Which among the following Sikh Guru was executed by Aurangzeb ?
[A] Guru Angad
[B] Guru Arjun Dev
[C] Guru Ram Das
[D] Guru Tegh Bahadur
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Guru Tegh Bahadur]
Notes:
In 1675 AD, the 9th Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur was captured and executed by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb because he objected to
Aurangzeb’s forced conversions. This led to the creation of Khalsa and the growth of Sikh military under the last Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh (who was the son of Guru Tegh Bahadur).
