Episode 7: Historical Query: The Punjab Jail of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji

Background Music: (A grave, poignant and introspective musical ambience that connects the viewer with the pain and solemnity of history.)

Sangat Ji, Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! The plaque that you are presently looking at clearly mentions, on the basis of the written testimony of historian Kesar Singh Chhibber, that on 12 July, Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, Bhai Dayala Ji and Guru Sahib were arrested from this very place and taken to Ropar. They were confined in an old cell in Ropar, and thereafter, on the orders of the officials of Sirhind—Abdul Aziz and Dilawar Khan—Guru Sahib and his accompanying disciples were brought to this ancient jail located in Bassi Pathana on 13 and 14 July 1675 CE.

At this moment, we are standing on the roof of this very jail. Behind us, the ancient turrets can be seen—one of which has collapsed, narrating its own misery. The grand and formidable gateway that you are seeing in the video, which itself has witnessed dreadful chapters of history, is the same entrance through which we are now entering along with our team.

Today, we will conduct a detailed examination of this entire jail complex. Our guide, Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji, will acquaint us with every corner of this heritage structure. Thereafter, we shall take the sangat into the depths of this jail’s historical narrative.

Beginning of the Jail Visit

Background Music: (A calm yet valiant musical strain permeates the air, enhancing the gravity of the place.)

Sardar Satinder Pal Singh Ji narrates that when one entered this jail, there used to be the sitting-place of the jail officer right above the main gate. From that very position, the prisoners were monitored. The massive wall standing right in front, upon entering the gate, belongs to the same period—very long, about two-and-a-half to three feet thick, and constructed entirely of Nanakshahi bricks. In all the ancient structures that have survived till today, this special feature is commonly seen—the firm, beautiful and enduring construction made of Nanakshahi bricks.

At this point, Dr. Khoji raises a serious question: “If this jail was constructed during the time of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji and has survived intact until today, then why could the Thanda Burj in Fatehgarh Sahib not be preserved? When walls this thick and strong are still standing firm, why was the Thanda Burj not protected?”

Background Music: (A soft, reverent melody descends into the atmosphere, elevating the sanctity of the site.)

In a sorrowful tone, Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji replies, “This is the shortcoming of our own community, Ji! We did not preserve our real historical structures. Have you seen the haveli of Bhai Todarmal in Fatehgarh Sahib? It still stands in excellent condition—but it survived only by nature’s grace! If that haveli too had come into the hands of certain kar-seva groups, it might have been demolished to construct a new stone building in its place.”

A long, painful sigh escapes Dr. Khoji’s lips—“Waheguru…”

The Ancient Thanda Burj — An Incomplete Chapter of History

Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji explains further: “We oppose no one, but we must say this—whatever history remains, it must not be destroyed. We have seen the old Thanda Burj with our own eyes. It was small in size but of immense importance. Its image is still alive in our memories. Our elders even today possess excellent knowledge of this history.”

Dr. Khoji asks gently, “You must surely feel deep sorrow over this loss?”

Tears of compassion surface in the eyes of Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji: “Very much…! Where the old Thanda Burj once stood, a chhapar (a small water channel) used to flow. The Burj was built there because natural cool breeze and flowing water met at that spot. In those days, Mughal officials would sit there and enjoy the pleasant weather.”

The Ancient Tree and the Truth of Time

Dr. Khoji points towards the root of a large tree and asks, “You must have seen how this tree appeared in its original form?”

Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji explains, “I have a few old photographs of it. The tree was extremely old, and because of age, it had leaned to one side, becoming a threat to nearby houses, so it had to be cut. But wonder at the play of nature—a new sapling sprouted from another side of the same root, and its branches are an extension of the older tree’s branches. One tree perished, and another rose from its very root.”

Dr. Khoji reminds the sangat:
“jo upjai so binas hai, dukh kari raave balāi. (Ang 337)”

“ਜੋ ਉਪਜੈ ਸੋ ਬਿਨਸਿ ਹੈ ਦੁਖੁ ਕਰਿ ਰੋਵੇ ਬਲਾਇ॥ (ਅੰਗ 337)”

Meaning—whatever has taken birth is destined to perish. Great trees have vanished; great beings consumed by pride have perished. Those who today believe their roots to be unshakable must remember—nature’s justice is unchanging. If the roots of centuries-old trees can be unsettled, why not ours?”

This is such an ancient banyan tree that at some distance from it, several of its branches had emerged on the other side. Some of these branches entered the soil, taking root, and grew into an entire separate tree of their own.

Background Music: (A poignant melody that seems to brush away the dust of time, gently leading the audience into history.)

Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji continued, “Come, now let us proceed towards the second section of the jail. In earlier times there used to be different types of prisons here—just as today we see separate areas for ‘under-trial prisoners’ and ‘regular convicts’. In the same manner, this historical jail too had divisions—ordinary inmates were kept in a separate area, while professional or dangerous criminals were confined in another.”

The section that stood before us bore the very appearance of that cramped, narrow and harsh cell area. After governmental restoration, modern plaster had been applied to its outer walls, but inside, the ancient testimony of Nanakshahi bricks still remained intact. The walls of this section were nearly two-and-a-half feet thick—so wide that even the blows of time could not erase them fully. Small recesses had been made near the floor where prisoners would sleep. This was the area where the most dangerous criminals were confined.

Which Section Held Guru Sahib?
Sharing his research experiences, Dr. Khoji said, “From the words of our elders, we have always heard that Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji was confined either in this section or in the large section opposite it.”

To this, Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji said with utmost seriousness, “According to our information, Guru Sahib was confined here, because the section opposite has undergone significant renovation and iron grills have been newly installed there; whereas this part retained much of its old form for a long time. There used to be an old door here in front which no longer exists.” Pointing downward he said, “Look at this ancient flooring—its squared design, its beauty, everything is remarkable. Even during restoration, full care was taken to preserve it in its original form.”

Life of the Prisoners — Inside and in the Open Cells
Dr. Khoji said, “So the prisoners would either stay inside the dark inner chambers, or in this open space, while in front lay the main entrance and the outer walls.”

As he spoke, deep reverence settled into his voice. “We have shown this entire jail in the video clip, but Sangat Ji, I will say only one thing—
‘Jithai jai bahai mera satguru so thanu suhaavā Rām rājē.’ (Ang 450)

‘ਜਿਥੈ ਜਾਇ ਬਹੈ ਮੇਰਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਸੋ ਥਾਨੁ ਸੁਹਾਵਾ ਰਾਮ ਰਾਜੇ॥’ (ਅੰਗ 450)

 Meaning—wherever my True Guru resides, that place becomes supremely beautiful, blessed and sanctified.”
His voice trembled with emotion, “We have not come here merely to see the jail, we have come to pay homage to it. Who would care for this crumbling old structure otherwise? But because Guru Sahib’s divine feet graced this place—this is no longer a jail, it has become a Guru-dham.”

He added heart-touching words, “Even today, wherever the Khalsa is imprisoned, those jails become blessed, for the souls inside recite Naam and Scriptures. That is why even this prison rises to a place of honour.”

The Larger Section — Kitchen, Water and the Old Arrangements
Moving toward the larger section, Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji explained, “This part was much more spacious. The jail’s kitchen was also located here, but during restoration it was found in such a dilapidated condition that it could not be saved—so it had to be dismantled and rebuilt.”
Arrangements for water were made within the jail itself so that prisoners would have no excuse to go outside.

Reflecting on this, Dr. Khoji asked, “Did the section in front also have such facilities?”

In response, Sardar Satyender Pal Singh Ji clarified, “No, the facilities there were fewer, because only 4–5 dangerous prisoners were kept in that section. The main functioning of the jail was carried out in this area.”

Women Prisoners’ Section and the Sikhs Accompanying Guru Sahib
Dr. Khoji presented an important historical reference: “Guru Sahib had six companions at that time—Bhai Mati Das Ji, Bhai Sati Das Ji, Bhai Dayala Ji, Bhai Gurditta Ji and Bhai Udham Ji. It is possible that they were kept in the larger front section, because that portion was used for women prisoners in those times.”

Bassi Pathana — A Settlement of Pathans and a Vast District
Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji revealed an important fact: “This entire region was once the settlement of Pathans of Sirhind, which is why it came to be known as Bassi Pathana. This jail was under the jurisdiction of the Suba of Sirhind and Ropar.”

Dr. Khoji added another dimension: “Pathans were considered extremely powerful and influential at that time; hence a special prison was constructed particularly for their surveillance.”

Sardar Satinder Pal Singh Ji continued, “Most officials of this region resided here, and at that time this place was a major district.”

Then came a serious request: “According to our elders, the district area of Bassi Pathana was so vast that it included Ambala, Ropar, Patiala and even Ludhiana. We request your team to research and tell us when this district was established and when it ceased to exist.”

Dr. Khoji smiled gently and said, “Certainly. This is indeed a very important area of research and it shall be done.”

A Personal Memory — A Light Moment in the Journey
The atmosphere grew lighter during the journey when Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji laughingly narrated a personal incident. “In our youth, we once had a quarrel among friends. Because of it, we too landed here in this jail for a few days!”

Laughing, Dr. Khoji said, “Wonderful! You too became blessed—you served your sentence in the jail touched by the footsteps of the Guru.”

Amused, Sardar Ji added, “Yes Ji, a full 14 days. Now all of that has become just a memory.”
This is how the incident was narrated to us, as it occurred at the time.

Background Music: (A solemn, spiritual tune presenting the jail as a sacred site, sanctified by the presence of the Guru.)

The Dome — The Sentinel of Ancient Prison Architecture
Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji explained, “While constructing prisons, domed watch-towers were built above; these domes served as the living quarters of the guards. Even in modern prisons today, the watchtowers that we see are essentially the contemporary form of this ancient structure. The government has restored most of this section, and the remaining work is in its final stage.
Observe this carefully—during that era there was no electricity and no fans. In the scorching summers, prisoners were kept in such underground rooms that remained naturally cold. You can experience for yourself how cold this place still feels.”

The Tradition of Underground Chambers — Protection from Heat, Testimony of History
Dr. Khoji further added, “Those who sit today in air-conditioned rooms and question such matters must understand that the arrest of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji took place during the fierce summer months. Where were air-conditioners then? This is why underground ‘bhoras’—meaning subterranean cellars—were constructed. Even in Gurudwara Baba Bakala associated with the sacred memory of Guru Sahib, one such cellar exists. Similarly, in the historical complex of Gurudwara Bhora Sahib at Chak Nanki, yet another ancient cellar remains preserved even today.
The unfortunate part is that our society has often rebuilt the structures demolished by invading forces with great reverence, yet the ancient sites connected to our Gurus were torn down by our own hands to erect new buildings. This has been a grave mistake.
Yes, wherever Mughal forces had destroyed Sikh structures, the Sikh tradition rebuilt them with due honour—for example, Baba Seva Singh Ji of Anandgarh Sahib, who undertook the monumental effort of rehabilitating the ruined town of Sri Anandpur Sahib. But those who demolished ancient, well-preserved sites of our Guru heritage to erect new constructions have indeed harmed our priceless legacy.”

Cold Rooms — Shelter in Summer, Warmth in Winter
Dr. Khoji remarked, “Even the soldiers and officers of that era spent their nights in such cool rooms during the extreme summer, and in winter these same rooms provided warmth.”

He then signalled further movement: “Now we will proceed to the roof of the jail, meaning its upper section. Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji is deeply knowledgeable about the entire history of Kahlo(n) Sahib, and he will provide us with all information related to this jail. Stay connected. Now we move toward the secluded, isolated corner of the jail…”

The Watchtower on the Dome — Eagle-Eyed Surveillance Over the Entire Region
Sardar Jitinder Pal Singh Ji explained, “Earlier, guards would sit atop this elevated structure. From here they kept vigil over long distances. Such architectural structures were called ‘ghumats’. The entire circumference of this jail once had such domes.”

Dr. Khoji asked, “Were there four such domes in this jail?”

The reply came, “Only four remain now; the exact number that existed earlier is not known.”

Dr. Khoji observed, “Meaning that among these four domes, only this one has been repaired. This architectural structure is built like an old traditional house, and from here the entire town can be viewed.”

Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji pointed out, “From here, even the Khanda Chowk is clearly visible.”

The Jail Window — A Testimony of Unique Architecture
Dr. Khoji continued, “While walking from the Gurudwara Sahib toward the jail, this window becomes visible directly in front. The window you see in the footage is that very ancient window from where surveillance over the whole area was maintained. Though this place is a jail, from above its architectural beauty appears truly astonishing. The design of the jail—the very conception—is unparalleled. Now we ascend further…”

When History Falls Silent — Tradition Speaks
Dr. Khoji said, “There is an important statement by historian Sardar Karam Singh Ji:
‘When history falls silent, or confuses by creating doubts, then the path of tradition must be upheld.’
We too must descend into the generations of the village of Bassi Pathana to understand this tradition, because the oral history preserved by its people is the true heritage of this site. Whatever the elders heard from their ancestors, they conveyed to the next generation in the form of ‘Sakhis’, and through this very oral tradition we receive confirmation of the arrival of Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji at this place.”

Bassi Pathana — A Settlement of Pathans, Triumphed by the Khalsa
He continued, “This village—Bassi Pathana—which lies before Fatehgarh Sahib, was once a Muslim settlement inhabited by Pathans; hence its name. The history of this region is extremely significant. As we travel inward from Ropar, a bus-stand becomes visible. After passing a few shops, the jail appears on the right. Before entering the jail road, the ‘Khanda’ stands at the junction. That Khanda testifies that at the place where once the cries, punishments and sufferings of prisoners echoed, today the Khalsa Nishan Sahib stands soaring with honour. Indeed—where once punishments were delivered, today that very square is adorned with the divine radiance of the Khanda.”

The Next Stage of the Journey — Reaching the Gurudwara Sahib for Darshan
Dr. Khoji said, “Now we first reach the Gurudwara Sahib and bow our heads in reverence.”

Background Music: (A solemn, poignant and introspective tune that connects the viewer emotionally with the narrative.)

Meeting the Gurudwara Management Committee — An Attempt to Hear the Heartbeat of Tradition
We now meet the management committee of the Gurudwara Sahib. It is this sangat, this soil, and this living tradition that has preserved the history of this place from generation to generation. We shall learn what the customary oral tradition of this village says. With us is the chief sevadar of this village, the respected President, Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji Kahlo(n) Sahib.

Dr. Khoji respectfully asked, “Kahlo(n) Sahib, as the President, we wish to know—what does the tradition of this village say? Everyone knows that the Gurudwara management committee is running its affairs with great dedication and beauty.”

In deep humility, he replied, “No, Ji. Here the word ‘President’ carries no ego. We are all mere sevadars of the Guru’s home. Within the management committee of the Gurudwara, the question of ‘who is the President’ never holds any significance. This is the house of the Guru—in this house, the highest honour is to serve as a humble servant.”

History and Tradition — When Two Streams Converge at One Point
Dr. Khoji further asked, “President Sahib, history states that Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji were imprisoned here and taken to Delhi. But what does tradition say? What does the oral history say—those customs that have flowed from elders to our present generation?”
To understand this cherished tradition, we now turn to Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Ji Kahlo(n).

From the Voice of a Sikh Sevadar of Bassi Pathana — A Living Record of Guru Sahib’s Four Months in Jail
Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Kahlo(n) began the conversation with “Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!” He said, “I am Sardar Jatinder Pal Singh Kahlo(n), resident of Bassi Pathana, District Fatehgarh Sahib.
I wish to inform the sangat that the blessed Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji remained in this Bassi Pathana jail for four months. The historical details of their stay here have already been explained by Dr. Khoji Ji.”

The Agony of Kashmiri Pandits — Guru Sahib as the Protector of Dharma
He continued, “When Guru Sahib resided at Sri Anandpur Sahib, the Mughal oppression on Kashmiri Pandits was intensifying. Their sacred janeu threads were forcibly removed; they were compelled to convert. A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits came to Sri Anandpur Sahib with their sorrowful plea. They requested Guru Sahib, ‘Save us from the tyranny of the Mughals.’
Then the blessed Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji declared, ‘If religion is forcefully converted, humanity itself will perish.’ Guru Sahib told the Pandits, ‘Inform Aurangzeb that if I abandon my faith, you all may convert. But if I remain steadfast, then you too must remain steadfast.’
This message reached both Delhi and Lahore.”

Aurangzeb’s Summons — Guru Sahib’s Journey to Delhi
“Aurangzeb, seated in Delhi, ordered that Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji must appear in Delhi, for the matter could only be resolved there.
Guru Sahib peacefully departed from Sri Anandpur Sahib towards Delhi, accompanied by some sevadars and members of the sangat.”

Rangda Village — The Place of Arrest
“When Guru Sahib reached the village of Rangda, He was addressing the sangat and awakening them against injustice. Meanwhile, informers of the village sent a message to the Morinda Kotwali. They falsely reported, ‘Guru Sahib is rebelling against the state.’
Upon receiving the report, the officials of that time arrested Guru Sahib and His companions in the village of Rangda and sent them to the Bassi Pathana jail.”

Four Months of Imprisonment — Messages, Meetings, and Constant Exchanges
“When Guru Sahib was imprisoned here, many Sikh disciples from the Sirhind region visited this jail for His darshan. They narrated the entire incident to Mata Gujri Ji upon reaching Sri Anandpur Sahib.
After thoughtful deliberation, Mata Ji sent messages to Delhi and Lahore stating, ‘When Guru Sahib Himself is peacefully travelling to Delhi, there is no justification for the arrest.’
A decree from the Lahore Court finally arrived, after which Guru Sahib was released.
Since messages had to travel between Delhi, Lahore, and Bassi Pathana, nearly four months were consumed in this exchange. For this reason, Guru Sahib remained in this jail for four months.”

Release from Jail and the Journey Thereafter
“After being freed from the jail, Guru Sahib travelled through Mukarampur, Bahadurgarh, and Jind before reaching Delhi. In their upcoming travels, Dr. Khoji Ji will take the sangat to all these sacred sites as well.”

Local Tradition — A Heritage Passed Down from Elders
“The history I have shared with you is what our elders told us, and what their elders told them. We serve this sacred place even today with that same oral tradition.”

Khanda Chowk — The Pride of the Khalsa, a Testimony of History
“We have established a Khanda at the central square, which you will see in the video. This jail was once in a highly dilapidated state. Through requests made to the government, much of it has now been restored. Preserving these ancient structures is our responsibility—and that of future generations as well.”

A Final Request
“I sincerely thank Dr. Khoji for coming here and bringing forth the history of this place. The effort of Team Khoj-Vichar to prepare detailed video clips of all sacred sites and present them to the sangat is indeed a great service.
My humble request is this—wherever the blessed feet of Guru Sahib have touched, do visit those places.”

The Final Link of the Oral Tradition — Dr. Khoji’s Earnest Appeal
Dr. Khoji said, “Sangat Ji, this was the traditional account of this sacred place. According to the oral tradition, the blessed Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji were arrested at Malkpur Rangda and imprisoned in the Bassi Pathana jail, but were released shortly thereafter.
Following this, Guru Sahib continued His journey towards Delhi; however, some research sources suggest that Guru Sahib proceeded towards Agra. If historical literature points towards Agra, then we must walk along the path of oral tradition and examine what both history and tradition state.”

Historical References — Malkpur Rangda or Agra?
Dr. Khoji continued, “If we examine the work of the renowned historian Giani Gian Singh Ji in ‘Patshahi Nauvin’ (page 18), he writes that ‘Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, after travelling through numerous villages from Sri Anandpur Sahib, reached Agra; and it was there that They were arrested.’

Equally significant is the testimony of the English scholar Max Arthur Macauliffe.
In Volume 3, Chapter 43, pages 322–330 of his celebrated work, he records that Guru Sahib passed through several villages—many of which we shall visit in our future journey—and upon reaching Agra, They were taken into custody there.

The distinguished poet-historian Kavi Santokh Singh Ji also supports this viewpoint. Several other scholars present this same conclusion.”

‘Guru Ki Sakhiyan’ — A Priceless Treasury of Oral Tradition
Dr. Khoji opened yet another authoritative reference:
“If we turn to the work ‘Guru Ki Sakhiyan’ (page 73), it states:

‘A Sikh Bhandari from Sirhind informed Mata Nanaki at Chak Nanki that Guru Ji, along with three Sikhs, were confined in the Bassi jail. The news that arrived from Sirhind soon spread in all directions. Previously no one was aware of this; but once the report reached, the entire region came to know that Guru Sahib had been arrested while travelling from Chak Nanki towards Delhi and imprisoned.’

The text further states:

‘Mata Nanaki Ji sent messengers to the residences of Diwan Dargah Mal and Chaupat Rai’s Sikh Bhandari to obtain complete information. It was learned that Guru Ji had been imprisoned in Bassi Pathana’s detention for more than three months, suffering great physical hardship. After three months, upon receiving the royal order from Delhi, Guru Ji was placed inside an iron cage and sent towards Delhi. They reached Delhi on Samvat 1732, Mangsar Vadi, Tredesi, on Tuesday.’”

The Arrest at Malkpur Rangda — The Second Narrative in ‘Guru Ki Sakhiyan’
Dr. Khoji cited yet another reference:
“Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji, the Master of the Palace, were arrested in the village of Malkpur Rangda, Pargana Ghanola, on the 12th day of Sawan by Nur Muhammad Khan, Mirza of the Ropar outpost. Along with Guru Ji, Diwan Mati Das and his son Hira Mal were seized; Dal Das and his son Mai Das of Balot were also captured. Guru Ji were kept in the detention centre of Bassi Pathana for four months, and later confined in the Delhi Kotwali for eight days.”

It is clearly recorded that Guru Sahib were arrested on the 12th and brought to Sirhind, and then confined in the Bassi Pathana jail for four months.”

A Historical Dilemma — A Matter Requiring Serious Research
With folded hands, Dr. Khoji made a solemn request:
“Sangat Ji, I humbly appeal—our Panthic institutions, Gurudwaras, management committees, and scholars must gather together to resolve this tangled question of history.
Was Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji truly arrested at Bassi Pathana (Malkpur Rangda) and taken directly to Delhi from here?
Or, while travelling village-to-village in Their mission of awakening the masses, were They arrested at Agra, as several historians assert?

Many prominent historians do not accept the second view.
Some scholars consider only the Bassi Pathana arrest to be historically authentic.
This subject urgently demands detailed research.”

Team Khoj-Vichar’s Testimony

“As we proceed along our 124-day route, our team bears firm testimony that Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib Ji were arrested at this very location.
This narrative is most often attributed to the historian Kesar Singh Chhibber, whose writings point in the same direction.
Though the matter is open to scholarly investigation, the oral tradition, local custom, and the physical evidence present at the site strongly support the arrest at Bassi Pathana.”

The Next Halt — The Sacred Place of Sadaur (Sadāvarte)

“Afterward, Guru Sahib spent one night at a place called Sadaavarte. Now we proceed further…
You have just had the darshan of Gurdwara Malkpur Rangda Sahib. This Gurdwara was once known as ‘Singh Sabha’. Entering through the gateway, we reached the sanctum, bowed at the feet of Guru Sahib, and reaffirmed our commitment to historical truth.”
