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)

Tell Me About Sikh Gurus
by Anurag Mehta & Vaneeta Vaid
The Sikhs are the followers of the progressive religion Sikhism. The book tells the story of the ten Sikh Gurus and the rise of Sikhism to become the fifth largest religion in the
Our existence has always required someone to guide us. Living through life and carrying on with its various tasks for survival, sometimes blots from our mind the real paths to happiness.
Then comes along someone, who not only is so special that his existence is hallowed, but apart from that, this someone fits into our lives with ease to lead us.
Guru Nanak was born to ordinary parents. However, he came at the time when the prevailing social conditions were going through a wretched phase. Guru Nanak was unperturbed. He knew things, that he wanted to share with the confused people. They listened. He made so much sense that people began to follow him. So wide and far did Guru Nanak’s popularity spread, that it developed into a religion called Sikhism. Guru Nanak led the line of the ten Sikh Gurus, who succeeded him and further cemented a faith, which has become the fifth largest religion in the world.

This important new contribution to the New Cambridge History of India examines chronologically the entire span of Sikh history from prehistoric times to the present day. In an introductory chapter, Professor Grewal surveys the changing pattern of human settlements in the Punjab until the fifteenth century and the emergence of the Punjabi language as the basis of regional articulation. Subsequent chapters explore the life and beliefs of Guru Nanak--the founder of Sikhism; the extension and modification of his ideas by his successors; the increasing number and composition of their followers and the development of Sikh self identity. Professor Grewal also analyzes the emergence of Sikhism in relation to the changing historical situation of Turko-Afghan rule, the Mughal empire and its disintegration, British rule and independence.
