Mukatsar’s battle was the last battlefield of Guru Gobind Singh in 1705 AD, which proved to be a most decisive conflict in the military history of the Sikhs. Literally the name of this city means "the pool of liberation". Forty Sikh warriors were the one who fought to death here against the Mughal Empire. These forty Sikhs were first given "badava" (resignation as Guru's Sikhs) and then returned back with Mai Bhago, a follower of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and attained martyrdom at ‘Khidrana Di Dhab’. Later this place was named ‘Sri Muktsar Sahib’, renamed from ‘Kidhrani DI Dhab’.

The Sikh Ardas or prayer consisted of forty Mukte means Mukti or liberation in Sikh history. Guru Gobind Singh Ji wanted people to always remember these forty ‘Mukte’. So in the Sikh Ardas or supplicatory prayer offered individually or at gatherings, people  always remembered their religious services. After this battle Guru ji met with a yogi (saint) and the saint asked questions to Guru Gobind Singh ji about Jang (Battle) or Jog (Path to Divinity). To this Guru Ji Said “The work which people make for human welfare is not a battle, it is Ascetics, more pure and divine life to understand God and lead the way towards this ultimate ‘Providence’ ”.

Bhai Vir Singh is regarded as the founder and creator of Punjabi Literature and was a revered writer and poet known for his spiritual literary work in particular. He was born into a Sikh traditional family on 5th December 1872 in Amritsar. His creative works involve the “Shri Guru Nanak Chamatkar” depicting the influence of Guru Nanak Devji in ordinary people’s lives. He reoriented the Sikh faith and assimilated different modernizing influences and made it go in unity with the Sikh rich history and cultural heritage. His Literary geniuses include, Shri Guru Kalgidhar Chamatkar, Bijay Singh and Satwant Kaur. One can also look into his historical collections with books like Sri Guru Nanak Chamatkar and Sri Asht Guroo Chamatkar etc. His later contributions do not need any introduction as he wrote several books on Gurbani, the lives of the Sikh Gurus and other religious figures. He made an impression with books like Subhagji da Sudhar Hathin Baba Naudh Singh, popularly known as Baba Naudh Singh. His short poems include books like Dil Tarang (1920), Tarel Tupke (1921), Lahiran de Har (1921), Matak Hulare (1922), Bijlian de Har (1927) and Mere Sayian Jio (1953). This then showed the way and led to the emergence of Punjabi poetry. His creative work and poetry made him so popular that he was declared as Bhai, the brother of the Sikh order, very early in his career for his true contribution in spreading Sikhism.
