The Saint-Soldier: Documentary on Bhai Maharaj Singh of Bhai Daya Singh Sampardaya (first Sikh in Singapore albeit as a captive of the british)

[dalsingh101]

"Bhai Maharaj Singh and Kharakh Singh are the two men who fought to the bitter end in the Anglo-Sikh wars, and Bhai Maharaj Singh was the last person to be captured or to surrender to the british authorities because he's not captured until December 1849 by which time all the other Sikh elites have either been defeated or have been surrendered or been captured. So Bhai Maharaj Singh is really the last of the fighters, and he fights not only on horseback in actual battles but he also fights, and his claim to fame is he is able to provide supplies, whether it be munitions, whether it be horses, whether it be men, and he can always mobilise them and he can always provide miracles when Sikh rebels needed them the most. So he's this Bhai whose famous not only for his spirituality but also his effectiveness on the battlefield and providing the right supply of men and material and munitions in every important battle, and he's involved in all the key battles that occur, so from about 1844/45 all the way to 1859."
