His parents were Mata Jito Ji and his Father was the 10 Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji. Baba Jujhar Singh Ji was also the second son of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji. He was only 14 when he met his martyrdom after watching his brother's death.[3]
Legacy
Sikh hagiographer, Rattan Singh Bhangu, compared Jujhar Singh's sacrifice at the Battle of Chamkaur to the death of Abhimanyu in the Mahabharata epic, as both fought and died defending their father.[3] He writes Jujhar Singh as thinking the following whilst engaging the Mughal forces in battle: "How can a son live while his father confronts death in battle?"[3]
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid homage to the Chaar Sahibazde on various occasions, particularly during the celebration of their bravery and sacrifice on Veer Bal Diwas (Day of Brave Children). Veer Bal Diwas is observed in honour of the Chaar Sahibzaade, who are remembered greatly amongst Sikhs across the globe.[4]
