There is remarkable history of the family of Gursikhs who gave 29 Shaheeds to the Guru Khalsa Panth.

This is the family of none other than Bhai Mani Ram (not Bhai Mani Singh Chauhan

Confusion Related Bhai Mani Singh== In Sikh History there are FOUR Bhai mani Singhs mentioned:-

1. Bhai Mani Singh Kambojh

2. Bhai Mani Singh Dullat

3. Bhai Mani Singh Kanha Kacchha

4. Bhai Mani Singh Alipur.

Now which of these is the Bhai mani Singh Shaheed ?

Lets take them one by one to arrive at the truth.

1. Bhai Mani Singh Kambojh - This man is mentioned by Kesar Singh Chhibbar..but this Mani Singh is not mentioned to have served at Harimandir Sahib Amrtisar as Granthi.

2. Bhai mani Singh Dullatt - According to Gyani Gyan Singh this Mani Singh was the son of Jatt Dulatt and he attained shaheedee in 1795 - he used to live as a fakir....but this man is not mentioned as Band band Katiya....and this martyrdom happened in 1791. Acc. To Sikh Phulwari 2005 it is also claimed that he was a labana sikh.

3. Bhai mani Singh Kanha Kachha - Is mentioned only by Bhai Veer Singh ball sathiala. In his book "Singh sagar" written in 1884. He is mistaken because the grandsons of Bhai mani Singh Alipur were settled in Kanha Kchha later and he made the wrong assumption that Bhai mani Singh must have been from kanha kachha.

4. Bhai mani Singh Alipur - His ancestors came from Khandosh and settled in nahan Himachal Pardesh....this event is mentioned in the Vahee records of Taluedeh in 1490 Bhatt records as stated:

a) Radha Mal's grandson jagna, great grandson beera ka chander Bharadawasi gotra.....etc etc. Thus it is clear that this family moved from Nahan to Alipur around 1582-1600 bikrmi. These facts are also mentioned by Bhatt Bohith who is the son of Bhatt Keerat whose bani is in the Guru Granth Sahib Jee.

Bhai mani Singh was born in the family bharchwaji parmar Rajputs in the house of bullu son of mai dass and his mother was mata madhuri bani in the year 1644 on March 10th ( 1701 Bikrimi) These people were the descendants of Rajputs of Madhya Pardesh and descendats of Raja Sandal. In the 9th generation of Raja sandal was Mula. One of whose 14 sons was Bhai Balu Ram who was Bhai Mani Singh ji's father.

From Bhai Balu Ram begins the RAIN of SHAHEEDS.....mai dass had 12 sons...one Amar Chand dies in infancy...BUT the remaining 11 were shaheeds for the Guru Sahibs...

  • 1. Bhai Jetha Singh 11-10-1711 at Alowaal Battle
  • 2. Bhai Dyal dass - 11-11- 1675 Boiled Alive in front of Guru Teg bahadur sahib Jee at delhi
  • 3. Bhai Mani Singh - Unknown
  • 4. Bhai Daan Singh 7-12-1705 at Chamkaur Battle
  • 5. Bhai Maan Singh 3-4-1800 Chitor Garh battle
  • 6. Bhai Roop Singh 11-10-1711 Alowaal battle
  • 7. Bhai Jagat singh 24-6-1734 Lahore
  • 8. Bhai Sohan Chand 20-3- 1691 Battle of Nadon
  • 9. Bhai Lahina Singh20-2-1696 Guler Battle
  • 10. Bhai rai Singh 3-12-1705 Battle of Mukatsar _ Chali mukteh

Sons Of Bhai Mani SIngh

7. Bhai Gurbaksh Singh 24-6-1734 Lahore

The remaining three sons were Bahi desa Singh (writer of Rehtnama), Bhai Bhagwan Singh and Bhai Balram Singh.

Grandsons Shaheed

The sons of these three were also shaheeds:

1. Bhai Chitar Singh - had three sosn shsheed -

a) Bhai keshe Singh 28-12-1811 at Bilaspur battle

b) Bhai Saina Singh 22-6-1713 at Sadhora battle

c) Bahi Hatthu Singh 27-3-1758 Sarhind battle

d) Bhai Garja Singh joined the Nirmalas. ( not shaeed)

=Bhai Bachittar Singh ( who fought the Elkephant at Anandpur Sahib ) had two sons:

1. Bhai Sangarm Singh 13-5-1710 at battle of Chapar Cheri Ropar 2. Bhai ram Singh 9-6-1716 at Delhi

Bhai Udey Singh' sons:

1. Bhai Mehbob Singh 13-5-1710 at Chapar Cheri Ropar 2. Bhai fateh Singh also at Chapar Cheri Ropar 3. Bhai Albel Singh 22-6-1713 at Sadhoura Battle 4. Bhai mehr Singh also at Sadhaura Battle 5. Bhai Bagh singh 28-12-1711 at Bilaspur Battle.

Thus Bhai ballhu, 11 grandsons, Bhai mani Singh and his seven sons and 10 grandsons......make a GRAND TOTAL of 29 SHAHEEDS for the Guru Khalsa panth...MUCH MUCH more than any other family combined.
