The immediate cause of the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur was his refusal to convert to Islam and his defense of the rights of Hindus to practice their religion freely. In response to the persecution of Hindus by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Guru Tegh Bahadur traveled to Delhi to protest against the forced conversions and destruction of temples. He was arrested, tortured, and ultimately executed by beheading on the orders of Aurangzeb in 1675.
