Guru Tegh Bahadur sacrificed himself for the freedom of the people in order to uphold human rights. He fought against forced conversion and religious persecution for which he was beheaded on the orders of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in 1675. A fearless warrior and a spiritual leader, he dedicated his life in the service of people irrespective of their religion, gender, caste or race.
