How 21 Sikh Soldiers Fought to the Death Against 10,000 Afghan Tribesmen

Описание: On September 12, 1897, Havildar Ishar Singh and twenty men of the 36th Sikh Regiment stare down an impossible nightmare: ten thousand screaming Afghan warriors surging toward their tiny outpost at Saragarhi. The math is suicidal—476 attackers for every single defender—but instead of retreating, the Sikhs fix bayonets and unleash a storm of disciplined rifle fire that stacks enemy bodies in heaps against the limestone walls. For seven grueling hours, the garrison holds the line as waves of tribesmen smash against the crumbling perimeter, reducing the battle to a brutal, hand-to-hand fight for survival in the dust and blood. As ammunition runs dry and the walls finally buckle, Sepoy Gurmukh Singh continues to transmit real-time heliograph reports from the burning blockhouse, signaling every casualty until he is the last man standing. By sunset, the fort is a ruin and every defender is dead, but they take nearly 1,000 enemies with them to the grave, earning a tribute that brings the British Parliament to a stunned silence. This is the true story of history’s greatest last stand, where twenty-one lions faced an ocean of wolves and refused to blink.
