Late Mughal-Sikh Wars

The Battle of Sarsa was fought between the Khalsa and the Mughal Empire. The battle ended with the Sikhs being defeated while trying to cross the Sarsa river.

Guru's family got separated and Bhai Mani Singh, along with other Sikhs, took Mata Sundri and Mata Sahib Kaur to Delhi, whereas Guru Gobind Singh, Panj Piare, Sahibzada Ajit Singh, Sahibzada Jujhar Singh and a handful of Sikh warriors went to Chamkaur for the last stand.

Notes

"Despite promising Guru Gobind Singh safe passage after the siege of Anandpur, Mughal General Wazir Khan pursued the survivors. At Shahi Tibbi, Jiwan Singh was killed in a rear- guard action. The Sikhs were then destroyed while crossing the Sarsa, with the Guru’s two younger sons captured and later murdered. Gobind was defeated next day at Chamkaur (21 December 1704)."
