Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shahid (c.?-c.1737) was an eminent 18th century Sikh commander and theologian who captained the Khalsa through the dark days of the post-Banda Singh era genocides. A sagacious diplomat and preacher, he converted thousands to the Sikh fold before being executed by Lahore's Muslim-Hindu combine.

This episodes draws upon the detailed works of Bhai Ratan Singh Bhangu in his Sri Gur Panth Prakash (mid-19th century) and Giani Gian Singh in his Shamsher Khalsa (early 20th century) that themselves reiterate primary eyewitness accounts to derive lessons from last days of Bhai Mani Singh the martyr.
