September 12, 1897, twenty-one soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment, including their commander, Havildar Ishar Singh, faced impossible odds. Over ten thousand Pathans and Afghan tribesmen advanced on their signaling post of Saragarhi, located in the North-West Frontier province of undivided British India. For the next seven hours, the Sikhs fought to the last man, protecting the Indian soil of the British Empire with unflinching courage and determination. Each was posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the highest gallantry award an Indian soldier could receive from the British crown. Never in the history, or since the battle of Saragarhi, has an entire contingent of troops received the highest gallantry honor for a single action. This is their story, based on the actual dispatches sent during the battle and the days that followed it.
… the name of your race has become almost synonymous in the English language with traditions of desperate courage and unflinching loyalty.
- Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India, in Lahore. (The Times, April 07, 1899)
…the conduct displayed by the 21 men of the 36th Sikh Regiment whose names were inscribed on the memorial was characteristic of the [Sikh] nation's traditions. It should be kept as an example to others, in order to show how brave men should behave when facing fearful odds.
- General Sir Arthur Power Palmer (The Times, April 17, 1902)

Great introduction to an epic conflict
Posted by JAGJETTA on 7th May 2015
I knew nothing about the the Battle of Saragarhi before I read this book. It was engaging, explained the battle very well and made me realize that this Battle makes the Alamo look a fair fight!
Highly recommend this as an introduction to one of the great displays of bravery in history

Great for teaching kids about sikh history
Posted by Jagga Singh Mukandpur Wala on 17th Jul 2013
Some of my family can not read punjabi and have troubles understanding long complicated punjabi words, so these comic books are great for teaching them sikh history in english due to the language barrier.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a interesting, fun, well written, nicely illustrated comic book on the sikh history.
Worth every penny.

It is a great read for any age. I did not even know some of the facts, especially the map given on front page, which makes it visualize the location.
My kids loved it and keep on reading it

I always heard about this great incidence (most still do not know) and always wanted to know the entire detail.
This comic has helped me read about our great history in a comfortable and memorable way because pictures help etch the scenes into your mind.
The paper and print quality is very nice and worth it!

I feel proud to read this
Posted by Jaswinder Singh Nagi on 7th Jan 2012
This comic is truly a mark of respect for those who laid down their lives and didn't turn back on their duties. The whole book doesn't let you distract at any step. Very well narrated and graphics were really good. It was like making movie with 21 heroes in just 40 pages. All was done in very professional manner. I congratulate whole team of Mr. Daljeet Singh Sidhu and Mr. Amarjit Virdi for this great uprala. A must read for young children and even adults to learn about our glorious past.

Posted by Ajit Brar (Sacramento, California) on 5th Jan 2012
I am glad Sikh Comics publishd the graphic novel on this great battle. We really need to tell this story to the world. This comic does it really well. Very inspiring indeed. I will now get a few copies for my non-sikh friends.

Impressive illustration of a great battle
Posted by Sridhar Govindarajan (Virginia Beach, VA, USA) on 3rd Jan 2012
I just received the book and truly enjoyed it. I have many Sikh friends.... unbounded respect. Unfortunately, so far I knew little of their glorious history. This book not only narrates the true story of the Battle of Saragarhi very well but nicely brings forth the force behind the Sikh spirit of bravery and sacrifice. I look forward to more such titles from the Sikh Comics project.

PHENOMENAL...
Posted by Parminder Singh on 25th Nov 2011
I had the privilege of reviewing the proofs yesterday. Oh boy... it is superb. The art, and the story line meshes very well. We really needed to tell this story to the world. I am glad these guys have done it... too well to put it in words here.
I look forward to my copy in a few days.
