Saka Nankana Mahant Massacre (1921) Singhs are martyred when wrestling control of Gurdwara Nankana Sahib (Pakistan), birthplace of Guru Nanak, from corrupt Mahant Narayan Das. The Mahant, who owned an estate adjacent to the gurdwara, took control collecting revenue and offerings made to the Gurudwara. He used the premises for debauchery and encouraged atrocities preying on innocent unsuspecting pilgrims who visited the gurdwara. When confronted by concerned Singhs, he pretended to cooperate all the while stockpiling men and weapons. February 19, 1921 at 10pm, a posse of Singhs from surrounding neighborhoods marched on the gurdwara arriving before dawn on the 20th. The Mahant ambushed and massacred nearly 200 Sikh men and women setting fire to bodies of the dead and wounded.
