[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 108891, member: 189"] A few relevant points. Imho, the SIKHS at that time became "divided".(whats new about that ??) The MUGHALS managed to "convince" a large number of Sikhs that Banda Singh was not quite right. The majority of these Sarrkariah Sikhs were the ones called the Tatt Khalsa. Later onin time it was to become a "technical offense" ( hence the word Tankhaiyah meaning minor offender under the SRM is supposedly arrived at from the word SALARIED..otherwise Govt Employee ). Its no secret that Sikhs were employed by the Govt of the day..even Guru nanak ji was at one time of His Life a Govt Servant as a Store Keeper..so many Sikhs continued in Govt service - but later on the Mughals began to catch even these law abiding sikhs to be torutred and killed for being Sikhs..and thats when the Sikhs began to discourage govt service and called these Tankhaiyahs..who had to stand up in snagat..and be acorded a mild "punishment" of sorts before they could address the sikh jathas/sarbatt khalsa etc. The most prominent sarkari sikhs to be killed were the father and son duo subegh singh and shahbaz singh who were placed on the reversing gears charkhrree and murdered). Anyway suffice it to say that the Govt of the day managed to get some Sikhs to their side agaisnt Banda Singh..a large enough rift that was then settled amicably by Bhai mani Singh at Darbar sahib...but looks like it didnt heal the wounds well enough.
