The Zafar Nama in history is known as the victory letter sent by the tenth Sikh guru to the then Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. It was written in 1705 and the language used was Persian. The letter is a reminder to the Mughal king of his oaths and how he and his soldiers had failed to keep their promise. It also questions the faith and belief of Aurangazeb towards his religion. The letter had a very profound effect on the King, as he was overcome with the emotions of guilt, as a result of which he had requested to meet Guru Gobind Singh offering the hands of reconciliation.
