Haqiqat Rai Bakhmal Puri (died 1734; Punjabi: हक़ीक़त राय बाघमल पुरी (Devanagri), ਹਕ਼ੀਕ਼ਤ ਰਾਯ ਬਾਘਮਲ ਪੂਰੀ (Gurmukhi), حقیقت رائے باگہمل پوری (Shahmukhi)) was an 18th-century martyr from Sialkot, who was executed in Lahore during the time of Zakariya Khan.[1][2][3]
At one level this story is about the inexorable distance between the Hindus and the Muslims—Haqiqat Rai is evidently a martyr to the Hindu cause (refusal to convert), when Muslims exercise political power.
Plays about Hindu martyrs such as Dharmveer Haqiqat Rai or Maharani Padmini advocated deep loyalty to Hinduism and the need to fight for one's faith.
