True meaning of Lohri

My Comment: Lohri is a vow to stand for the truth but we have missed it completely. 

Dulla Bhatti - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulla_Bhatti

Dulla Bhatti (Rai Abdullah Khan Bhatti) was a 16th-century Punjabi Muslim Rajput folk hero, often called the "Robin Hood of Punjab," known for resisting Mughal Emperor Akbar's oppressive taxes and tyranny, leading a rebellion, and redistributing looted wealth to the poor, his story celebrated in Lohri folk songs for saving girls and fighting injustice. 

Key Aspects of his Legend:

Rebellion Against Mughals: He led a guerrilla resistance against Mughal rule in the Punjab region, challenging unfair land revenue policies.

"Robin Hood" Figure: He would attack Mughal tax convoys, steal the collected taxes, and give them to impoverished farmers and villagers.

Saviour of Women: A famous legend tells how he rescued a girl named Sundari (Mundri) from an unwanted marriage and arranged her wedding, which is commemorated in the popular Lohri song, "Sunder Mundariye".

Folk Hero, Not Official History: His story survives primarily through oral traditions, songs, and folklore, not official Mughal records, making him a symbol of resistance.

Execution: He was eventually captured and executed by hanging in Lahore in 1599, but his bravery and compassion became legendary, cementing his status as a beloved Punjabi icon. 

Connection to Lohri:

The annual Punjabi festival of Lohri celebrates Dulla Bhatti's bravery and his acts of kindness, particularly his defense of the oppressed and women, through traditional songs and bonfires.
