21 Kersaris by Kiran Singh and Nirvan Singh

 On 12 September 1897, 21 soldiers of 36th Sikh regiment stood undeterred as they guarded the post of Saragarhi against the onslaught of almost 10,000 Afghan tribesmen – a battle for the ages that ended in them laying down their lives in the line of duty. Based on colonial era records and information provided by the 4th Sikh Battalion: Regiment, '21 Kesaris' attempts to answer these questions while paying homage to the brave soldiers who defended the kesari flag – depicting their Khalsa heritage – with their last breaths.
