21 सैनिकों ने 10,000 दुश्मनों को धूल चटाई थी | Battle of Saragarhi History in hindi

The British Indian contingent comprised 21 Sikh । soldiers of the 36th Sikhs (now the 4th battalion of the Sikh Regiment), who were stationed at an army post and were attacked by around 10,000 Afghans.

The Sikhs, led by Havildar lshar Singh, chose to fight to the death, in what is considered by some military historians as one of history's greatest last-stands.

The post was recaptured two days later by another British Indian contingent.

Sikh military personnel commemorate the battle every year on 12 September, as Saragarhi Day.
