21 soldiers. 10,000 enemy fighters. 7 hours. Not one of them surrendered.

September 12, 1897. A remote signalling post on the North-West Frontier of British India. Havildar Ishar Singh and twenty men of the 36th Sikh Regiment looked out and saw what was coming — an advancing force of over ten thousand Pathan and Afghan tribesmen.

Their orders were to hold the post. They held it for seven hours. They fought to the last man.

When the story of Saragarhi was recounted before the Parliament of the United Kingdom, every member rose to their feet. The British Parliament has stood for very few battles in history. This was one of them.

Each of the twenty-one soldiers was posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit — the highest gallantry honour an Indian soldier could receive from the British Crown. Never before in the history of the world, and never since, has an entire contingent of troops received the highest gallantry honour for a single action.

This is their story — reconstructed from the actual dispatches sent during the battle and the days that followed — told in vivid illustrated panels that place you on the walls of Saragarhi as the numbers close in and the choice becomes clear.

They were Sikh soldiers. They did not consider surrender.

What's inside:

  • The Battle: A minute-by-minute account of the seven-hour last stand, drawn from actual military dispatches
  • The Men: The twenty-one soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment — their commander Havildar Ishar Singh and the men who stood beside him
  • The Odds: How twenty-one men held off over ten thousand for seven unbroken hours — and what that meant
  • The Honour: The unprecedented gallantry awards, the parliamentary tribute, and the legacy that endures to this day
  • The Faith: The Sikh spirit of courage, sacrifice, and devotion to duty that made Saragarhi possible
  • The Experience: Meticulously researched and based on primary sources — includes area maps and scripture verses — enjoyable for readers aged 7 to adult

Perfect for:

  • Children aged 7 and up (and the adults reading alongside them)
  • Gurdwara Sunday school programs and Sikh Studies classes
  • History enthusiasts, military history readers, and anyone who has watched the story told on screen
  • Parents and grandparents wanting to pass the stories of Sikh courage and sacrifice to the next generation

Great for teaching kids about sikh history

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.

I feel proud to read this

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.

Amazing presentation

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

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

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.
