This collection of articles and records from **The Sikh Review** commemorates the **350th anniversary of Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom**. The texts emphasize his role as a **”shield of humanity”** who sacrificed his life to defend the **religious freedom** of Kashmiri Hindus against Mughal persecution. Beyond the execution in 1675, the writers explore his **theological contributions**, his work as a **peace mediator**, and his commitment to **social equality**. Historical accounts also highlight the **extraordinary loyalty** of his companions—Bhai Mati Das, Bhai Sati Das, and Bhai Dayala—who embraced death alongside him. Modern reflections within the text argue that his legacy provides a **universal framework** for interfaith solidarity and human rights in the present day. Additional sections offer **spiritual guidance** from Sikh scripture and a **book review** documenting the heritage of Sultanpur Lodhi.
