Famous Sikh warriors liberated Women from Afghans

In 1653, the circumstances surrounding our great Ancestor Bhai Nand Lal ji Goya's journey from Ghazni to Multan was deeply rooted in a tale of unfulfilled expectations. I am the 9th generations removed from Bhai Nand Lal Goya. Despite his exceptional qualifications and profound knowledge, Bhai Nand Lal found himself disillusioned. His father, Diwan Chhaju Mal, had served as Mir Munshi(Prime Minister) to the Governor, but upon his passing, the promise of inheriting this prestigious position was not realized.

Highly learned and qualified, Bhai Nand Lal ji Goya had rightfully anticipated receiving the honor of his father's role. However, the Governor's failure to recognize his worth and extend this opportunity left Bhai Nand Lal feeling not only frustrated but also unappreciated. Disheartened by this betrayal of expectations, the lack of acknowledgment for his abilities and the governance character, he made the difficult choice to uproot his life and migrate to Multan, seeking a fresh start where his talents would be recognized and valued. This decision would shape the course of his life and contribute to his legacy as a figure of resilience and determination.

This is a picture of Ghazni city of Afghanistan where Hasina-e-Hind fair used to be held, from 1720 to 1800 much later when Bhai Nand Lal’s family had left Ghazni. In those days, Hasina-E-Hind fair was held every year in Ghazni city where Mughals from different countries used to buy and sell beautiful girls and take them to their homes. Used to make Rakhails, to show off their wealth, they served them to their friends, you will be surprised to know that these girls were none other than Mughals when India was looted and with valuables they also took young girls by force There were, but when the information about this was received by the warriors like Sardar Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, Sardar jassa Singh Ramgarhia, Sardar Chadhat Singh, Sardar Baghel Singh and Sardar Hari Singh, they spent their nights on horse saddles and looted the markets of Ghazni. After freed from Mughals, they were brought to their homes with dignity and even married them, many youngsters would not have known about these Sikh warriors...

Commander Hari Singh Nalwa

I digged out the sketch of Hari Singh Nalwa and appropriately inserted in the blog. His look is frightful and ferocious. But above all they existed with a character instilled  with vigor and humanity sympathetic by no other but tenth Guru Sh Gobind Singh.

I am also told that some of them were pregnant and still they welcomed them in their homes and raised their kids too. This para added as one of my friends encourages me to elaborate on this topic.
