The Battle

The Mughals were defeated in the First Battle of Chamkaur (1702) therefore the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb sent a huge force under General Ramjan Khan to Anandpur. General Sayyid Khan was replaced by General Ramjan Khan. Ramjan khan besieged the fort of Anandpur and the battle starts. In the battle, Ramjan Khan was severely wounded against the Guru at the well militarised fort of Anandpur Sahib. Hence, seeing all failure of the efforts the mughal forces were forcefully repulsed by the Sikhs.

gollark: Consider: there are banks and funds and whatnot with large amounts of money, extremely smart people, and computing power.
gollark: Some offense, but I don't really think you can get *that much* money with a "strat".
gollark: The advice I've heard is just to be extremely boring but practical and shove your money into index funds and such. Not that I have much money to use that on.
gollark: Great?
gollark: I'm also interested, although your stated returns seem implausible.
