Guru Gobind Singh (22 December 1666 – 7 October 1708) is the tenth Guru of Sikhism.

He was born in Patna, Bihar in India and became a Guru on 11 November 1675, at the age of nine years, succeeding his father Guru Tegh Bahadur.

He is the leader of the Sikh faith, a warrior, a poet, and a philosopher.

Sikhs consider Guru Gobind Singh a perfect example of manhood; highly educated, skilled in horsemanship, armed combat, chivalrous, and generous in character.

Guru Gobind Singh's life and teachings have had a lasting impression on Sikh ideology as well as in their daily life.

His establishment of the Khalsa is considered as one of the most important events in the history of Sikhism.

He fights twenty defensive battles with the Mughals and their alliances, such as Rajas of Shivalik Hills.

Guru Gobind Singh is considered the last human Sikh Guru; and declares the Guru Granth Sahib in 7 October 1708, the holy scripture of Sikhism, as the next permanent Sikh Guru.
