Battle of Saragarhi: 21 Sikhs vs 10,000 Afghans | The Bravest Battle Ever Fought

On 12th September 1897, just 21 brave Sikh soldiers stood guard at Saragarhi Fort when over 10,000 Afghan tribesmen launched a brutal assault. Outnumbered 1 to 500, these warriors fought with unmatched courage, refusing to retreat or surrender. Led by Havildar Ishar Singh, they held the fort for nearly 7 hours, fighting till their last breath.
