Banda Singh Bahadur

Bandai Sikhs or Bandai Khalsa, is the name given to the followers of Banda Singh Bahadur (1670 - 1716), who regarded Banda Singh not only as a great military leader but also as the eleventh Guru of the Sikhs. These originated around 1712. (the Eleventh Nanak) who followed Guru Gobind Singh in an unbroken line of spiritual succession. However, the majority of Sikhs opposed their view and ultimately they were expelled from the Panth by the Tatt Khalsa in 1721. A small number of Bandai Sikhs still exist, they revere the Guru Granth Sahib as their Scripture and most of them undergo the Khalsa initiatory rites, but they still hold to their belief that Banda Singh Bahadur was the eleventh Guru. The common Sikh belief is that the line of human Sikh Gurus ended with Guru Gobind Singh, the Tenth Master.

They share the common Sikh belief that Banda Singh Bahadur was sent to punjab by Guru Gobind Singh, to punish Wazir Khan and free Punjab from the yoke of Mughal Rule. However he soon started occupying areas, shook hands with the Hill Rulers and even began to hold a Darbar, acting like a Guru in later stages. Banda distorted the mission of the Khalsa neglecting the Sant part of the Sant-Sepahi tradition, established by Guru Gobind Singh at Anandpur Sahib.

Mata Sundri, who was then living at Delhi, issued a hukamnama to capture Banda and his followers, because they were going against the will of Guru Gobind Singh. Baba Binod Singh, one of 5 sikhs sent to accompany Banda, left Banda Singh's party and joined the Tatt Khalsa (Mata Sundri's side). When he was in the fort at Gurdas Nanagal, all Tatt Khalsa (Binod Singh, Kahn Singh etc. who were 5 Pyaras sent by Gobind Singh from Nanded with banda) left the fort.

There are many confusing things concerning Banda's Rule.

  • Why did he surrender to the Mughals, who had besieged him and allow himself and his followers to be tortured and killed by the government acc. to their shariah? Khalsa never surrendered, either escape or fight against tyranny, but he surrendered.
  • From where Bandai Khalsa Emerge? From where this term came into exoistence? was he pretending as guru?
  • Where did the fateh Darshan slogan come from? even old hukamnamas available which contains term Fateh Darshan.
  • If Government was really against Banda Singh, Why was Mata Sundri never attacked during her residence in Delhi? Why mata Sundri gave hukamnama against bandai khalsa
  • Why didn't she and the Tatt Khalsa try to save Banda and bandai khalsas?
  • Although hill rulers were potential enemy of khalsa, why he shaked his hands with them?

Some says Banda Singh Bahadur never initiated any bandai sikhs they even added that Gobind Singh said banda singh to rule punjab. So his history is quite confusing.
