TENDER HEARTED SAID BEG                                                   

Said beg and Alif Khan were two generals in the army of Aurangzeb. They were going with their armies, from Delhi to Lahore. Their informer came and told them, Guru Gobind Singh Ji is on his way from Kurukshetra to Anandpur. He has, with him, only a squad of hundred Singhs at this time. This is a good opportunity to capture him. We should take full advantage of this.''
The generals had five thousand men each. They also felt that the Guru could be captured alive. Without thinking and deliberating further, they began to pursue the Guru. They were confident that they had ten thousand fully trained soldiers. One hundred Singhs who had just taken up arms and started riding horses were no match or them.
Singhs at Anandpur came to know that an army of Aurangzeb was pursuing the Guru. They hurriedly managed a squad of further four hundred Singhs who joined the Guru on the way. The Royal Army attacked the Singhs near Chamkaur. The generals were wonder struck on seeing the valour and the method of warfare of the Singhs, who had repulsed their forces.
The generals had heard about the valour of the Singhs but that day they witnessed eveything with their own eyes, how five hundred Singhs were holding an army of ten thousand at bay. Singhs were fighting with such skill and bravery that Said Beg could not stop himself from watching them. He forgot that he himself was in the battle filed to fight. His heart melted. He could not bare the cruelty being meted out to the Singhs. He entrusted the command of his army to Alif Khan and himself joined the Guru. Alif Khan was wounded while fighting. Without a commander, the soldiers thought it better to run and save their lives. The Singhs won the battle. Said Beg came to Anandpur and started living with the Guru.
At Anandpur people were taught,''We are all children of the same father who is the the One Supreme Being.'' The rich and the poor were treated in the same respect.No one thought of encroaching on others rights. Hindus and Muslims were treated alike and respectfully. It can be said that in those days Anandpur was a heaven on earth.  By coming in the presence of Guru Gobind Singh Ji even the hearts of stone become tender and pure in mind. Said Beg also started participating in battles in tyranny. He attained matryrdom while fighting against the Royal Army in the fourth battle of Anandpur.
