This list includes all battles fought by the tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh.
Following the execution of Guru Tegh Bahadur, tensions rose between the Mughals and the Sikhs.[1] Both Mughal administration and Aurangzeb's army had an active interest in the Guru. The Mughal emperor issued an order to exterminate Guru Gobind Singh and his family.[2]
Guru Gobind believed in something called Dharma Yudh (war in defence of righteousness), something that is fought as a last resort, neither out of a wish for revenge nor for greed nor for any destructive goals.[3] To him, one must be prepared to die to stop tyranny, end persecution, and to defend one's own religious values. He led 14 major battles and 8 minor battles with these objectives, but never took captives nor damaged anyone's place of worship.[3]
