His original name was Sayyid Badr-ud-din. He was born on June 13, 1641, in a rich Sayyid family of Sadhaura. From his childhood he was imbued with spiritualism and realization of God. As he took no interest in worldly affairs and spoke little, he was called Budhu or stupid. Being a Sayyid, Shah was added to his name. When he grew up to manhood, people considered him a man of God, and designated him Pir or a saint. The epithet of Budhu Shah stuck to him. He became Pir Budhu Shah.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pir_Budhu_Shahs_Meeting_with_Guru_Gobind_Rai\"><\/span>Pir Budhu Shah&#8217;s Meeting with Guru Gobind Rai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Guru Gobind Rai was staying at Paonta, the Pir was touring the hilly areas. The Pir came to know that Guru Gobind Rai, the tenth embodiment in the line of Guru Nanak, was staying at Paonta. He went to see the Guru, in a palanquin, as it was the fashion among kings and emperors of those times to move with royal pomp and show, in palanquins, with attendants and servants.<\/p>\n<p>The audience with the Guru gave him the peace of mind which the study of religious books, prayers and meditation had not given. His mind was cleared of all doubts after exchange of views with the Guru. The difference of \u2018That is yours and this is mine\u2019 had disappeared from his mind. The Pir could see everything belongs to one God, when he left for Sidhaura.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pir_Budhu_Shahs_Role_in_the_War_of_Bhangani\"><\/span>Pir Budhu Shah&#8217;s Role in the War of Bhangani<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the first meeting it became routine for Pir Budhu Shah to visit the Guru. He no more needed a palanquin to visit the Guru. He came to realise that the Guru\u2019s fight was not for any kingdom but against the tyranny which was being perpetrated against the poor people. Religion was being used as an excuse to commit tyranny. He got five hundred Pathans (Natives of Afghanistan) who had been dismissed from Aurangzeb\u2019s army for being Shi\u2019ah Muslim, enrolled with the Guru.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting the War of Bhangani\u2019, the hill states\u2019 rajas tempted and enticed four hundred of these five hundred Pathans to join them. When Pir Budhu Shah came to know this disloyalty of the Pathans, he came to the Guru\u2019s aid with his seven hundred followers, four sons and two brothers. Fierce battle was fought at Bhangani. Two of his sons attained martyrdom in the battle. The army of the hill rajas suffered heavy casualties in the war and their forces were routed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pir_Budhu_Shahs_Request_to_Guru_Gobind_Rai\"><\/span>Pir Budhu Shah&#8217;s Request to Guru Gobind Rai<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After the war was over, the Pir came to take leave from the Guru to go back to Sidhaura. The Guru asked the Pir, \u201cYou have rendered great help to me in this war. You may ask if you have any special wish. Your wish will be fulfilled from the \u2018House of Nanak\u2019.\u201d At the time, the Guru was combing his hair. The Pir said to the Guru, \u201cIf you are so pleased with my services, be kind enough to grant me this comb with your hair entangled in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avenging_Pir_Budhu_Shahs_Martyrdom_by_Baba_Banda_Singh_Bahadur\"><\/span>Avenging Pir Budhu Shah&#8217;s Martyrdom by Baba Banda Singh Bahadur<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Guru gave the comb with the hair to Pir Budhu Shan. Later on Maharaja Bharpur Singh of Nabha state obtained that comb and hair from the descendants of the Pir after paying the sum asked by them.<\/p>\n<p>When Aurangzeb came to know that the Pir had helped the Guru in the \u2018War of Bhangani\u2019 he sent Usman Khan with a force to Sidhaura. Usman Khan arrested the Pir and to punish the Pir for helping the Guru, he was martyred by burying alive.<\/p>\n<p>Baba Banda Singh Bahadur avenged the Pir Budhu Shah\u2019s execution in 1709 by storming Sadhaura and punishing \u2018Usman Khan. The ancestral house of Pir Budhu Shah in Sadhaura has since been converted into a Gurdwara named after Pir Buddhu Shah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Life and Legacy of Pir Budhu Shah Pir Budhu Shah was a Muslim saint who lived at Sidhaura in Himachal Pradesh.
