zorawar singh -lrb- sikhism -rrb-

sahibzada zorawar singh -lrb- -rrb- was the third of guru gobind singh 's four sons .
he and his younger brother , sahibzada fateh singh are among the most hallowed martyrs in sikhism .
a combination of mughals and hillmen besieged anandpur sahib on the orders of emperor aurangzeb .
the stock of food in the town ran out .
the mughals promised to leave the sikhs alone if they would hand over the fortress of anandpur .
to this guru gobind agreed and left the town with his family and a small band of retainers .
they had not gone very far when the mughals , breaking their promise , came after them .
guru gobind entrusted his two younger sons , zorawar singh and fateh singh as well as his mother , mata gujri , to the care of a cook in his household named gangu .
gangu brought mata gujri and the two sahibzadas to his native village of sahedi .
bribed by the mughals , he turned over the three members of guru gobind 's family to the `` faujdar '' of morinda .
they were then brought to sirhind in the presence of wazir khan , the nawab of sirhind .
the two sons of guru gobind , zorawar -lrb- 7 years old - born : 1697 -rrb- and fateh -lrb- 5 years old - born : 1699 -rrb- were offered safe passage if they became muslims .
both refused , and so wazir khan sentenced them to death .
they were bricked alive .
after guru gobind 's death , madhodas bairagi , a hermit from nanded , whom the guru baptised as gurbaksh singh , commonly known as banda bahadur , besieged the punjab .
after laying waste , the cities of samana and sandhaura , he moved towards sirhind and after defeating the mughal forces , beheaded wazir khan .
the place where the two sons of guru gobind were bricked alive is today known as fatehgarh sahib .
