The khanda ਖੰਡਾ is the symbol of the Sikh faith, that attained its current form around the first decade of the 20th century
It is made up of three symbols:
- A double-edged khanda (sword) in the centre
- A chakkar (circular throwing weapon)
- Two single-edged swords, or kirpan, crossed at the bottom, which sit on either side of the khanda and chakkar. They represent the dual characteristics of Miri-Piri, indicating the integration of both spiritual and temporal sovereignty together and not treating them as two separate and distinct entities.
Sikh Fight Against Tyranny and Oppression
The Sikhs faced religious persecution during the Mughal Empire rule. Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Guru, was arrested and executed by Mughal Emperor Jahangir in 1606. The following Guru, Guru Hargobind formally militarized the Sikhs and emphasized the complementary nature of the temporal power and spiritual power. In 1675, Guru Tegh Bahadur, the ninth Guru of the Sikhs and the father of Guru Gobind Singh was executed by the Islamic emperor Aurangzeb for resisting religious persecution of non-Muslims, and for refusing to convert to Islam.
Before his death, Guru Gobind Singh created and initiated the Khalsa as a warrior with a duty to protect the innocent from any form of religious persecution.
The special group of initiated warrior Sikhs called Khalsa is an army of saint soldiers whose prime duty is to fight the injustice and the unjust power and raised hopes of equality for all and freedom from tyrannical rulers of the time. A Khalsa is enjoined, to be honest, treat everyone as equal, meditate on God, maintain his fidelity, resist tyranny and religious persecution of oneself and other - to fight in defense of righteousness.
