Comment: Tone is odd in some parts, needs re-writing. Also very little detail to understand anything about the battle. GraziePrego (talk) 03:51, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: I found that entire sentences has been copied from this one source. Can you ensure to rephrase the sentences as this is copyright violation. So, this is the first battle of Anandpur then? I was unable to verify the year 1695 in a few sources that I saw. Can you point to the most relevant source in that regard on the talk page when you resubmit the article? - Satdeep Gill (talk • contribs 07:05, 8 July 2023 (UTC)

The Battle of Anandpur was a battle fought between the Sikh forces led by Guru Gobind Singh and the alliance of the Mughals and hill chiefs led by Rustam Khan (also referred as Khanzada).
Background[edit]
After the defeat of the Mughals in Battle of Nadaun, Mian Khan, the governor of Jammu urged the governor of Lahore to take suitable action against Guru Gobind Singh.[3] Dilawar Khan, who came into power in Punjab was unhappy with Guru's fame and sent his son with a force of 1000 or 2000 men to make the Guru submit to him and send him a tribute.[4][5] If he refused, Anandpur was to be sacked.[6] He framed a plan to take the guru by surprise. He crossed the Sutlej River with his troops under the cover of darkness at about midnight, but were spotted by Alam Singh Nachna.[7] Then he immediately informed the guru.[8][9]
Battle[edit]
The war drums were sounded. The Sikhs with alacrity and promptitude took up their arms and with the zeal of a crusader arrayed themselves in a battle.[7] The Mughal troops were suffering from the cold and were unable to hold their weapons.[4] The Mughals couldn't hold their ground and fled away.[3][10]
Aftermath[edit]
While going back, the Mughals plundered village Barwan, stayed for some time at Bhulan and then returned to Dilawar Khan.[7] They also plundered Thana Nurpur, Thasil and District Una.[3][10] Rustam Khan fled to Lahore, leaving all weapons behind.[11]
