Family history[edit | edit source]
Bhai Mahi Singh belonged to the Kamboj (joshan) landlord family of Sunam.[citation needed] He had taken Amrit from Guru Gobind Singh at the time of the Vaisakhi of 1699.[citation needed] He was the son of Bhai Bhikha Singh, grandson of Bhai Murari, great-grandson of Bhai Bhura, and great-great-grandson of Bhai Sukhia Mandan of Ladwa.[2]
Martyrdom of Bhai Mahi Singh[edit | edit source]
Bhai Mahi Singh later died, a martyr to the Sikh cause, while fighting valiantly at the Battle of Chappar Chiri under the standard of Banda Bahadur, twenty kilometres from Sirhind on May 12, 1710 AD.[citation needed] Another source states he was martyred on 9 September 1712 by being wrapped in cotton and being burnt to death in Samba alongside his brother, Bhai Dargahi Singh.[2]
