The story of a 14 year old boy who died for his religion. Haqiqat Rai, a Puri Khatri from Sialkot could not tolerate muslims abusing Hindu gods & goddesses. So he insulted Fatima. For this insult, the qazi gave him 2 choices- convert to Islam or die.

Puri chose to die a Hindu. Zakariya Khan, the mughal governor knew the boy was innocent but he gave the matter to the maulvi (islamic scholars). Maulvi said to convert or die. His father tried to convince him to convert, but Haiqat Rai Puri refused. He was stoned to death, then beheaded at age of 14 or 15.
