Guru Tegh Bahadur Public School, Model Town

GURU TEGH BAHADUR (1621-1675)

The House system has been adopted in the school with a view to develop the spirit of healthy competition amongst the students. The entire student strength is divided in four houses. Each house has been named after a great Sikh.

Each house is controlled and guided by a House Master and House Captain and is provided a colour and a flag. A large number of inter house co-curricular activities are conducted under the system.

The School is named after Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib, ninth Guru of the Sikhs who laid down his life not for his own faith and doctrines, but for the fundamental rights of the Hindu Religion. He emphasised that no mighty power or political authority had the right to impose any particular creed and culture either by force or through tempting indoctrination on any religious or cultural minority.

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s martyrdom worked a miracle in Indian history. It was the beginning of the end of the mighty Moghul empire. Aurangzeb’s tyrannical phase of persecution and terror ended with the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur.

Guru Tegh Bahadur’s life and teachings have great relevance for our present age of intolerance and political ideologies. He was the poet of human freedom and the musician of divine wisdom. He was the lover of truth and justice and he dedicated his life for the freedom and peace of humanity. He teaches in his slokas:

He who fears no one,
Nor strikes fear in any one,
Consider my mind, Nanak says,
Such a man to be an enlightened sage
(Bhai kahu ko det neh, neh Bhai Manat aan.)
