'''Kushal Singh Dahiya''' or '''Bhai Kushal Singh Dahiya''' was a [sikh] [[Jat]] from the village of [[Badhkhalsa]] in what is now [[Sonipat]], [[Haryana]], India. He offered his head in place of that of the Guru [[Tegh Bahadur]], which was being taken to [[Anandpur Sahib]] by [[Bhai Jiwan Singh]] and which [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] wanted to seize. Dahiya was thus killed for that purpose.<ref name="pioneer">{{Cite news|url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2017/state-editions/cm-unveils-statue-of-kushal-singh-dahiya.html|title=CM unveils statue of Kushal Singh Dahiya|last=Pioneer|first=The|work=The Pioneer|access-date=2018-11-27|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9oYHCC7FTYwC&pg=PA171|title=Martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur|last=Singh|first=Darshan|date=2003|publisher=Anamika Publishers & Distributors|isbn=9788179750322|language=en}}</ref><br />
