Sikh-Muslim Relations during the Mughal Era (1526-1801)

    This research paper delves into the Sikh-Muslim relations during the Mughal Era (1526-1801) in Punjab. Along with exploring and evaluating the factors that had shaped the relations between these two religious communities, this research study also aims to investigate and appraise the events that took place during this course of time and their subsequent impact on determining the Sikh-Muslim relations. To answer this pertinent question, a qualitative content analysis of both the primary and secondary sources has been made. The findings suggest that initially, the relations between the two communities were cordial, whereas they, due to largely political reasons, turned out to be toxic. For instance, two of the Sikh Gurus were killed by the Mughals. Subsequently, rivalry and hatred replaced harmony and co-existence.
