The brave and inspirational soldier Havildar Ishar Singh, who fought the "Battle of Saragarhi" in 1897 was also a native of Jagraon Tehsil. This magnificent soldier braved the 10,000 Afghans with his team of 21 sikh sepoys. Akshay Kumar's movie "Kesari", an inspirational movie on the courage and sacrifice of Havildar Ishar Singh and his team of 21 sikhs reminds us of this forgotten historical event and sacrifices made by these brilliant soldiers at the cost of whose lives we enjoy the present day freedom.
