Mai Bhago
Mai Bhago led the band of Sikh deserters back to defend the Guru. She was a brave warrior who fought valiantly, impressing everyone with her skills and leadership. The Guru welcomed the deserters back into his army and together they forced the Mughals to retreat. After the battle, Guru Gobind Singh thanked Mai Bhago for her incredible bravery and granted her leave to go home. Ever devoted to her Guru, Mai Bhago said that she would like to stay. Guru Gobind Singh promoted Mai Bhago and gave her the honor of being his personal body guard. Upon the death of the tenth and final guru, Mai Bhago moved to Janwada, India where she dedicated herself to a life of meditation and promoting Sikh values of freedom, equality, and social justice. The home of the sainted warrior in Janwada is a place of worship today called Gurudwara Shri Mai Bhago Ji.
En este momento, el imperio mogol opresor llevado por el emperador Aurangzeb se sintió amenazado por los sijs y la poderosa influencia de Guru Gobind Singh. En 1705, las tropas de Mughal marcharon sobre Anandpur Sahib, la capital de Guru Gobind Singh y los Sikhs. Mataron a muchas personas, incluso a algunos miembros de la familia del Gurú. Los soldados que protegían al Gurú comenzaron a morir de hambre mientras la batalla continuaba durante semanas y semanas. Los mogoles hicieron un trato de que si alguien renunciaba al gurú y al sijismo, se le permitiría huir. 40 guerreros sij aceptaron el trato renunciando al gurú. Cuando regresaban a sus aldeas, Mai Bhago los encontró. No podía creer que hubieran abandonado al Gurú. ¡Ella los persuadió apasionadamente para que se unieran a ella y volvieran a luchar!

She is compared to famous female warriors Joan of Arc and Mulan for her legendary bravery in battle.Also known as Mata Bhag Kaur, she was born around 1666 in the village of Chabal Kalan in Amritsar, Punjab, India. Mai Bhago was raised in a devout Sikh family and lived during the times of the 10th Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh. Her father had been a member of the Guru Hargobind's army and, despite the army being only for men, from a young age, Mai Bhago enjoyed learning Sikh fighting methods and training to be a warrior.
