In the 18th century, amidst intense oppression, Khalsa warriors Bota Singh and Garja Singh emerged as symbols of unwavering Sikh spirit, against overwhelming odds. They set out to deliver a message that the Khalsa still remains in this world.

In an act of defiance, they established an outpost on a trade route near the village of Sarai Nur-udin, boldly taxing passersby to proclaim the enduring presence of the Khalsa. The local governor, threatened by their resilience, dispatched a battalion to capture them. Standing back-to-back armed only with wooden staffs, the Singhs repelled the initial onslaught effortlessly.

The cavalry were forced to use their firearms instead. Bota Singh and Garja Singh continued to press forward despite their gunshot wounds, and with death imminent they steadfastly crawled towards the enemy shouting out ‘Akaal! Akaal!’. The sensational spirit of the Singhs continues to be remembered to this day – a marker of sacrifice, resolve, and fearlessness.
