TheBattle of Samana was fought between theKhalsa under the leadership ofBanda Singh Bahadur and theMughal Government ofSamana in 1709. Following the battle,Banda Singh Bahadur shook the administration ofDelhi.[5]

Background

[edit]

Samana was a town where executioners Sayyed Jalal-ud-din, Shashal Beg and Bashal Beg lived. Sayyed Jalal-ud-din was responsible for the execution of SikhGuru Teg Bahadur, whereas, Shashal Beg and Bashal Beg were responsible for the execution of Guru Gobind Singh'stwochildren.[6][7]

Battle

[edit]

TheSikhs had 3,000 horsemen and 5,000 foot-soldiers.[8] The commander ofSamana had his town well defended.Banda advanced with speed during the night and reached the gates of Samana by the dawn of November 26. Once the gate-keepers were killed the whole army charged into the town. The executioners ofGuru Tegh Bahadur and hisgrandchildren were killed.[8] Thepeasantry of the neighborhood joined Banda Singh's army of 8,000, looking to wreak vengeance upon their expropriatingzamindars (feudal lords) and together with Banda and his army entered the town from all sides, killed thousands of the city's inhabitants and razed the town.[6][9][10][4] Nearly 10,000 Muslims are said to have been massacred in the town and a great amount of wealth was obtained.[11][12]

Aftermath

[edit]

After the successful expedition against Samana,Banda Singh Bahadur established the First Sikh State and appointedFateh Singh as the Governor ofSamana.[8][13] Later, some important towns on the way to Sirhind were plundered, especially as they could provide military assistance to Sirhind.[14][15] Banda also forcibly took supplies from the villagers and plunderedAmbala on the way.[16] The villages ofKunjpura,Ghuram and Thaska were also destroyed by the Sikhs, which were inhabited by MuslimRanghars, who committed atrocities against the general population.[17]
