Reason For The Kaul Families Migration To Delhi
Ganga Ram Brahmin’s (the infamous Gangu) son Raj Kaul convinced Banda Singh Bahadar to surrender. Raj Kaul was the son of the cook Gangu who served in Guru Gobind Singh ji’s kitchen for 20 years and later betrayed them by getting Mother Gujri ji and 2 younger sons of Guru Gobind Singh ji captured by the Mughals. The Mughal (Vajeer Khan) not only retracted from giving the promised reward to Gangu but also took away Mother Gujri ji’s property from his possession. This same Gangu’s son Raj Kaul ran away to Kashmir in fear of the retaliation of the Sikhs. Since he was educated he was working on a government job. When the later Mughal, Farukhshayar came to know of the favor that Gangu did to the Mughals, he found out his family (Raj Kaul) and asked them to come back to Delhi.
