Bhai Taru Singh (2018) - full transcript

Ripped by gdhaliwal23

On 10-December-1710 Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah issued
orders for complete annihilation of Nanak Panthis (Sikhs).

The then Governor of Lahore Abdul Samad Khan started
capturing and killing Sikhs from all over Punjab.

After death of Bahadur Shah his son
and successor Farukh Siyar announced

that the orders against Sikhs be
considered valid for all times.

In Punjab Sikhs were subjected to extreme torture
and Singhs were captured and summarily executed.

In 1726 Abdul Samad Khan' son Zakria
Khan was appointed as G ovemor of Punjab.

Immediately upon taking charge he started
persecuting Singhs with more zeal.

Zakria Khan spread his spies all
over Punjab.

Singhs were forced to take shelter in Jungles, Hills and desert.
But greedy Police Officers and spies had become cruel beasts.

Even ordinary Hindus and Muslims too
couldn't escape their greed and lust.



A day in Lahore during those
dreaded times.

Diwan he,

have Sikhs been wiped out or not'!

Sir, our armies are going
through each village

and ourinformers are operating
everywhere.

Sikhs of all ages are being
arrested as soon as they are found.

That sounds fine but how long
will this continue?

Our expenses have tripled.

All government officials are
going after the Sikhs

and this has diminished our
tax collection capacity.

Sir, I am not taking it easy
but I need more time.

Pillars have erected all over
the city with severed heads of the Sikhs.

I don't know what makes these
Sikhs so tough. Thousands have been killed

but not a single one has given up Sikhi.



SikhilSikhilSikhims...

I am tired of hearing these words.

Wipe these Sikhs out for good.

Sir, I am doing my best. No signs of
Sikhs can be seen in far-flung areas.

Those who have taken shelter in jungles
are being searched and killed.

But pardon me Lord, what difference does it make to
kill them elsewhere when they are protected right here'!

What do you mean?

Sir, hundreds of Sikhs are living
wit hout any fear in Lahore itself.

Even sights of severed heads of their
brethren don't deter them.

They don't even miss opportunities to
cremate those killed by us.

When an official order has been given to wipe out all
Sikhs, then how come they are living right under my nose?

How will I face the Emperor at Delhi.
Why the orders are not being followed. Explainl!

Sir, I beg your pardon. I have no say
in the city's matters.

Stop making these excuses! Arrest all
the Sikhs living inside Lahore today.

I wish to say something with your
permission.

Speak UP-

Sir, the Sikhs living in Lahore city
are skilled workers.

Many of them are carpenters and masons.

They help in develpoment and maintenance of the city. If
we kill them, the development of the city will be stopped.

The govemmenfs and police's performance
has already suffered.

What do you mean?

With your orders Sardar Subegh Singh is
under arrest.

Everybody knows that Subegh Singh is an excellent administrator
and Mathematician and there is none as capable as him.

Even being a sikh he honestly served economic
affairs of Lahore darbarfor so many years.

Diwan Kaura Mal is telling right Sir.

Alright, don't touch them for now. But make their lives harder
so that they turn away from Sikhi on their own. Ha... Ha...

Today's court is now dismissed.

May your majesty soar higher!

A man has been waiting to appear
before you for the last three days.

Bring him in.

Your name?

Rahim Baksh, Sir

What do you need?

Sir, I am a poor fisherman. I survive
by selling fish and running a boat.

What you have to say'!

Sir, please save this poor man's honor. My only
child, sixteen years old Salma, has been abducted.

Who has made this mistake of dishonoring
a Muslim girl in the Mughal empire?

Sir, I am a subject of Faujdaar of Patti. It is
under his orders that my daughter has been abducted.

And now his men are pressuring me to
many her off to him.

Are you talking about Jafar Begh, the Faujdaar of Patti? Look, he is a
successful officer. And he is very effective in wiping out the Sikhs.

And then He is my cousin as well.

I can not interfere in his matters.

Sir, you are my only hope. Have mercy on me.
I am a subject of yours. Please save my honor.

I daily pray five Namaaz live a truthful
life and as a true Muslim believe in Khuda.

Please save my honour sir please..
Save...

Man! Didn't you understand my point'! Go
and plead in front of Jafar Begh.

If he wishes your daughter can be
returned to you.

Sir, I have already appeared before Faujdaar Sahib. I
have come to your court after being turned away by him.

Please save my honorin the name of Allah
othenmise my life isn't worth living.

It's time for me to rest. Leave now.

Have mercy... Lord, have mercy.

Let go of my feet. Go to Delhi and plead in
front of the Emperor. Perhaps he can help you.

Abba... please save me. I will not many
this beast. Abba (crying)

Raheem Baksh, tell your daughter to come to her senses. I will give her all the
comforts of life if she marries me. Othenmise, she will perish in confinement.

I'll consume poison and kill myself
Abba...aaaaaa..

I'll die but I won't let anyone force
my daughter against herwill.

I'm taking away what belongs to my
master. Ha.. Ha.. Ha..

No! Let go of my daughter ... ..let her go.

Allah! Have mercy.

You seem troubled by grief. But remember that sorrow
and happiness are like the clothes one wears in life.

And times do change.

I don't know what Allah has in store for me.
I see no end to my sorrows.

Listen to me. Just down the road, there is
village Poohla. On its outskirts is the abode of a saint.

He earnestly serves everyone who shows up at his door. You should
rest there overnight and leave for your destination in the morning.

Your mind will find comfort in the
company of this saintly man.

What is the name of that saint?

Bhai Tam Singh.

What! A Singh?

Speak softly.

I am a Muslim fisherman. Why would
a Sikh help me'!

Listen, that house belongs to Guru Nanak. Caste
and religion based differences have no place there.

Everyone is treated as creation of
the same Lord.

That's believable but how did this
Singh get spared in the Mughal Empire'!

While the Government has decreed
complete decimation of all sikhs.

I have told you that Bhai Taru Singh
is a saintly soul and he is respected by all.

He has a big heart and helps everyone
though thick and thin.

I am returning from Lahore where hundreds of Sikh
men, women and children are murdered everyday.

To scare people, pillars of severed heads of sikhs
are erected at different places all over the city.

Government spies are actively searching for
Sikhs. Didn't anybody report Bhai Taru Singh'!

Listen brother, Hindus and Muslims living in the
surrounding villages hold Bhai Taru Singh in high regard.

Now you should go to him without
further delay.

Right Sir. May GOD bless you.

I am blind; Your Name is
my anchor and support.

I am poor and powerless.
Your name is my source of strength.

I am blind; Your Name is
my anchor and support.

O benevolent and merciful Lord,
You are so generous.

You pervade everywhere,
within and before me.

I am blind; Your Name is my
anchor and support.

You are the primal river,
You are the wealthiest Giver of all.

You alone give or take away;
there is none else.

I am blind; Your Name is my
anchor and support.

You are the wisest oracle,
how could I understand yourways'!

O my Master, You are the
merciful Lord of forgiveness.

I am blind; Your Name is
my anchor and support.

Come in. Welcome.

I am returning to my village from
Lahore but it has gotten dark.

Come in. Guru's Langaris ready.
Please eat and make yourself comfortable.

Waheguru! What are you doing'! Get
up and sit here. On this cot.

No santji, I am fine here.

You are my respectable elder.
Please call me Taru Singh.

This hymn that you were singing, is it composed
by Guru Nanak? It was very soothing to my heart.

No, it was composed by Naam Devjee.

Is Naamdev jee your Guru'!

Naamdevjee was a pious person whose spirit merged with Allah.
Guru Sahib has given his hymns the same respect as Gurbani itself.

Please eat.

Where did bhagatji live?

Bhagatji lived in the south and was
a washerman by occupation.

Awasherman! Isn't that a lower caste?

A particular occupation doesn't
make one low, instead his deeds do.

Those who unite with the Lord
are pious regardless of their caste.

Gurbani says.

“First, Allah created the Light...“

"From the One Light, the entire universe
welled up. So who is good, and who is bad?"

These are very pious words. Then why
do Sikhs have become government enemies'!

Sikhs never seeks enmity with anyone

but they are ordained to take a stand
against tyranny and to protect the downtrodden.

May Allah protect you all because there
is no one else to help the poor.

What happened? Seems you are in
some problem.

Faujdaar of Patti has abducted my daughter, Salma. I have
begged him to let her go but he has been blinded by lust.

Zakaria Khan in Lahore too has turned
me away.

This is grave injustice.

Khan Bahadartold me to appear before
the Emperorin Delhi.

What Khan Bahadar'? You can not expect
any justice from these wicked rulers.

Jafar Beg has locked up my daughter. Upon his orders,
I have tried to persuade her for a change of mind

but she has made it clear that she
w0n't many the old beast.

Kudos to her! Tyranny will get wiped
out if everyone takes a stand against it.

Sikhs are the only hope for the helpless these days. Even Salma
said that nobody other than the Sikhs is going to help us.

Please get up. Guru Nanak Sahib
will protect you.

Allah Himself has brought me to
your doorsteps.

Please do something; othenmise the Faujdarwill
have hired Qazis solemnize his nikah with Salma.

I'll see what can be done.
Please eat and make yourself comfortable.

Sister, get the two kurtas too
that you had sewn.

But veerji, those are meant for you.

My kurta is still in good condition.
I can get another one later.

But those Guru' Singhs need them more
than me. Go fast and bring them.

Mataji I should leave now.

[WaheguruflilkalkhalsagWahegurutlilKilkateh!
(WahegurulilKalkhalsajWahegqurufilKilzateh.

I am not afraid of losing my youth,
as long as I do not lose the Love of my Husband Lord.

Fareed, so many youths, without His Love,
have dried up and withered away.

Have dried up and withered away.

If You tell me to, O my Friend, I will
cut off my head and give it to You.

My eyes long for You; when will
I see Your Vision?

[WaheguruflilkalkhalsagWahegurutlilKilkateh!
(WahegurulilKalkhalsajWahegqurufilKilzateh.

Welcome Bhai Taru Singh ji.
It took you along while today.

A passerby walked in as I was about
to leave. Sewing him took some time.

[Wahegurufllilkalkhalsa{WahegurutlilKilkateh!
(WaheguruPlilkalkhalsalWahegurublilKilEateh!

We ran into a party of Mughal soldiers
near Harike this morning.

Somebody must have informed them
about yourJatha.

Yes, that seems to be the case.

Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj,

Your son Bhai Taru Singh has brought
Langar with Your blessings.

May the Langar be distributed among
the Singhs.

Please accept brave Taru Singh's seva
and bless him with Naam and undying love for Sikhi.

What else is going on in this area,
Bhai Taru Singh'!

Is everything alright in your area?

The elders and leaders in our village are very kind hearted.
The Muslims in the village too are well wishers of my family.

May Waheguru bless such souls
with happiness.

Bhai Sahib, I have a request.

Go ahead.

The passerby who came to our house today

Do as you have been told. Everybody's wishes are fulfilled at
Guru Nanak's doorsteps. Khalsa will deliver on its promise.

I am indebted to you.

Bhai Taru Singh, you are such a kind-hearted person. Today, you
asked Khalsa for a favor but that too for someone else's benefit.

May Waheguru bless you with strength and undying love for Sikhi.
May your conduct shine like a light house for Sikhs forever.

Chachaji, Allah has listened to your
daughter's prayers.

Ya Allah! Hun'); up and tell me if she
will be rescued.

Yes, I have informed a group of Singhs who have
landed in the forest about your situation.

They are going to rescue Salma tonight.

How will I repay the Singhs? You have helped me in
utter desperation. May Allah bless you with long lives.

Listen, we will meet the Singhs outside the
forest soon after sunset.

You will go with them for identifying Salma.

Sure.

Alright then. I am leaving for the fields
but you should get some rest.

I am not afraid of losing my youth,
as long as I do not lose the Love of my Husband Lord.

Fareed, so many youths, without His Love,
have dried up and withered away.

Have dried up and withered away.

How are you Chachaji? Why do you have a
worried look on your face?

N..No...No...nothing. I...|.. just like that.

Chachaji, you should quit smoking tobacco. I have
told you so many times that it is like a poison

that harms your body and soul.

AIright...alright.

Bhaji, I bow to your feet.

How are you brother Shama?
How is your father now'!

We both are fine'! But bhaaji, how come you
always care about others and not yourself?

Don't you have any concern for
your own home?

Waheguru ji takes care of everybody.
Who am I to take care of anyone?

Bhaaji, let me say something to you clearly.
You are respected by all.

My brother, this is due to the Greatness of Guru Nanak. I
am just a humble Sikh who is trying to follow His footsteps.

You shouldn't ignore what I am trying to say. Wheneverl
bring this topic up, you avoid the conversation.

Alright. Tell me what you are trying to say.

I don't think chacha Khushala is up to any good.
He always keeps an eye on you.

He has also made three trip recently to
Harbhagat Niranjania in Jandiala.

Is that all'!

Bhaaji, don't take this lightly. Harbhagat
Niranjania is a sworn enemy of the Sikhs.

Even Sikh children, women and elders aren't spared under
his command where every Sikh is captured and sent to Lahore.

I know about all this.

If you know then why don't you do something? What will we do
if anything happens to you due to Khushala's ill intentions?

What shall we do'!

Other than the Lord, no one can kill you
or save you; so why do you won'y, O my mind'?

My dear brother, nobody can kill anyone. This Khushala and
Harbhagat are also working in line with the Lord's wish.

Don't won'y. Waheguru ji takes care
of everybody.

Bhai ji, you shouldn't go about so fearlessly.
Listen to me and go underground for some time.

Shama have I done any sin'! Why should I hide?

Let's go and take a look at the fields.

I have fallen in love with my Beloved Lord.

Cutting it, it does not break, and releasing it, it does
not let go. Such is the string the Lord has tied me with.

I have fallen in love with my Beloved Lord.

Day and night, He dwells within my mind;
please bless me with Your Mercy, O my God.

I have fallen in love with my Beloved Lord.

I am a sacrifice, a sacrifice to my beauteous Lord;
I have heard his Unspoken Speech and Story.

I have heard his Unspoken Speech and Story.

Servant Nanak is said to be the slave of His slaves;
O my Lord and Master, please bless me with Your Mercy.

O my Lord and Master, please bless
me with Your Mercy.

I have fallen in love with my Beloved Lord.

Meharvan Singh ji! Balkar Singh, Jodh Singh,
Maha Singh and I will leave on foot.

We'll first overpower the guards
watching outside.

Chacha Rahim Baksh will go with us.
You come over with our horses later on.

We shall rescue sister Salma with Guru's help.

Right Bhai Sahib ji. Let's do Ardaas.

Ever present

Satguru Guru Granth Sahib Ji,

Your Khalsa is seeking your permission to launch a
mission for rescuing a helpless woman in despair.

Bless Your Khalsa with Your permission.
Have mercy and grant success in this good cause.

Nanak, Naam chardi kala tere bhaane
sarbat da bhalaa.

[WaheguruflilkalkhalsagWaheguruBlilKilkateh!

Chachaji, do you have fear of any sort'!

Why would I have any fear in the company
of such brave warriors? Give me a Kirpaan too.

I will cut off that wicked faujdaafs
head myself.

No, Chachaji today our mission is
to free sister Salma.

We'll take care of Faujadar some other time later. Today we
need to accomplish the task swiftly without any bloodshed.

Ok Khalsaji. Track the time in pace
with Japji Sahib.

Yourjatha will leave from here at
the start of Sodar Pauri

and we will gallop away with our
sister before completion of the Paath.

Ix Cnleer;, Selimren, (e wees

Who's there?

Uncover your face. Do it now!

Look up.

What a setup? Great job!

Get opened the door.

What do you say'! Yes... Yes.

Who is there?

Me, Rukabdeen.

What do you want'!

\Water.

Wait.

Here you go.

My daughter! Salma.

Al

Hun'); up. The Singhs have risked
theirlives for you.

Bhai ji, your are God in human form.

May Allah bless you with along life!

You rose above cast and creed distinctions
and put your lives on stake to save our daughter.

How will we ever pay you back for
your kindness?

Chachaji, what are you doing'!
I am like your son. Please get up.

The Almighty Lord doesn't have any caste
or creed then why do we as humans care forthem.

We have simply performed our duty by saving
our sister from the clutches of that beast.

I don't see why the rulers hold enemity
towards the Sikhs.

You are like the angels who have come to this
world for sharing sorrows of the poor.

This is the greatness of Guru Gobind Singh Ji
who taught his singhs the lesson of humanity.

0k, listen! You stay here for some days
because Jafar Beg's men are lookig around for you madly

Ya Allah!

Don't won'y. You are safe here.
Just remember not to be in the open in daylight.

I hope you don't get in trouble because of us.

Waheguru takes care of everybody.
Don't won'y about us getting in trouble.

I will inform you when it would be safe
for you to reach your destination.

Ya Allah, keep this kind angel in
safety.

Khalsa has sent their good wishes to sister Salma.
Here, take these gold coins for her wedding.

Allah, I've had your glimpse today.
You certainly dwell in these angels.

I have fallen in love with my Beloved Lord.

Taru Singh, where are you going'!
What's in that basket?

Chacha, there are parshadas in the basket.
Don't touch them with your tobacco smeared hands.

Parshadey? For who?

Chacha, parshadey are for the needy.
Is this a question to ask?

Tell me honestly, are these for the Singhs?

Chacha, if you already know then
why are you asking me'!

I have told you many times not to feed
the rebels but you don't budge.

Feeding the hungry is a virtuous deed.
You should stop won'ying.

Listen Taru Singh! We have to live
in this village.

The whole village will have to pay
a price because of you helping the rebels.

Chacha, they are God's beloved.
They don't exploit the helpless;

instead, they help everyone without
discriminating.

Don't try to teach me. The government
has ordered that no Sikh should be left alive.

We, the villagers, still risk our
lives to protect yourfamily.

Chacha, we are deeply grateful for that.
Waheguru has given you noble thoughts.

Chachaji, you should stop smoking.
I've told you many times that it's poisonous.

Anyway, I'll do something about it.

I have had enough. Please let me go.

Beat him hard; he's helping the Sikhs
eventhough he is a Muslim.

Please let me go. I won't repeat
this mistake.

I got tempted by the gold coins and
went with them to dress up wounds of an injured Sikh.

Where are the coins that he took from
the rebels'!

Deposit them in the treasury othenmise
you won't be able to stand on your own feet.

I swearin the name of Allah. I won't
keep any coins Sikhs gave me. Please let me go.

Take him away and confiscate from his house. If you
don't find anything throw him in jail. Let him rot there.

Come in Khushala. What brings you in today?

Bhagat ji I have a grave concern.
A Sikh lives in our village.

What did you say, a Sikh? Do you know it
is a big crime to shelter a Sikh?

Yes, sir, all the villagers respect
him like a saint.

Stop! How dare you praise a Sikh in front of me'!

I'm son'); master! I did'nt mean to praise the Sikhs. All I'm saying is that
the villagers would have boycotted me if I had taken any action on my own.

And are they going to worship you now'!
What has brought you here barking today?

Master, this time he's done something

that is going to bring down govemmenfs
fury on the entire village.

What happened?

Taru Singh had a hand in the Sikhs' attack on the house
of Patti's Faujdaarthat took place a few days ago.

Do you people want to die'? First you have protected a Sikh in your
village and on top you are partnering in his rebellious actions?

Sir, I came to you as soon as I found out.

Is the information correct?

Yes Hazzor, few days ago one Muslim traveller
stayed at his home for 3-4 days.

Later his daughter and wife also joined him.
Then one day suddenly they all vanished.

If I am not wrong this was the same girl
whom the sikhs rescued from Jaffar Begh's house.

Hmmm... what does this Taru singh do'!

He tends to a small piece of land he owns. He was very
young when his father died in a battle against the Mughals.

The villagers allowed his mother to stay because she had two
young children. She's raised both of them as devout Sikhs.

I will get him taken care of.

Don't you delay in future. Wherever you
find a sikh inform me immediately.

Yes Bhagatji.

Now, there are no Sikhs left.
We have killed them all. Ha...ha...ha...

Yes sir only a few Sikhs are left in the jungles.
They too will be wiped out soon. Ha..ha..ha..

Sir time is not far when sikhs will be
completely finished.

I beg your pardon. I hope this doesn't
become wishful thinking on your part.

What do you mean?

I am son'y sir but I don't think these Sikhs
can be wiped out so easily.

Quiet! We thought you were loyal to the government.
What is this nonsense you are uttering'!

Sirl have come to prove my loyalty only. The
news I have for you will surprise you to no ends.

Hun'); up and disclose the details.

Sir you are talking about wiping out a ll the Sikhs,
there's a Sikh living just outside the city walls.

As if that's not enough, he also openly helps the rebels.

Who is this culprit? Why hasn't
he been captured yet'!

This Sikh is named Taru Singh. He belongs
to Sandhu subcaste and lives in village Poohla.

He is the mastermind behind attack on
the Faujdaar of Patti.

Moman Khan!

Old lady where is the govemmenfs rebel?

Son, who are you talking about? There is no rebel
here. Only the God's worshippers reside here.

There is no need to play games with me.
Tell me where your son is'!

Are you talking about Taru Singh'! He is working in the
fields but he will be back soon. You can rest in the meantime.

I will prepare a meal for you. You seem
to have traveled from far.

No mataji, we are government employees. We cannot eat at
your place. We have orders to arrest your whole family.

Our home? No son, this is Guru Nanak's home.
We are His servants

and His orderis to serve with dedication
anyone who comes here with.

No. Produce Tam Singh now.

Listen sarpanch! Make arrangements for our stay and
bring Taru Singh to us. We must return to Lahore today.

Yes.

Soldiers tie up this girl.

Mata, we are leaving you here. Produce your son
quiclkly or else we'll have to use harsh means.

Go dear daughter. Guru Teg Bahaduris with you. Don't be
scared. Remain steadfast while accepting Guru's Will.

May He protect you!

Bhaji leave immediately.
Lahore's Faujdaar has come to arrest you.

Shama ! What are you saying"...

Bhaji there is no time to talk.
You head straight for the forest.

But my brother. Bhaji don't won'y about us.
We can take any punishment but you must escape.

Shama Shama... my brother first tell
me what happened?

Bhaji, seems like someone has reported about you.
I'm sure it is ill-spirited Khushala's dark deed.

He had gone to meet Harbhagat three days ago.
I'll teach him a lesson.

No Shama, we should not speak impolite.
It is all God's will.

Bhaiji, we need you and going to Lahore
means... No no bhai ji we cannot live without you.

Where is the faujdaar now'!

The Sarpanch and Numberdaar have taken him to
the village square. He has also tied sister Taro.

Waheguru.

Bhaji leave without delay.

Alright, you take the yoke home. I shouldn't waste
more time. I will go straight to the village square.

Elielle.l e?

Brother Shama, I should run away only if
I am a scoundrel. I haven't committed any sin or crime.

They will punish the entire village
if I run away.

It will be sinful for me to get the villagers
in trouble in order to save my life.

Bhaji, you know that no Sikh has ever returned
from Lahore. You are going to face certain death.

My brother, the brave believers are tested during difficult times.
My running away like a coward will tarnish the Singhs' dignity.

Death is going to come one day anyway,
then why fear it.

Dear Son Matajee,

I have heard that Lahore police has
come to arrest me.

Yes, my dear son. They are waiting for
you in the village square.

Why did you come home? Are you worried'!

No matajee. I came over to pay you respect.
Who knows whether we'll get meet again?

Long live my son. May beloved
Guru Gobind Singh protect you!

Always remember His blessing.

May the martrydom of younger
Sahibzadas inspire you

to maintain your Sikhi with unshom hair.

Yes matajee, I came overto seek this
very blessing from you.

I would cut my mind and body apart into pieces, and
offer them all to You; I would burn myself in fire.

May I follow in the footsteps of
Bhai Mani Singh ji and Baba Banda Singh Ji.

Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib is always with you.

Always remain steadfast in Guru's service like
Bhai Mati Das, Sati Das and Bhai Dayala did.

May your mind be always connected
with the Guru.

O Sarpanch why Taru Singh has not
come till now'!

Hazoorl have sent men towards the field.
They should be coming any moment.

Listen everybody don't try to
play smart with me.

My lord, I have one request. Please find some
reason to spare Taru Singh's and his sister's lives?

Nobody can save them. Khan Bahadar
Sahib himself has ordered their capture.

Bring Taru Singh here immediately;
I'll have to use harsh means othenuise.

Soldiers! Capture the Sarpanch
and the Numberdar.

We'll take them to Lahore if
Taru Singh doesn't show up.

Wait! Don't bother the elders.
I am here.

Capture this rebel before he
runs away.

Hey Ram jee! Why this grave
injustice?

This is the dark deed of despicable Khushala.
He has snitched on Bhai Sahib.

What is happening to me'! I've never
felt so scared before. Am I doing something wrong'!

Taru Singh must be a true worshipper
of Allah.

No...no...he is a kafir.

Soldiers! Let's leave with both
the rebels.

Stop! Leave Bhai sahib alone if
you care for your lives.

Who has raised a voice in front
of Moman Khan?

It is me, don't touch Bhai sahib.

What? A Muslim is supporting a kafifl

It is the Mughal administration that is a kafir. Bhai
Sahib is a respectable person. Taro is our sister.

Who has the guts to take ha'!

They have been arrested at the
orders of Khan Bahadur.

We don't recognize any Khan Bahadur.
You must leave now.

Soldiers! Arrest this insolent man.

Step forward if you have guts.

Moman Khan, you won't be spared today.

Capture this stupid fellow.

My brothers, listen to me. You are doing
something that isn't right. You may save us today

but the rulers will send a larger
force tomorrow and destroy the village.

The village will be spared
if we are taken.

We don't know all that. You and Taro can't
be taken to certain death in front of us.

O innocent ones! No one controls death. It is the
eternal will of the Lord. No one sends it or stops it.

What you call death isn't really death.
It is a way to unite with the eternal peace.

"The world is afraid of death - that death fills my mind with
bliss. it is only by death that perfect, supreme bliss is obtained."

Brothers, we all know Bhai Sahib.
He won't agree. Save sister Taro if you can.

Faujdaar Sahib, the villagers
are very angry.

Let Taro go if you want to be spared.
Taru Singh is ready to go with you.

Alright.

Baapu ji, what are you doing'!
Accept the God's will.

Taru Singh, we are so unfortunate.
We are unable to save our blessed child.

Only martyrtom can extinguish the
fire of brutality.

The rulers are trying to shut down a kitchen of the Guru today.
I urge all of you to open up your kitchens in Guru's service.

Serve every needy and passerby with
greater devotion and love.

There is no chance of myself coming
back alive from Lahore.

I am leaving my mother and sister under
your care. Please look after them.

Vol.

Sisters look foruvard to their brothers' weddings. Taro,
your brother too is getting ready for a wedding today.

Celebrate and sing happily.
Very few people weddings like this one.

Bid me a happy farewell as the tenth
Guru did to his elder sons.

Why are the soldiers taking Bhagatji away?
Bhagatji please don't ...go...

Mower, “my are “king away Bhagak.

The troops of Moman Khan started from
Poohla and reached Padhana at sunset.

Lahore was still 25-30 miles away.
Therefore they stopped over to spend the night there.

They went to the village square and
ordered the village chiefs to bring food.

The news of Bhai Taru singh ji's arrest
spread like fire in the village

Some youth stealthly saw Bhai Sahib
in capitivity

Everyone was very worried to see a holy
man like him facing certain death.

Some young men cawying rods, hatchets and sickles
gathered at the gurudwara of the Sixth Guru.

They made a plan to attack the troops
and release Bhai Sahib.

But one elderly man who knew Bhai Sahib
suggested

that Bhai Sahib shall be consented before
taking any action.

The elderly person and a young man went to Bhai sahib on
the pretext of serving him milk and told him about the plan.

Bhai Sahib told them not to take any action.

“The furnace of Zakria Khan's brutalities
has to be cooled with a sacrifice.

My death will uplift spirits of the
Panth and wipe out tyranny.

Guru Sahibs have taught us to accept Waheguru's
will. Going against this does not reflect well on us.

Go back and convey my love-filled greetings
to all and tell them not to cause any trouble.“

The same night someone reached group of Singhs in the
nearby forest and informed them about Bhai Sahib's capture.

The Singhs left immediately and confronted
a group of soldiers on the way to Lahore.

The soldiers ran away after a skimish.

But this was a different group of soldiers

who were cawying treasury items. They also had
some Hindu young men and women in their captivity.

The Singhs took the treasury items and arranged
for the safe return of Hindu men and women.

But they could not rescue Bhai Taru Singh.

Welivegpm I [ Libellen Weliegm fi (4 fefish

You illiterate Sikh! This is neither Anandpur
nor Amritsar where you greet with a Fateh.

This is the court of Khan Bahadur Sahib
Zakria Khan. Only a salaam is accepted here.

Lakhpat Rai! Singhs have always been greeting
with Fateh and will do so forever.

What charges are the basis for my capture?

Taru Singh, we have come to know about all of your
deeds. You have been helping and sheltering the rebels.

You are also the mastermind behind
what happened at Patti.

Harbhagat Niranjanian can produce strong evidence
to prove your guilt if you refute these charges.

Zakria Khan, why are you wasting time in false
proceedings. Everybody knows that this court is a sham.

Your phony witnesses are needed
only if I lie.

In front of your full court I declare that I
was the hand behind what happened in Patti.

The only difference is that your brutal and dishonest
government sees such activities as rebellious

while we see them as acts of kindness.

But Singhs are rebels. They rob and plunder
and you help them.

Those who you call rebels, robbers and
plunderers are Guru's beloved.

They leave their homes and risk their lives to
wipe out this cruel regime and protect the poor.

Sewing such selfless daredevils is virtuous.
This is what my religion teaches me.

Taru Singh, you are admitting your guilt
— you don't have a way out.

You'll be die bearing really horrible
torture.

But I pity you.

The door of mercy is open for you. Abandon
Sikhi and adopt Islam. I will spare your life.

Zakria Khan, don't Muslims die'!

One who is born is bound to die.
This is the unchanging law of nature.

Even the bravest tremble at the sight of death. Don't you know
that many Singhs have already died after suffering severe torture'!

You too are going to die a horrible death
unless you figure out a way to save yourself.

If the Singhs before me weren't scared
by your threats and torture,

then why are you fooling yourself into thinking
that I will get scared by your hollow threats?

I'm bound to Sikhi till the end.
This is my last and final reply.

The hair for which you show so much love and respect, I can
remove these pulled out with a severe beating with slippers.

It is you who will bear the humiliating beating of slippers on
your head. Those Singhs who have unwavering love for their Guru

always pray that their Sikhi remains
intact with unshom hair.

Take away this insolent man and put
him through the bone crusher.

Taru Singh, death looks appealing from far
but it becomes dreadful as it comes near.

How youthful you are. Why do you want
to die in vain?

Sacrificing oneself for his faith isn't dying in vain. Diwan
Sahib, it seems as if you are more scared of death than me.

Taru singh, accept Islam. Othenmise remember
you'll be reduced to ashes forever.

Subedar! Death comes to those who
are weak and cowardly.

We have gained life out of death itself. How can
you scare me by repeating its name over and over'?

You don't know Zakria Khan. I pity you.

Othenmise I can torture in such ways that
you will be begging for death and I won't let you die.

You are free to any methods of torture that you
can conceive of. Khalsa is ready to face you.

Today is the test of your tyranny and
my patience.The world will see,

who wins and who loses.

Start the bone crusher ... "we shall
fulfill his desire...ha...ha...ha

Keep turning ...keep him tuming...
Bring him to the court tomorrow if he survives.

What !! This singh is stilll alive 'I

Waheguru ji ka khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fatah

Taru Singh, how did you like the
bone crusher?

Diwan Lakhpat Rai, it's not easy to describe how much I
liked the crusher. You should get on it in order to find out.

Got bones broken but didn't let go
of his attitude.

What you call attitude is actually faith granted
by my Guru. And a Sikh neverloses his faith.

Where is your Guru whose faith you
are talking about?

My Guru is always with me, near at hand. Meditating
in remembrance on Him, I cherish Him forever.

Zakria Khan, this Sikh is facing your
torture with the support of his Guru.

Taru Singh, why are you dying in vain?
You still have a chance to save yourself.

Thousands of Sikhs chose death without making deals with you but
you are still trying. This proves that you have lost your mind.

Shut up ! shut up, you scoundrel !!

The voice of truth can never be silenced. Zakria
Khan, you better start counting your days now.

The jar of your sins is full and it is
going to break soon.

What? You will break my jar'? Ha...Ha...Ha... Look the one
whose bones are crushed, is threatening me. Ha...Ha...Ha

Sin itself destroys a sinner. You are
doomed because of your sins.

And what about you

My sikhi will remain intact with my
hair till the end..

Hair! He is so proud of his hair.

I'll see how his Sikhi remains intact with hair. Later|'||
humiliate him with a beating with slippers ti|| he dies.

You will suffer the humiliation of being beaten on the
head with slippers and this Khalsa will make you go first.

Take him away and remove his Sikhi.

Why is this Sikh still sitting comfortably'! I had ordered
you to remove this hair. Why my order hasn't been followed?

Sir, none of the barbers is ready to cut off his hair. They
get scared as they approach him then they back off wailing.

Lock all of them up in the dark cell. Summon an executionerimmediately
and remove his scalp. I don't want to see hair on his head.

Zakria Khan, did you see how my Guru's blessings
work? My Sikhi will remain intact with my hair.

Today the world will watch the words of a
true Guru's Sikh being fulfilled.

And your name will be tarnished in the whole world.

Follow my orders.

I place my head in offering before the True Guru, if it truly pleases
the True Guru. May my head be cut off, but my Sikhi remain intact.

What are you doing ?

Your scalp is being removed. You will squirm in pain
when the chisel starts making cuts and hinder our work.

Dear ones, I am a Singh; not a sheep or goat
that you are about to slaughter.

Today is a blessed day because it has given me a
chance to sacrifice my life for my faith.

You do start your work and let me connect with my Guru.

Taru Singh, it's not easy to get your scalp removed. Your death
is going to be the most dreadful death anyone has faced thus far.

You still have a chance to save yourself.

Lakhpat Rai, this is my Guru's blessing that
He has chosen me for the ultimate test.

Today, the world will see the peak of evil
kingdom's brutality but my Sikhi faith will prevail upon it.

Now ask your workers to proceed without further
delay and I will start my job.

Rarely comes a benevolent Gurmukh who
serves others.

The Gurmukh abandons ego and receives
the fruit of delight.

Only the Gurmukh tells the story of the (grandeur of ) Word to the
disciples (of the Guru) and never claims to tell something as his own.

Deeply pondering over the Word, a Gurmukh
practices Truth in his life

He likes the Truth, which resides in his
heart as well as speech

Such a Gurmukh not only spruces his own life
he rather gets the whole world across.

Bhai Taru Singh Ji's martyrdom is unrivaled.
He sacrificed his life out of compassion for others;

remained steadfast in his beliefs and lived
a true Gursikh ti|| the last breath.

The love which the Lord's servant feels
for the Lord lasts forever.

In my life, I sewed my Lord and Master, and
as I depart, I keep Him enshrined in my consciousness.

After Bhai Sahib's scalp was removed Zakria Khan
ordered to throw his body in the ditch outside Lahore Fort.

Some Sikhs & Hindu's of Lahore on getting
a chance brought Bhai Sahib to a Dharamshala.

They washed Bhai Sahib's wounds with Neem water
and bandaged his head.

Bhai Taru Singh refused to any further treatment
and kept meditating on Gurbani and Simran.

The same night Zakria Khan's urinary
passage got blocked.

No medicine of any Hakim- Doctor or prayers 0
f Pir-Fakirs could relieve Zakria of his pains.

Then, Bhai Subeg Singh was requested to go
and seek pardon from Bhai Taru Singh Ji.

But Bhai Sahib was in deep meditation.

Bhai Subeg Singh then approached Dal Khalsa.

After listening to the whole story Khalsa Ji pronounced
that no power can reverse Bhai Taru Singh Ji's words.

Zakria Khan' end is near but he can pass u
rine if Bhai Sahib' shoes are slapped on his head.

It happened the same way. For 21 days Bhai Sahib's shoes
were slapped on Zakria Khan' head and he would pass urine.

On 22nd day Zakria Khan died.

For 22 days Bhai Sahib remained alive
in meditation without scalp.

When Bhai Sahib was informed about Zakria' death he said
“Guru Fateh“ to all present and left for heavenly abode.
