True lies!

Not a single bit of truth in this superficial account(ow.ly/Hty950BojfC) of the battle of #Saragarhi. 123 years and the British & Indian Army doesn't have the courage to honor those Sikhs, who died for colonialism, with truth!

#SaragarhiDay
There were 500~ soldiers on the neighboring forts of Gulistan & Lockhort few 3-4 KM away from the post of Saragarhi. Gen Yeats-Biggs had much larger force just down the mountain.

None moved to help those 21 Sikhs, they didn't offer the "sacrifice" but were sacrificed. Image
Col. Haughton, commandment of the 36th Sikhs, called the outpost of #Saragarhi a "certain rotten post". He regretted its faulty construction and wrote that

“the men who put up the wooden doors ought to be left to defend them.”

More evidence that those Sikhs were "sacrificed"!
