As Guru Ji’s influence began to spread, Jahangir and the Mughals were stressed that Guru Ji was undermining their authority. Jahangir asked Guru Ji to pay a fine which Guru Arjan Dev Ji owed. Guru Ji declined to pay this unjust fee and was imprisoned in Gwalior Fort from 1609 to 1612 when They were between 14 and 17-years-old. Mian Mir, a respected Muslim saint with a love for Guru Ji, decided to ask Jahangir to free Them. Jahangir agreed to free Guru Ji. However, Guru Ji refused to leave until all the imprisoned Rajas with Them were also freed. Jahangir said that any one who could hold Guru Ji’s dress could leave. So, Guru Ji had a cloak with 52 tassels custom-made. Each ruler could thus hold on to the outfit and be released. The date of Guru Ji’s release came to be known as Bandi Chhor Divas.
