Explanation

Guru Arjun Dev, the 5th Sikh Guru, was martyred in 1606 during the reign of Emperor Jahangir. He was executed on charges of treason and religious blasphemy after refusing to remove references to Muslim prophets from the Sikh scripture. His martyrdom is a watershed moment in Sikh history that marked the beginning of armed resistance against Mughal oppression. Jahangir was offended by the Guru's growing influence and support for Prince Khusrau's rebellion.
