    The ninth Guru of the sikhs Shri Guru Teg Bahadur ji was a great saint in India who not only preached to all but also sacrifice himself for the sake of religion.

    He sacrificed himself to save the religion of Some Kashmiri Brahman who were forced to convert themselves into Muslims by Aurangzeb.

    He not only saved them but also taught everyone that all humans have the right to adopt and live in the religion he believes in.
