Four strategies of war advocated by Akali Nihang Guru Gobind Singh Ji:
a) 'Sham' - To feign submission before enemy and when opportunity arises take enemy out.
b) 'Danh' – Bribe enemy and when opportunity arises take enemy out.
c) 'Dand' – If you can quickly physically subdue enemy then do so.
d) 'Pedh' – Cause dissension between enemy ranks and allies and when opportunity arises take enemy out.
