Full thing in comments | In 1897, the battle of Saraghari commenced in India. Saraghari was a post where 2 other forts. "Gulistan and Lockhart" would communicate through. Around 10,000 afghans planned to attack Sarghari, meaning that Gulistan and Lockhart couldn't communicate, then they would conquer the other 2 forts. India was under british control at the time. 21 Sikh soldiers in the 36th Sikh Regiment vs 10,000 Afghans (back then India was bigger under British Control). You would think that the 10,000 Afghans one with ease. But that wasn't the case. The Sikhs fought valiantly. Not a single one gave up. All the Sikhs were martyred. The Afghans did win, but only after hundreds and hundreds were slain. Because of this act the British Parliament held a moment of silence out of respect. | image tagged in fun facts with squidward | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
