Rank Ninth Guru / Second Sikh Martyr
Domain Religious liberty; martyrdom for another faith
Alignment Holy / Sikh
Weakness His public defense of Hindu religious freedom drew Aurangzeb's direct hostility
Key Act Agreed -- on the counsel of his nine-year-old son Gobind Rai -- to give his life rather than allow Aurangzeb to forcibly convert Kashmiri Pandits to Islam. Beheaded publicly at Chandni Chowk, Delhi, on November 11, 1675. Remembered as *Hind di Chadar*, "the Shield of India"
Source *Bachittar Natak* (Gobind Singh's autobiography); Sikh tradition

“He gave his head, but not his faith.” — common Sikh formulation

The act remains historically singular: a leader of one religion publicly martyred for the right of another religion to exist.
