I watched a movie on Amazon Prime tonight - a retelling of a true historical event - that is every bit as powerful a story as the 300 Spartans at the Battle of Thermopylae.
The Battle of Saragarhi - in which, on 12 September 1897 - 21 Jat 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 10000 to 12,000 Afghans. The Sikhs, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, chose to fight to the death, in what is considered by some military historians as one of history's greatest last stands
