[QUOTE="Neutral Singh, post: 7057, member: 2"] After leaving Chamkaur, Guruji Gobind Singh moved from place to place, looking for safety. Soon he reached the Machhiwara forest about 22 miles from Ludhiana. Guruji wandered barefoot in the forest without any food, rest or sleep for many days. This had rendered him physically very weak and his feet had developed blisters. After the Battle of Chamkaur, it dawned upon Khawaja Mardud of Chamkaur that the head bearing the plume(Kalgi) did not appear to be that of the Guruji. Therefore he ordered Wazir Khan to search the whole area to find the Guruji who apparently had slipped away again. Wazir Khan sent a number of army contingents in all directions to apprehend Guruji. Meanwhile, Guruji who was sleeping in the forest of Machhiwara was awakened by three of his followers - Daya Singh, Dharam Singh and Man Singh, who had got separated at Chamkaur while escaping. Since Guruji was still tired, he spent the whole day resting along with his three Sikhs. The next day, Guruji and his three companions proceeded towards a nearby village. On the way, they met two Pathans - Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan, who were horse traders and had lived for sometime in Anandpur. They told him that it was not safe to wander through the countryside for the Imperial Army was pursuing him. They both desired to carry him to safety. During this period, Guruji also met an old woman named Gurdevi who had spun some cloth for Guruji which she presented to him. Since the cloth was dyed blue, Guruji then dressed himself in the blue garb of a Mohammedan fakir to escape the dragnet which had been cast for him. He was then carried on a cot by Ghani Khan, Nabi Khan, Man Singh and Dharam Singh while Daya Singh waved the chaur. The party had not gone too far when it accidentally met a detachment of the Imperial Army searching for Guru Gobind Singh. When the captain of the detachment enquired the identity of the person being carried with such respect Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan told the commander that he was 'Uchch ka Pir' who was visiting his followers. After this narrow escape Guruji with his party reached Kaner village. Since the danger of the Imperial Army was no longer felt Guruji wanted to send back Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan. However, both of them helped carried Guruji on to Hehar village. Here Guruji Gobind Singh permitted Ghani Khan and Nabi Khan to return to Machhiwara but not before he gave them a pair of gold bracelets and a hukamnama in which all Sikhs were directed to help the two Pathans since they had rendered great service to Guruji. From Hehar, Guruji and his three Sikhs moved on and reached Alamgir village where Guruji met Nagahia Singh, brother of Bhai Mani Singh. Nagahia Singh offered Guruji a beautiful horse after which the Guruji and his party reached Dina. When the news of Guruji's arrival at Dina spread, contingents of Sikhs started visiting him and bringing offerings. Once again like at Anandpur, Sikhs started gathering under his command. Guruji again started training his troops and collected arms for any future conflict. Soon Guruji had a jatha (sizeable contingent) of Sikhs under his command. At Dina, Guru Gobind Singh also wrote his famous Zafarnama (letter of Victory) to Emperor Aurangzeb, in which he accused Subedars of Lahore and Sirhind of unnecessarily troubling him and his Sikhs due to which he was forced to take to the sword for self-defence. Guruji also accused the Emperor of breaking his oath when Guruji and his Sikhs vacated Anandpur. He also told the Aurangzeb that he was not the leader of his religion and severely criticized him for his policy of universal persecution. Guruji then proceeded to advise him to forsake his policy of troubling the innocent for their religious beliefs. Meanwhile, Guruji left Dina and passed through Jhidi, Bhadaur, Bhagta, Patto, Jaito, Lumbhwali, Malooke-da-kot and reached Kot Kapura. By now there were sufficient troops under his command. Soon intelligence reached Guruji that the Imperial Army was again in hot pursuit. Hearing this Guruji requested the Choudhary of Kot Kapura to allow him the use of his fortress for self-defense, but the Choudhary, fearing retaliation of the Imperial Army, refused to help. [/QUOTE]
