![]() Though heavily outnumbered, the soldiers of 36th Sikhs (now 4 Sikh), led by Havildar Ishar Singh, fought till their last breath, killing 200 tribals and injuring 600. Twenty-one soldiers were pitted against over 8,000 Afridi and Orakzai tribals but they managed to hold the fort for seven hours. The Battle of Saragarhi is considered one of the finest last stands in the military history of the world. While it has a elements typical of all Bollywood movies I found it a very good movie. Know that is a Bollywood production with english subtitles. It is one of several movies that have been made about the heroic 1897 battle where 21 Sikh soldiers battle 6 to 10 thousand Afgan tribesman for 7 hours before the final Sikh soldier is killed.
