English and grammar

Bhai Sahib Lucky ji, It seems that answers to the many questions you pose are obvious.

I have read accounts of the foreigners who observed the events at the time. They record that Banda himself for his arrest and torture, the result of his hubris, of taking things way beyond the mission that Guru Gobind Singh had intended.

Like Aurangzeb, he had apparently proved the old saying that power corrupts and that wanton killing (as your page records) gives rise to hate, anger and vengeance. If I remember correctly, there was never any attempts to wipe the Sikhs out during the days of the Gurus. When Guru Arjan was murdered - n one sent troops to destroy Amritsar or set bounties on Sikh heads (i.e. no one tried to wipe the Sikh religion out.)

Even after the sacking of Amritsar and the death of his mother, father and sons, Guru Gobind Singh never sought revenge, and indeed helped Aurangzeb's son to gain his throne. As someone here once said - he never fought a war to build an earthly kingdom or gain an empire. He saw the need of defense, but violence to control others was not his mission.
