There is so much incorrect information in this article. For starters, the name of the Guru who was martyred was Guru Arjan Dev and not Arjan Singh- martyred because he was suspected to support a rebellion against Mughals. Also a lot of misinformation about the Sikh Misls and events proposing the timings of presence of “site of future Golden Temple”. FYI, the construction of Golden temple was started by 4th Guru, Guru Ram Das in 1577 and completed in 1604 in the presence of the 5th Guru, Guru Arjan Dev(mentioned above, re incorrect name).
The Sikh Misls, formed in 1700s, defended Golden Temple and not “ran a collective at the site of the future Golden Temple.” They defeated the then Mugals and ruled from the Red Fort for 2 months, during which they broke Aurangzeb’s throne on which he ordered the execution of 9th guru Guru Teg Bahadur and put it in chains in Ramgharia Bunga in Golden Temple. It still exists there.
