CHATAR SINGH, a BrarJatt, was, according to Sarup Singh Kaushish, Guru kian Sakhian, a Sikh spy who, during the siege of Anandpur by the hill rajas in September/October 1700, used to mix with the enemy and bring intelligence about their strength, dispositions and plans. It was he who carried to Guru Gobind Singh the news one evening how Raja Kesari Chand, one of the besieging chieftains, had planned to smash the gate of the Lohgarh Fort on the following morning with the help of a drunken war elephant.

ABUL FAZL (1551-1602), principal secretary-cum-minister to Akbar, the Mughal emperor. He was an accomplished man of learning and was the author of two celebrated works, A`ini Akbari and Akbar-nama, the former being a description of Akbar`s administrative system and the latter a chronicle of the events of his reign. Like his father, Shaikh Mubarak, and brother, Faizi, Abul Fazl had Sufi leanings, and all three of them were a major influence in moulding the religious policy of the emperor. Born at Akbarabad on 14 January 1551, Abul Fazl took up service at the royal court in 1574, and through his uncommon wisdom and learning soon rose to become Akbar`s most trusted adviser.
