21 Sarfarosh - Saragarhi 1897

THE YEAR 1897

In 1897, the British had set foot on Indian soil,

bringing the territories from East to West

and North to South under their control.

One of the borders of India was with Afghanistan,

where the Amir's kingdom ruled,

which had compromised with the British Government.

AFGHANISTAN PUNJAB

But there were many tribes in the border regions of Afghanistan,

which neither consented to the compromise nor respected the Amir's command.

These tribes would often come from across the border...

RAWALPINDI, LAHORE, MULTAN

...and attack the neighboring regions of India.

DELHI, JAIPUR, RAJPUTANA

Three hundred soldiers from the 36th Sikh Regiment were deployed

in Samnaghati, Fort Gulistan, and Fort Lockhart

to stop these attacks.

However, some tribes under the leadership of one person

were displaying their ambitious intentions.

A mighty attack was being planned on the border,

and the British had no idea about it.

Speak in Hindi, Bridget, Chand Singh is also with us.

We're from the 36th Sikh Regiment.

We searched a lot,

but we couldn't find a single bunker belonging to the Orakzais.

So, I think, the information was wrong.

The Orakzais are not planning any kind of attack.

Similarly, it's not possible for them to be on the other side of the border.

-Chand Singh? -Sir, my information isn't wrong.

I saw meat roasting on firesticks and some dug-up bunkers.

But I can't see any bunkers.

Danger can't be seen, sir.

It doesn't take long to use a bunker and then fill it up.

It's also possible that their men are in disguise.

Come on.

Come on.

That's a child.

I'm going there.

Officer! Officer!

Bless us, Lord!

It's the enemy!

Sir!

Bring the horse.

No matter who the enemy is,

don't attack from behind.

You take the captain to Gulistan. I'll take the major to Lockhart. Hurry up.

I'm bound by your wish, Lord

Thank you God, all is in your will.

How are you, Ram Singh?

How are you, bro?

I'm fine, thanks to God.

-Very good. -Jeeva Singh. Come eat grams.

Come, Jeeva Singh. Have some grams.

Give me some. Let me eat.

If you would not look beautiful

Let my leave be sanctioned so that I can

Go home with pride and meet my beloved

Who are you thinking of?

We can bear scorching heat and freezing cold,

rain and storms.

We can face the enemy and bullets.

But in this merciless terrain,

these moments of leisure

are very painful.

That's why I'm reminded of my home.

You're right. We miss our home.

Buta, Ishar Singh is coming.

Alone?

Our officer is also with him, look.

Look, I think it's them.

Come on. Hurry up.

Open the door!

Be careful. Take it easy.

We'll handle things, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

Medicines, sir.

King! King!

King! King!

Show me your power, King!

If I shed even a drop of my blood, you win.

Show me your strength, King!

King!

King!

King!

Cowards hit on the legs, King.

Come on. Hit me on my chest.

Don't lose hope.

Don't lose hope.

You still have a lot to learn, King.

A lot.

Forgive me, brother.

But I've learned from you that there's no scope for mercy
