block the PM's convoy on a flyover. This is where @HMOIndia should use a sledgehammer and investigate each and every offer involved including the @DGPPunjabPolice . We have lost 2 prime ministers to assassinations
This is where @AmitShah ji must display his supposed ruthlessness and spare none- 15 days flat.
This is a redline. A prime minister stuck on a flyover and blocked on both sides. Imagine the possibilities and I wonder if that was the plan. Are we lucky here or I am assuming too much? @DGPPunjabPolice must be made to answer and investigated.

(PDF) Allama Fazle Haq Khairabadi R.A Life and History researchgate.net/publication/35…
Page 32/33 he is pleading innocence to Col Clarke and then lamenting later during Andaman section why his requests of innocence were not heeded..
Once just needs to search. This PDF is written much later and in praise of Khairabadi but still you can read the contradictions
