Babar is believed to ask Guru for his blessings in his endeavour to conquer🇮🇳
Nanak replied
“you've come to conquer my land & you have the audacity to ask for my blessings".
Thus began the long history of hostility between Muslim invaders & all the Sikh Gurus.

Sardar Patel too had started organizing the supply of gun powder. Since it was prone to clumping because of moisture, after the families retired, the Sikh youth would put out the tandoor and then dry up the gunpowder in the simmering heat.
Men,women were prepared in self-defense.However, neither had much of a defense against local Muslims, who passed on information about prettiest Sikh/Hindu girls to mobs

Armed with information about the prettiest young women in every village, they descend upon Sikhs & Hindus with the intent of killing the men, raping & abducting their women.

fathers-brothers hugged them & cried,women didn’t, that’d weaken the men!
Ones who had gunpowder,shot their daughters and wives dead,those who’d run out of it, slit their beloved ones with kirpans as they knew what awaited the survivors!
