Re Discovering the Hero of Sikh History Bhai Jiwan Singh Bhai Jaita

Abstract

History is the study of the human past as it is described in written documents left behind by humans. The past, with all of its complicated choices and events, participants dead and history told, is what the general public perceives to be the immutable bed rock on which historians and archaeologists stand. But as purveyors of the past, historian recognize that the bedrock is really quicksand the bits of each story are yet untold, and that what has been told is colored by the conditions of today. While not untrue to say that History is the study of the past, when it happened and how it happened. Indian history shows us the typical cast systems in the society. newlineFrom ancient period, in 15th and 16th century the caste system got dominance in Punjab. The system of castism also affected the Economical, Political, Social, religion system of the Punjab. This system was mainly divided into four casts these were Brahmins, Kashatriyas, Vaish, and Shudraas. In this caste system Brahmins considered themselves the superior. The whole structure of society depended on the Brahmins. newlineI took my topic for search work in history, about the oblivion hero and most trustworthy general of Guru Gobind Singh; named Bhai Jaita also known as Bhai Jiwan Singh Rangretta. I tried to make an attempt to move forward his great untold achievements honorable place and reward which he was really deserved in the Sikh history. Due to the castism Bhai Jaita did not get that honor which he was really deserved. Bhai Jaita was belonged to the Shudraa caste. The whole dynasty of Bhai Jaita lived their whole life in service of Sikh Gurus and according to the teachings of Gurus. newlineWhen Guru Tegh Bahadur got martyred in Chandni Chownk Delhi, Bhai Jaita took the severed head of ninth Guru without taking any fear of Aurangzeb s army and reached to Guru Gobind Singh at Anandpur. newline newline
