Saragarhi Day (12 September 1897)

.
Sir no sir :)

But as a kid we used to play,go to school together, fight once in a while.... :P whole families of the soviets lived in same neighborhoods as common Afghans. I still remember learning Russian in the school :)

Makes you think how times have changed!




Can some one post UNESCO publication of sargarhi battle? i am told that there is no mention of 21 sikhs vs 10000 pathans.........I also checked various books about frontier uprising 0f 1897 by british, they are not telling any tales of saragarhi at all. Even Sir Winston Churchill is silent about it, he wrote a book about frontier uprising of 1897. If you google saragarhi, you will only find sikh sources, which are just exaggerated fictional tales.



lol no offense, are you a commie?



I wrote it.

Stop using Islamic terms to describe kaffir and stop posting B.S fictional stories and we won't bother you

That sikh in the fort was exaggerating, even in the modern times a fighting lashkar of a pashtun tribe never exceeds 10000. The population of afridi tribe in that time was in thousands, how could they and muster up such large force of 14000 and that for a small fort when rebellion was in entire frontier?. British authors say that largest fighting force among pashtuns was that of mehsuds, 3 thousands strong in early 1900. The entire population of FATA in 1947 was half million. How many they can be in 1890?
Sikhs tends to lie and exaggerate. Their accounts feel like fantasy fictions. Moreover there is not pride in dying for foriegn imperialists
