The Hajuri Sahibzada of Guru Gobind
Singh, who was sent to help Banda
 Bahadur in Punjab and fought many
battles for Religion like a Warrior.

Alliance with Banda Bahadur

He was one of the five companions of
Banda Bahadur (1670-1716) sent by the
Guru in 1708 from Nanded to the Punjab to
punish Wazir Khan, Nawab of Sirhind.
Binod Singh was Banda Singh's ally in the
campaign he launched upon arrival in the
Punjab. Binod Singh commanded the left
wing of Khalsa Army in the Battle of
Chappar Chiri fought in May 1710. After
conquest of the province of Sirhind, the
frontier district of Karnal, bordering on
Delhi territory, was entrusted to Binod
Singh. Soon thereafter, in October 1710,
Binod Singh fought 4 battles at Tarori,
second at Amin, 25 km north of Karnal,
third at Thanesar, 8 km farther north, and
the fourth at Shahabad, 22 km north of
Thanesar.

Differences with Banda

Bahadur
Banda Bahadur declared himself as a Guru
and started behaving like it. Binod Singh
was upset with many aspects of his
behavior especially when he started
disobeying orders of Guru Gobind Singh.
On Hukamnama by Mata Sundri, Binod
Singh left Banda Bahadur with other
Nihangs and declared themselves as Tatt
Khalsa and followers of Banda were called
Bandai Khalsa.[3] After Binod Singh and
other Nihangs left, Banda Bahadur was
captured and prosecuted in Delhi.

Binod Singh came to Goindwal after

dispute with Banda Bahadur at Gurdas
Nanagal.
Aftermath
According to Khafi Khan, three to four
thousand of his men were killed. Binod
Singh is believed to have lost his life in this
massacre, too. That was in 1716.
