Not quite sure if the transliteration in Devanagari is correct. Please can someone double check it for me. Sukh 13:57, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The section on the future Guru's birth is suspect as the name Bahadur was rewarded to the young man after he had evidenced noteworthy courage on the battle field at age 13?, using his sword so well he was had the title Bahadur a title of honor appended to his name. For men to have known of the childs name 13 years before it was given speaks of majic or fortunetelling. Perhaps the writer just got the name wrong?
Earning his Sikh martrydom? I did not know of the special category. Sikhs have earned martrydom often, and have been awarded many medals of valor in many armies, to my, limited knowledge, Sikhs generally use the term earned martrydomor was martyred. He was, as is well documented in history, beheaded during his confrontation with Auranzeb in an effort to stop the ruler from taking steps to forcibly convert all of India's Hindus, starting with the Hindu Pandits of Kashmir who had come to him seeking help.Atmamatma 02:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Before the execution I think he was offered, as was an earlier Sikh Guru, a reprive if he would do some majic or perform a miracle. Both Gurus refused to do majic.
The article is in start phase.Please don't delete my contibutions .ThanksAjjay (talk) 07:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
There are only five names of places given.And they are not places but schools or hospitals.There must be hundereds of such places named after him .Those can't be put in an article.Freankly the article must be deleted and not merged with this article.No use.Ajjay (talk) 09:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
The following content is removed from the article page to here.
"Guru Tegh bahadur was the protector of the tilak (ointment) and janeu (sacred thread) of the Hindus. In the land of the gods rang shouts of adoration."
Where is this quoted from - book, publisher, page? Who said these lines - Guru Gobind Singh, translater, reviwer, poet in Guru Gobind Singh's court? There is no uniform content of so called "Dasam Granth". Scholars are still debating how much of the content is that of Sikh Guru Gobind Singh, as such one cannot assert on Wikipedia saying -"Guru Gobind Singh has written.....". --RoadAhead =Discuss= 19:15, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
This is a garbage article written to portray Aurangazeb as a fanatic. This supposed guru, Tegh Bahadur, got what he deserved for causing unrest. No emperor or king in those times would tolerate such a new, pseudo religion, nay cult, to challenge their rule. The mughals were right to put these sikhs to the sword. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.200.9.78 (talk) 10:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

The first sentence says Nov. 24 but the section Execution says Nov. 11. I presume this is a calendar issue (Nov. 24 Julian falls on Nov. 24 Gregorian) but I don't know the facts. Can someone who is confident fix it? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 15:56, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
I agree with Richard. It shows Nov. 11, 1675 on Britannica. IndieDit Guy (talk) 09:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Why are ALL instances of his name in boldface in the introductory paragraph? I think it violates wikipedia guidelines. Here's a few famous personalities that I've checked, you can see NONE of them have multiple boldface instances of their names :
I suggest removing all boldface from all names but the first to get the article in line with the guidelines.

In need of urgent de-POVing. TrangaBellam (talk) 14:58, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
In articke on Guru Tegbahadur on wikipedia, it is found written that Guru Hargobind (6th guru) was father of Guru Tegbahadur. However, in another article of Guru Har Krishan, it is written that Guru Har Krishan was father of Guru Tegbahadur aka Tyag Mal. In another article on wikipedia, it is written that Guru Hargobind (6th guru) was succeeded by Guru Har (7th guru), who was succeeded by his younger son Har Krishan(8th guru). There are lot of anomolies found in the names and chronology on Sikh gurus,especially about the life of tenth guru viz Guru Gobind "Singh", not only on wikipedia but on other websites such as sikhiviki,indianculture.org, britanica. 103.183.55.79 (talk) 17:36, 22 December 2022 (UTC)

Many scholars identify the narrative as follows: A congregation of Hindu Pandits from Kashmir requested help against Aurangzeb's oppressive policies, to which Guru Tegh Bahadur decided to protect their rights.Are you sure you want to proceed with the 3O? Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 12:19, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Two users have now removed the paragraph that introduced the claims of "Persian and non-Sikh sources", including the earliest Persian account of the events leading to Tegh Bahadur's execution written by Ghulam Hussain Khan. The paragraph (removed in this edit) summarized the claims made by Persian sources without presenting them as fact, and cited contemporary sources that apparently saw fit to mention these accounts. Without this paragraph, the remaining arguments regarding these sources now lack context, as the Persian narrative is not introduced in the first place. How should we proceed? Perception312 (talk) 21:08, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Satish Chandra cautions against taking Ghulam Husain's argument at face value, as Ghulam Husain was a relative of Alivardi Khan — one of the closest confidantes of Aurangzeb — and might have been providing an "official justification". Also, the Guru's alleged association with Hafiz Adam is anachronistic. Hafiz Adam died in Medina in A.D. 1643, 21 years before Tegh Bahadur attained the status of Guru.[citation needed] Satish Chandra further writes that Ghulam Husain's account places Guru Tegh Bahadur's confinement and execution in Lahore, while Sikh tradition places it in Delhi.
Then Tegh Bahadur, the younger son of Guru Hargobind, occupied the seat for fifteen years. In the end he was imprisoned under Imperial officers; and in 1081 A.H. [A.D.1670-71], corresponding to the 17th regnal year of 4 Alamglr [A.D.1673-74],10 he was executed at Shahjahanabad [Delhi] in accordance with ‘Alamgir’s orders. At the time of writing this book. Guru Gobind Rai,11 the son of Guru Tegh Bahadur, has been in occupation of the sacred seat for twenty-two years.from [] this proves that Not ONLY sikh accounts but also a Persian account from 1696 supports the Claim of Guru Tegh Bahadur ji being executed in Delhi NOT in Lahore by this Satish Chandra and Ghulam Hussein Khan are Both in the Wrong and need to be Removed for not fitting into WP:RS.
@Alvin1783: Clearly you want things your way, despite the disagreement of others. I'm not an admin and I can't stop you, and I certainly don't have time to waste on this argument. Tapping out. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:20, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
User:Alvin1783, you have linked to a primary source that I do not have the expertise to evaluate. If you have a reliable secondary source that contradicts Satish Chandra's analysis, we can add the opposing viewpoint, but I don't support removing all material sourced to Satish unless you can get the Reliable Sources noticeboard to agree that he is unreliable when it comes to Tegh Bahadur. His Wikipedia article says he is "one of India's leading scholars of the Mughal period". Perception312 (talk) 15:37, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
