happy Bandi Chhor Divas and Diwali today Artwork - ravinartoor For those of you wondering, the Bandi Chhor Divas is a Sikh celebration and the primary reason why we Sikhs rejoice in the festivities on the day of Diwali This day marks Guru Hargobind Singh Ji’s - the sixth guru of the Sikhs - and humanity’s triumph over Jahangir’s evil regime Following his refusal to pander to the Mughal emperor’s commands, Guru Hargobind was imprisoned in the Gwalior Fort, where he joined 52 other Hindu Princes After spending years in the prison - despite having had enough prowess and chances to free himself - the Guru was finally set free; however, he insisted that the other prisoners, who had been wronged by the regime - leave with him, too Jahangir, oblivious to Guru Hargobind’s astute nature, said that anyone who could hold on to his cloak could leave Guru Hargobind then had a special cloak crafted, which had 52 tails to it As the Guru walked out of the gates, he managed to free 52 princes with him, leaving Jahangir in utter shock, dismay and devastation Wasn’t to be the only time this happened to him, mind The day the Guru returned to Amritsar, the entire city, already basking in the joys of Diwali, had itself another reason to celebrate Humanity had another reason to celebrate Remember, the good always bests the bad, even if it takes a little longer It’s what Ram and Guru Hargobind Singh have taught us anyway
