Chamkaura Jatt
Meeting Chamkauriye Jat with Guru Sahib ( Another Guru-Maria Gangu ) He was a Namberdar of ( village Majre ) previous name of Village Chamkaur Sahib. He belongs to Jatt community, and his betrayal to GURU GOBIND SINGH JI is less known. And many do not accept it. But Court Poets ( Darbari Kavi ) of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, Mention this betrayal. Koer Singh Kalal And Senapati mention all this in their hand written verses and manuscripts.[1]
According to Guru Gobind Singh Sahib 's court poet Senapati, Koer Singh Kalal. Naranjan Aarfi Ji also mention this all in his book, and mentioned every detail and research on this subject matter.
Sikh historians do not hold their breath when they divide Gangu, Wajeeda and Chandu because Gangu took the younger Sahibzade and Mata Gujri to their village Saheri and ruled over them was handed over to Wajide had killed the head-eating children of Guru Sahib by hanging all the principles and prema of Islam and Chandu had the main role in making Guru Arjan Sahib a martyr. But why Chamkaure Jat was not called Dhrigkar-Dhrigkar lakhs of times who destroyed Guru Sahib's Sarbans behind kicks. Gangu was a victim of Brahmanical rites, but Chamkaura Jat was a 'Sudra', the community which Guru Sahib was responsible for giving honor to. But look at what this ungrateful Jat did to stop the Guru-was. When Guru Sahib arrived in a garden in Chamkaur, Chamkaure Jat, who was also the village's numberdar, who eats and drinks well and was influential in the area, got the news of Guru Sahib's arrival. He knew that Guru Sahib was a fugitive from the government.[2]
Chamkaura Jatt Betrayal to GURU GOBIND SINGH JI ( Incident )
The government had laid siege to Anandgarh by spending lakhs of rupees, so if he somehow captures Guru Sahib, his task will be far greater than that of Wajeeda and his companions and the entire military power of Baidhar, because Wajeeda is still Even Guru Sahib did not succeed in capturing or capturing him alive. If he succeeds in doing this, the emperor may give him the province of Kitun. With these feelings, this number went to Guru Sahib and after much flattery, he persuaded Guru Sahib to rest in his fortress. When Guru Sahib and his companions started resting in the fort, he killed Jindra outside and informed the government. The government surrounded the fort by bringing all the army. As a result, both the great Sahibzades of Guru Sahib were martyred here, many of Guru Sahib's beloved Singhs were also martyred. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib broke through the fort and left. If Guru Sahib was captured here alive, his death would have been like Baba Banda Singh. Guru Sahib had gone far away from the reach of the enemy. If this Nambardar had not cheated and betrayed Guru Sahib, then Guru Sahib's great sons would never have been martyred. Then Vajide had to think a hundred times before killing even the younger Sahibzades. Because he always had to fear Guru Sahib's immense military power. Even Mata Gujri would never have made it to the end and in that situation Guru Sahib would have tried to occupy Anandgarh fort again. They might not even have gone south and the attack of the Pathan sons Gul Khan and Ataullah Khan would not have come. When Guru Sahib escaped from Garhi Chamkaure and later Chamkaur and Wajide came to know that Guru Sahib was consolidating power at Talwandi Sabo which Aurangzeb was also worried about. They were of the opinion that if Aurangzeb asked Guru Sahib for help against the Mahrattas, then Guru Sahib would have to ask both of them as cover and then the condition of both of them would surely be like that of Chandu. Therefore, these two conspired and put the Pathan sons behind the Guru Sahib, so that this Guru Sahib, as soon as he got a chance.

Court Poet Senapati
Guru Sahib's court poet Senapati describes the deceit, hypocrisy and treachery of this Jat-zamindar as follows:
"ਬਾਗ ਦੇਖਿ ਬੈਠੇ ਤਰਾਂ ਨਿਕਟਿ ਗਾਂਵ ਚਮਕੌਰ ॥੪॥੪੭੩॥
ਖਬਰ ਸੁਨੀ ਜਿਮੀਦਾਰ ਨੇ ਮਧ ਬਸੰ ਚਮਕੌਰ।

Poet Koer Singh Kalal
Poet Koer Singh Kalal tells the story of this Jat with a slight difference. He believes this tradition to be correct that Aurangzeb himself took an oath on the Qur'an to make the Guru Sahib leave the Anandpur Fort, pasted the letter on the Qur'an scroll and sent the letter to the royal court hand, promising that he would leave the Anandpur Fort. . They will not be abused. He apologized for the insult done to Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib and wrote to Guru Sahib to come to Chamkaur. There he wants to have a special talk with them. According to the assurance given in this letter, Guru Sahib reached the fort of Chamkaur. On the other hand, Auranjeb also wrote a letter to Chamkaur Nambardar and ordered him that when Guru Sahib comes to Garhi-Chamkaur, he should be taken prisoner and informed to the government. This is why Nambardar did this trick with Guru Sahib. At first he took Guru Sahib to his stronghold but then this traitor gave the news of Guru Sahib to the government. As a result, the fort came under siege. The story is as follows in the words of Kavi Koer Singh:
"ਬਾਗ ਦੇਖ ਉਤਰੇ ਤਹਾਂ, ਨਿਕਟ ਗ੍ਰਾਮ ਚਮਕੌਰ ॥੬॥੫੧॥ ਖ਼ਬਰ ਸੁਨੀ ਜਿਮੀਦਾਰ ਸੁ ਜਾਨੋ। ਮਧ ਚਮਕੌਰ ਬਸਤ ਜਹ ਥਾਨੇ। ਸੁਨਤ ਬਚਨ ਤਤ ਖਿਨ ਵਹਿ ਆਯੋ। ਦਯਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਤਬ ਐਸ ਜਤਾਯੋ ॥੫੨॥ ਕਰ ਜੋੜੇ ਬਹੁ ਬਿਨਤੀ ਉਚਾਰੀ। ਚਲੋ ਮਧਿ ਚਮਕੌਰ ਸੁਧਾਰੀ। ਤਬ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਅਸਵਾਰ ਸੁ ਭਏ। ਮਨ ਮੈ ਬਾਤ ਲਖਤ ਵਹੁ ਧਏ। ॥੫੩॥ ਬਸੇ ਆਨ ਤਾ ਠੋਰ ਸੁਜਾਨਾ। ਤਿਨ ਮੂਰਖ ਜਿਮੀਦਾਰ ਸੁ ਜਾਨਾ) ਕਰ ਕੇ ਮਤੋਂ ਲਿਖੀ ਤਿਨ ਪਾਤੀ। ਪਠੱਟੀ ਭੀਮ ਚੰਦ ਤੇ ਤਾਤੀ ॥੫੪॥ ਪੁਨਰ ਸਿਰੰਦ ਪਠਯੋ ਅਸਵਾਰਾ। ਜਹਾ ਫੌਜ ਤੁਰਕਨ ਕੀ ਚਾਰਾ। ਦੇ ਚਾਹਤ ਬੇ ਮਗ ਅਗ ਜੈਸੇ। ਤਿਨ ਕੀਨਾ ਥਾ ਛਲ ਬਿਧਿ ਠੇਸੇ ॥੫॥ ਜੇ ਅਉਰੰਗ ਪਾਰੀ ਧੀ ਭੇਜੀ। ਪੁਰਬ ਕਹੀ ਤਾਹਿ ਅਸ ਭੇਜੀ। ਗੁਰੂ ਜੂ। ਤੁਮ ਹਮ ਮੈ ਸੁ ਕੁਰਾਨਾ। ਤੁਮ ਆਵੋ ਚਮਕੌਰ ਪ੍ਰਮਾਨਾ ॥੫੬॥ ਮੈਂ ਮਿਲ ਹੋ ਤੁਮ ਸੋ ਤਹਿ ਆਈ। ਚੁਕ ਖਿਮਾਵੇਗੋ ਗੁਰ ਸਾਈ। ਨੋਮ ਗੁਰੂ ਕੀ ਬਾਤ ਜੋ ਹੋਈ । ਸੋ ਅਬ ਖਿਮਾ ਕੀਜੀਐ ਸੋਈ ॥੫੭॥ ਯਾ ਪ੍ਰਕਾਰ ਗੁਰ ਸੋ ਛਲ ਕੀਨਾ। ਚਲਤੀ ਬੇਰ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਚ ਕੀਨਾ। "ਯਾ ਤੁਰਕਨ ਕੋ ਝੂਠਾ ਕਰਕੈ । ਮਾਰਹਿਰੀ ਇਤ ਉਤ ਧਰ ਤਰ ਕੈ" ॥੫੮॥ ਉਤ ਅਉਰੰਗ ਲਿਖਾ ਚਮਕੋਰਾ। "ਜਬ ਗੁਰੂ ਆਵੈ ਬੰਧਨ ਨੋਰਾ।" ਤਾ ਕਰ ਜ਼ਿਮੀਦਾਰ ਏ ਕੀਨਾ। ਲਿਖਿਯੋ ਜਹਾਂ ਕਟਕ ਅਤਿ ਚੀਨਾ॥੧੯॥ ਤਹਿ ਦਹਿ ਲਾਖ ਤੁਰਕ ਬੇ ਭਾਰੇ। ਖੁਆਜ ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਆਇ ਅਪਾਰੇ । ਇਤ ਉਨ ਕੋ ਗੁਰ ਅੰਦਰ ਬਾਰਾ। ਪੁਰ ਦੁਆਰਨ ਕੇ ਮਾਰ ਕਿਵਾਰਾ ॥੬੦॥ ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰ ਕਹਯੋ "ਕਾਹਿ ਹਿਤ ਮਾਰੇ ?" ਕਹਾ, 'ਜੀ' ਬੈਰਿਨ ਕੇ ਗਨ ਬਾਰੇ। ਤਾ ਕਰ ਬਾਤ ਸੁ ਮੈਂ ਇਹ ਕੀਨੀ। ਤਬ ਗੁਰ ਸੰਗ ਸਿੰਘ ਕਿਛੁ ਚੀਨੀ ॥੬੧॥"

Clarification
(Many writers have written that Aurangzeb had written to meet Guru Sahib, but poet Quir Singh writes that Aurangzeb had asked Guru Sahib to come and meet him at Chamkaur.)
It is clear from the above statement of the poet Quir Singh that not only Mughal rule, hill kings and Brahmanism (Drijvad) were against Guru Sahib, but also big Jat-zamindars were strong opponents of Guru Sahib and they wanted Guru Sahib to die. The trap should be cut soon so that they can continue to enjoy the rich color of their zamindaria, otherwise Guru Sahib has to take away everything from them one day or the other by strangling the men of small castes. That is why these people used to help the government against Guru Sahib. This Jat begged the Guru Sahib in his desire for a big reward from his master and first brought him to his fort and then hemmed the fort from the outside and besieged it from the forces of Vajide and the Paharis.
I don't think Aurangzeb's letter writing is right. If indeed such a letter had been written by Aurangzeb, then Guru Sahib would not have thrown his valuable goods and treasure into the river, nor would anyone have dared to attack Guru Sahib's well. But the result of the attack was that Guru Sahib had to consider the letter as a fraud. Then they could not come to Chamkore to cheat one after another. Apart from this, if the matter of the letter was correct, then Aurangzeb would have told Wajeeda earlier that Guru Sahib would run away and go to the fort of Chamkaur. There was no need to surround them and capture them, in this situation there was no need to write letters to the Chamkoro Nambardar and tell the government. It is possible to write a letter, but it is clear that this Jat has achieved such a big reward
done for Many times many traitorous people for their own personal interests, country, work, religion. They used to sell even Iman and Gerat. After all, Gangu had betrayed the small Sahibzades for the sake of big status and big reward, and Pahada Singh Brar had done the same thing and secured the kingdom of Faridkot.
