Sikh Women In Mir Mannu Jail

The condition of Sikh women in Mir Mannu's Lahore jail was terrible. They were subjected to various forms of physical and mental torture, including being beaten, whipped, and sexually assaulted. Many died due to the harsh conditions of the jail, lack of medical facilities, and inadequate food and water supplies. The women were not provided with proper clothing, and they had to live in unhygienic and overcrowded cells. The atrocities committed on them were meant to break their spirit and force them to renounce their faith, but they remained resolute and defiant in their beliefs. This all were happening before the Khalsa Raj.
