The Battle at Saragarhi is one of eight stories of the greatest examples of collective bravery in world history, as identified by UNESCO (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

For some unknown reason this significant piece of history has been completely overlooked and has been reduced to a non-event.
