It has been 302 years since these great young souls, roohani yothey, chose to be put to death rather than be forced to give up their rights & beliefs. Their supreme sacrifice represents that a stand against oppression, tyranny, inequality and bigotry is a just stance. The Sahibzade showed remarkable clarity of consciousness, courage and unity in the face of overwhelming adversity. They stood for  freedom of belief & faith, freedom from torture, freedom from discrimination and freedom from slavery of thought.

The Sahibzade were offered bribes and wealth of immense value. In spite of the fact that they were so young, attempts were made to seduce them with beautiful women. They were ordered to renounce Sikhism. To the surprise of their captors, the young princes did not waver in the least and steadfastly refused to accept each and every bribe and temptation that was offered to them. Seeing their resolve, they were then subjected to humiliation and threats. Yet the young princes did not cower! Finally, their tormentors resigned to the fact that these were no ordinary children and ordered them to be executed by entombing them in a brick enclosure.  

With this event, we hope to bring together people from all over the world in remembering the courageous young sons of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, who, despite the horrendous physical, emotional and mental torture they were put through, stood firm and brave. The Sahibzade did not think twice when they sacrificed their lives to make the point that no one should surrender their spiritual sovereignty to anyone. May we never forget their sacrifice in the fight against tyranny and religious persecution.  The bricks of injustice that entombed them are the building blocks of the Khalsa Brotherhood. We, and the whole of India, owe our freedom today to such courageous actions of these and numerous other martyrs of our faith. It’s a glowing example for the whole of humanity.
