The two younger sons of the tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, Baba Zorawar Singh (age 9) and Baba Fateh Singh (age 5) were executed by then governor, Wazir Khan, for their refusal to convert to Islam. Gurudwara Sri Fatehgarh Sahib is established at that place to commemorate them. Banda Singh Bahadur, in 1710, attacked and destroyed Sirhind and killed Wazir Khan in retribution for the executions of the Zorawar and Fateh Singh. The Sikhs then occupied Sirhind and appointed Bhai Baj Singh Ji to be the new governor.
