Bhai Sati Das
BHAI SATI DAS (d. 15 November 1675), the martyr, was the younger brother of Diwan Mati Das. According to Bhatt Vahl Talauda he served Guru Tegh Bahadur as a cook. He was, under imperial warrant, detained along with the Guru at Dhamtan, as the latter was travelling to the eastern parts in 1665. He was again in attendance upon the Guru when, in 1675, he left Anandpur resolved to court martyrdom along with Guru Tegh Bahadur, as he confronted Aurangzeb over his policy of forcing non-muslims to convert to Islam or face death. The Guru and his companions were arrested on the way and taken to Delhi. Like his brother Mati Das, Sati Das refused to abandon his faith and was tortured to death. Wrapped up in cotton wool, he was set afire and roasted alive. This happened on 15 November 1675, a few days after Bhai Mati Das was executed.
