Why did I get to know about this by a foreigner?
I'm an Indian, I never knew this happened!!
Indian education needs to focus on true heroes like them!!
Spidey Parker Congress has watered down our history, Indian history, they would rather let pakistanis kill us then man up and fight back like men . I believe in peace but tolerance to intolerance is cowardice.
from what I hear they have strategically missed out on this info in our text books
It's too small scale of a fight for history books
Thank congress for that.
Shivang Sawant so Dandi March.... which was repeated a thousand times could be replaced with this...at least once.

Then you should read more on sikh history. And you will get to know its common for Sikh warriors to be lions in battlefield but at same time filled with love for other humans. Sikhs would always fight the person equipped equal to them. And if enemy asks to be spared then sikhs would always spare them. Sikhs were always very brave and disciplined and spiritually apt. This was one of the reason British recruited more Sikh in British India than people of other parts of india

Sikh regiment is one of the most important and strong regiment of indian army. Sikhs never surrender, they will die but never surrender. 20 against 10000. Their sacrifice will be always remembered. We Indians are proud of our sikh brothers
They fought for British against Indians in 1875 rebellion . These Sikhs sepoy are not to be compared with Sikh regiment in Indian Army who are heroes.
Gurush Sp tu thoda chutiya hai kya?
Girish Sp U are absolutely correct my friend
those sikhs who fought with the british did so because the people starting the revolt bengalis etc. fought against them in the anglo sikh wars, also the hindu dogra leaders betrayed them making them surrender/retreat thus losing the wars - they felt betrayed

You miss a very important thing at 4:18. They promised the Sikhs wealth, safety and position of importance on TWO conditions! Come out of the fort and surrender AND convert to islam. If they would only surrender and refuse to convert they would be killed instantly. The Sikhs would never accept Islam and therefore when the last man stands he was saying Bole So Nihal Sat Sri Akal
Correct.. Despite all promises.. Those cowards would have killed Sikhs anyway if they surrendered. Better die with dignity
That's very important to note.

Sikhs are badass.
I mean, you can argue politics and the ethics of imperialism, but that doesn't diminish how badass these guys were.
kyuven were and are.
I personally know a family of Sikhs and they own some beautiful (I think ceremonial) daggers.
You need to be pretty metal if your religious symbol are two crossed daggers/swords.
Also, they have totally sikh turbans, brah.
Fast of all Sikh is worship of there guru(who teach the lesson of life and the a duty of a sikh). It's a religion who r famous in India for there hard work, passion, honesty and helpfulness. They r really strong then any other common indian and other people in Asia. Shik is a rase of a warrior. The symbol of shik is seen that they worship there gurus shod and chakra. Respect them and there religion because 1 shik can't afraid to fight against lots of people. Before I say they r warrior race so there is no doubt that 21 shik can't hesitate to fight or fall back when they know they all died in battle. There is only one religion competed with them that is GURKHA. They r also a famous warrior group that give thought challenge to shik. But both of them r in indian army. For that reason indian army is one of the strongest army in the world.......
Them and the Gurkha are out secret weapon in the army
James Legrand they carry them so that they can protect innocents at any moment.
That last part of the battle must have been quite scary for the tribes men. I mean they are literally burning alive a guy who just killed 20 of their own single handedly, and all he does is laughing his ass-off at it.
I mean this area of the continent still fears sikhs ever since the invasion in the 1820s
Personally, I think the most metal part is that Gurmukh Singh, the signalman, asks for permission to take up his rifle and-despite knowing he’s all alone- goes through the trouble of packing away his equipment. That’s discipline.

U are simp
Incredible. For 21 to fight hundreds before falling... I think men like Belisarius and Admiral Yi would be proud of them. ☺
Well, the sikhs most likely were trained, given good equipment (I dont want to know how many rifles, if they had any, failed of the attackers ) and a defensive position
These where men with rifles and where where trained in battles against the other tribes. ( The fighters where from only 1 tribe the Pashtun) and the the Pashtun themselves claim only 180 died.
Athalwolf implying centuries of tribal warfare didn't leave the Afghani's with skilled troops. They aren't defenseless, they are dangerous adversaries on the field.
This isnt the first time sikhs have done something like this, they generally tend to be really badass, history is full of examples.
Belisarius and Admiral Yi commanded thousands of troops and are best known for organising and coordinating large-scale battles, not for defending forts and borders. I'm sure they would be just as proud of those men as any other person would, but there's no relation.

To people questioning why Sikhs would do this for the British empire its because Sikhs historically have been a very martial people, the religion is centered around defending the defenceless and being a soldier for humanity. The video also does not mention the fact that these forts were there to keep British India safe from invading afghans (they were boarder forts) this was not a charge into Afghanistan or an invasion into Afghanistan it was 21 men defending their countries boarder.
Also because the Sikhs had gotten some very, very rough treatment at the hands of Islamic rulers over the generations, and this was remembered. If there's one group that would rally behind the British flag, it was the Sikhs.
Yet, during the freedom struggle against the British, these same Sikhs were the hammers the colonialists used to suppress dissent. I'm not putting down their sacrifice, but you have to think of the context of the times.
The Sikhs were aligned with the Brits, they sold out the Indians.
They didnt "sell" anyone out. They joined forces with a friendly force that didn't try to massacre them.
Ford Prefect the Sikhs aligned themselves with the English because the British empire had used other Indians against the Sikhs during the second Anglo Sikh war, this is the war that cost the Sikhs there empire. Once the dust had settled the Sikhs had become loyal soldiers for the English, and being loyal soldiers they swiftly put down the Indian rebellion. I understand some groups of other Indians aren't fond of the Sikhs because of this but the British did treat certain groups of Indians better than others which in turn created resentment. Regardless historically Sikhs have been excellent warriors and in my opinion the Sikhs diaspora around the world has flourished remarkably. Btw I am English so I may be a little biased in my views but I do understand the British empire had not treated other Indians well which I think is a shame given the intellectual merit of most Indians.
Damn. Badass. 10,000 Afghan tribesmen versus 21 Sikh Soliders. They killed so many for a power who did not care for them. Honourable and brave to the end.
Ah yes because the British were worse to the sikhs than the Mongols and afghanis? We’ve literally always been a minority, only a few decades of sovereignty. We literally fought the afghanis previous to this battle on and off for 70-80 years
Afghan Chief: 21 more of them and we would not have had no Rebellion left.

thats what sikhs are bro...just google the history about sikhism and u will found out more intresting facts and true stories like this in sikhism...
Yeah, these guys were just amazing!
dochmbi Remember, those Sikhs had two choices, either back up on tne fort they are holding but they chose to fight 'till their last breath. So they did their duty, what's wrong with that? (also your exaggerating with that nuclear war)
FROM MACEDONIA FOR MACEDONIA They killed hundredS not 100, meaning multiples of 100.
They killed a dozens per soldier on the melee on the outer wall alone (according to the video) which would already amount to more than 100.
Bs story. Pathans have invaded India many times, they are warriors. Sikhs are very overrated fighters. I respect them but this story is made up. 21 sikhs vs 10000 pathans? Are you kidding me??!! Back in history The pathans ruled much of India.

These Sikhs didn't die for a foreign overlord. When the tribesmen get through the pass whose homes would they burn? Whose wives and families would they kill or violate? The native Punjabis, including these Sikhs. They may have been part of the army but they were also fighting for their own people.
All 21 of them were from firozepur district, east Punjab which is now in India and there is a memorial to commemorate their sacrifice in ferozpur cantt.

The conversation here is great! I'm glad issues of imperialism and the way it turns people against each other is being discussed! My aim here was to point out the other side of that as well, which is that no empire in history, be it the Roman, the Mongol or the British, is solely the work of the people who get to name it. They are often the ones we write about when we write history but that overlooks the contribution and sacrifice (willing or unwilling) of so many, whose efforts are essential to these vast entities.

Extra Credits Please do more of this, I would love to know of other contributors to the British Empire, and who else aided to its success from the lands they colonilaized.
@Extra Credits - Love your videos! Please do some videos on Indian History! There's a ton of fascinating content to be unearthed and presented!
This video is really good, because it refutes the black and white view people like to have of history. They just want "British Empire = bad", but reality isn't that simple.
@Extra Credits. @mankytoes. It is not just the issue of imperialism, but the away the video draws the Afghans as pure machine of war, bloodlust zombies, without adressing the context, without adressing the political issue behing this battle (the fact that the Patchuns were split, the constant english incursions in to their territory, the Great Game).
I know you guys like to do extremely orthodox history showing individuals as heroes and battles as acts of heroism and history break points, and I like it. But it's a very dangerous pass because it can make you pick sides, oversimplified things, and worst of all, desumanize individuals to show your point, as the afghans pictured at this video. History is never "Good vs Evil", is about how humans interact with world around them.
I hope you can get this critic as a advice, your videos are great, this in special just need a bit of more context.
Netsaurus Huh, I didn't get that impression of the Afghans, they just seem like a standard attacking force. If anyone seems like @war machines", it's the Sikhs.
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" - George Santayana.
Sums up this comments section pretty well.
PauseForGames well then, i guess we'll just have to make them remember.
Sikhs were nothing short of Legendary, They are basically the Vikings of India. Before the British arrived in India, The Islamic Mughal Empire ruled most of India. While Sikhism was a relatively new Monotheistic Faith, They were left untouched. Hindus were persecuted by Mughals and one day a bunch of Hindus went asking Sikh Guru (Leader) to protect them from Mughal Persecution and Torture.
The Sikhs were at that time allied with Mughals and had Trade Contacts with them and were prospering immensely. Any Reasonable Leader would have said - "Go away, its your problem, This is not our Fight". But the Sikh Guru didn't do that. He actually promised Hindus to shelter them and fight their Battles against the Mughals and thus started a century of Sikh - Mughal Battles.
They got involved in a Century long Conflict that benefited them in no way only to protect the Righteousness and few Good people from Tyranny and Oppression. And because of this we Hindus are even today very grateful to Sikhs - The Bravest of the Brave Warriors in History. One just has to say he is a Sikh and he deserves undisputed respect, Such is the Legacy of Sikh Warriors in History !!!
Actually it started with 5th guru who was executed for not behaving in "Islamic" ways, later on 9th Guru was tortured and murdered for not converting to Islam as if he converted, every north Indian Hindu would have. Then eventual death of Guru Gobind Singh ji Maharaj, who had to wage life long war of righteousness in which his 4 sons, wife and mother are killed.
lol, who says they were left untouched, everyone suffered some more some less!!
@Swapn Lok Don't forget the Ahom empire of Assam that were once conquered by the Mughals. Got defeated 17 times.

Sikh history is a history of last stands. Read Fenrich's book Martyrdom in the Sikh Tradition.
The nation grew as a response to Islamic tyranny and oppression and their history has been nothing but martyrdom, and holocausts.
Have to admire that they never converted to Islam, but rather died

The maximum sacrifices and martyrdom by Sikh for Sikhism was done by the Jat caste and this is an irrefutable fact.

You have done these men good by giving them the honor and recognition they deserve. In the over 300,000 that have watched this their valiant effort and memory will live on.
Dang it, now I'm crying again!
This episode made me tear up. What a group of heroes. They stood their ground and fought their best, even if they must have felt overwhelmed. And that commander...what an honest and total badass. While I personally don't think it's wrong to have retreated in this situation, or that I would understand if they had defected considering how the British fort had abandoned them to their fate, what they did was truly honorable. Their sacrifice is more than worth remembering.
Edit: Also, the comments section raises some interesting questions. Yes, they were fighting for the British, but does that make their stance in the face of thousands of opponents any less valiant? I do not think so. No matter how well trained you are, the size of your group *does* matter - it is why we sing ode to great leaders of armed forces that were outnumbered and yet still won.
I believe this is another example of human individualism. Anyone can be perceived as "good" or "bad" if you look at them from *one point of view* or another. Regardless, they stood strong in the face of certain death, and that is what makes this an act of heroism.
This video is not talking about who was "good" and who was "bad", or who was on the "right" side of history and who was on the "wrong" side. Those things are debatable. What isn't debatable is the very real sacrifice these soldiers made in overwhelming circumstances. And that, is what this video covers. Like another commenter said, honour, courage and bravery are universal.
GoVocaloider Yea being a Sikh I m proud that they fought braver On the other hand they Fought for British who were responsible for Jalliawala bagh massacre and partion of India and Punjab
The point of the debate must what a Sikh fight for. that u can study , lot of material is available. In this case they were there to defend and they defended as much as they could. and possibilitities of retreating, Sikhs dont like to retreat. search operation blue star 1984

There's a saying 'hard environment breeds hard people'. Before the Sikhs became Sikhs, Punjab was ravaged and humiliated by Turks, Persians and Afghans. After 700 years of such injustice rose the Sikhs. There's an ecstasy in fighting for sure death. The fear of death just evaporates. That's when men become more than what it's physically expected of them.
For all the people who are confused and asking why would they die for British emipre..?.
Answer is one word.. Sikhs..
They didn't fought like that because of patritism or anything like but the answer is much simpler Duty..
These men just joined British army because of they wanted to feed their family bcz those were tough time for north India..
And they fought because in Sikh culture they used to value duty orver anything
I am not trying categories all the sikhs in mordern world as fighters or anything but that's how it was back in old days.. sikhs descendants of warrier culture.
You can say they were like Spartans or samurais of Indian sub continent
Sadly not many indians them selfs don't know much about this story..
Glad extra credit brought it up
Don't forget they were defending their homes and families from the Afghan invaders. The Sikhs have a bad history with Islam and would much rather stay under British rule.
+Ash bro
Yeah, but Why they didn't used all that duty to kick British asses and get away of their famine induce laws?
Konig_von_Refien yes..So many Muslim Kings in history tried to change all of Punjab to Islam.
And it's ironic that sikhs in western countries are mistaken for Muslims..
Not that being Muslim is wrong or anything but.. I just find it ironic
uhh... yeah, sorta. But they did actually like the Brits. The Sikhs were a minority, and as such they were often oppressed by Hindu or Muslim rulers in India. There were never enough of them to stand up to these guys on their own. The British treated all Indians the same, thus opening new opportunities to the Sikhs specifically. The people who had been in power and elite suffered under British rule: but it really did benefit many of the minority groups.
What is a shame is that the British hung them out to dry during Partition, one of the many tragic mistakes they made during that time. You won't find that most Sikhs are so keen on the British these days, and a huge chunk of the community now lives in America.
And the cowardly Brits repayed by massacring 1000 Sikhs in Jalianwala in Indian Punjab

@Mr Obamamacita What you are even talking about ? More Hindu Sikh wars than Mughals?
If I remember correct, the battle of Chamkaur was between 40 sikhs and 100000 Mughals. Right?

they were in a fort, also, they mughals hired mercenaries, bandits, neighbouring hill kings, they were basically like "if your on my bad side, heres your chance to be pardoned of any crimes you did". So the majority of the army was hindu and random bandit people
Shivansh Nautiyal it is true that marathas were so strong that British were very reluctant to fight with them and made deals etc but during that time mughals were in decline and had no solid leader left while marathas had a solid one , mughals in prime like akbar etc was a force to be reckoned with

Stories like this belong to all of humanity, and should be shared all over.
Texans like myself have always grown up hearing great stories about our states history. We have to take twice the history courses in school simply because its so extensive. There is a heavy patriotism to our home, so much so that when people online ask me my nationality, Texan feels like a more natural answer then American. Most every Texan knows the chants from our history: "Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad". I had until now never known of the events at Saragarhi, but watching this video filled me with the same kind of spirit and patriotic vigor that I had for my people when I learned about my own history growing up. I had to remind myself that these events of unparalleled heroism in the small signaling village were the great war stories of other people and not the stories of mine. There is a hell of a lot of will and gut to knowingly give your life to a big cause in such a minute forgettable place. This video really moved me and I wanted that said.
Yes the Texans did a great job fighting for the right to perpetuate the institution of slavery in Texas territory when the Mexican government wanted to ban it.
