<p class="C1">&#65279JUJH&#256R SI&#7748GH, S&#256HIBZ&#256D&#256 (1691-1705), the second son of Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh, was born to M&#257t&#257 J&#299toj&#299 &#257t Anandpur on l4 March 1691. Like his elder brother, Aj&#299t Si&#7749gh, he started training in the fighting skills as soon as he started learning the religious texts. In 1699, when he was eight years old, he received the rites of <u>Kh</u>&#257ls&#257 initiation. By the time it became necessary to leave Anandpur under the pressure of a besieging host in December 1705, Jujh&#257r Si&#7749gh, nearing the completion of his fifteenth year, was an experienced young warrior, strong and fearless. He was one of the band that successfully waded through the flooded Sars&#257 rivulet on horseback and made good their way to Chamkaur by nightfall on 6 December 1705, with the adversary in hot pursuit. With little respite during the night, he participated in the next day's battle warding off assault after assault upon the <i>ga&#7771h&#299</i>, the fortified house in which Gur&#363 Gobind Si&#7749gh had, along with his 40 Sikhs and two sons, taken shelter. As they ran out of ammunition and arrows, Sikhs inside split themselves into batches of five each who would go out one after the other to engage the besiegers in hand-to-hand combat. Jujh&#257r Si&#7749gh led the last sally towards the end of the day (7 December 1705), and laid down his life fighting near the place where he had earlier seen his elder brother fall. Gurdw&#257r&#257 Qatalga&#7771h in Chamkaur S&#257hib now marks the site.</p>
