28 October
On this day in 1708
Emporer Bahadhur Shah confers a "khillat", robe of honour, on Guru Gobind Singh’s family
Surprisingly, he had bestowed the same honor upon Jamshed Khan, Guru Gobind Singh’s assassin, only two days earlier. By treating the assailant and the victim at par, Bahadhur Shah lend credence to the theory that he, apart from the Subedar of Sirhind, was involved in the surreptitious attack on Guru Sahib.
