But who are these four figures? And why does their collective memory ignite a fire of courage in the hearts of Sikhs worldwide?

As we bow our heads in reverence to the Chaar Sahib, we don't just mourn their death. We celebrate their life. We internalize their Jazba (passion). "Deh Shiva Bar Mohe Ehai, Shubh Karman Te Kabhu Na Taroon..." "O Lord, grant me this boon: That I may never deviate from doing good deeds." May we all find the courage of Ajit Singh, the loyalty of Jujhar Singh, the wisdom of Zorawar Singh, and the innocence-meets-fierceness of Fateh Singh.

They chose death. They chose their faith. They chose their Guru.
