The story of Sikh martyrdom actually began in 1521, when 10 year old Bhai Tara was helping to put out fires, started by Babur's butchering army.Later Bhai Popat Ji was martyred trying to save a family, from the butcherous Babur army.
During partition thousands of Sikh women qued to jump into wells, rather than fall into the hands of marauding murderous gangs of butcherous killers roaming the country side lawlessly, in the name of religion.
Look out for this book, which must be a good read for everyone proud of their history.
