Bhai Jai Singh Khalkaat was a honest hardworking Sikh living in the Village of Mughalmajra about 5km on the Patiala Sirhind Road. He was a loving humble Rehitvaan Gursikh and had great love for the Guru.
One day in 1753 Bhai Jai Singh jee was doing Naam Abhyass in the fields when Muslim Governor Abdul Samund Khan passed by. Bhai Jai Singh jee didnt get up or salute Samund Khan as he was not even aware of his presence. His Second in Command kicked him awake and ordered him to carry the Nawab's Baggage. ( At that time such free labour was conscripted to carry baggage from one village to another) Bhai Jai Singh jee asked him whats in the Bag ( as he suspected it was hooka and tobacco from the smell) The Mughal admitted it was indeed tobacco and hukka of the Nawab. Bhai Jai Singh jee refused to touch this point blank as it is agaisnt his Gurus Hukam to avoid even touching tobacco. The Mughal arrested Bhai Sahib jee and ordered that he be Skinned Alive after being hung upside down from the nearest tree.
They hung him upside down from a tree branch and using sharp tools peeled off the skin from his whole body starting from the feet. Within minutes his whole body and the ground below was jet red with blood. All along Bhai Sahib was doing Naam Abhyass his in surtee and was in Anand of Naam.
The Nawab had also martyred Mata Dhan Kaur wife of Bhai Sahib ,his sons Karaka Singh and Kharak Singh and daughter in law Bibi Raj Kaur.
When the Singhs heard of this great tragedy they attacked the village of Mughalmajra and attacked the barbaric Mughals. Today in the Village Baran stands a Gurdwara in memory of this forgotten Kurbanee.
