Dal Khalsa: The Formidable Sikh Army of the 18th Century
The Dal Khalsa was formed during the 18th century as a strong military group to protect the Sikh community. This was a time when Sikhs faced intense political and religious persecution, particularly under the Mughal Empire. The main goal of the Dal Khalsa was to defend the Sikh way of life, protect their lands, and resist the oppression they were subjected to. The formation of this group marked the beginning of a new chapter in Sikh history, where Sikhs united for their common cause of survival and self-determination.
The Dal Khalsa not only focused on military strength but also represented the values of justice, equality, and freedom, which are central to Sikhism. During a period of great difficulty, the Dal Khalsa became a symbol of resilience and pride for Sikhs. This army was essential in protecting Sikh interests and maintaining the community's identity against external threats.
