Five Sikh Courageos Women Part-1
Sikh women have demonstrated and lived a life of high morals and ideals. They have not only practised but also preached the faith of the Gurus. Sikh women have taken part in all aspects of life, from fighting on the battlefield, to travelling the country and spreading the teachings of the Gurus. Even those who did not live the “adventurous” life, played an immensely important role of raising the next generation of saints and soldiers ready to serve the Sikh faith. It is down to these brave and honourable women that the Sikhs today can be so proud of our history.
1. Bibi Roop Kaur
Bibi jee was brought up by Guru Har Rai Jee with a lot of care and love. She was loved by Guru Sahib’s Sahibzaday. She was very intelligent and did the great seva of noting every word spoken by Guru Har Rai Jee. She kept a daily record and wrote in a very academic manner. Her notes are now a valuable part of the Panthik literature—she compiled 32 stories of Guru Har Rai Jee and was the first woman editor.
