"Courage is the ability to do something that frightens one."
The saffron-clad warriors who preferred death to dishonour. The two Pathans who took on the might of Shah Jahan for the sake of a Rajput. The one-armed leader who defeated the British in 1858.

These are stories of real people. Taken from different periods of history. From the legendary Haldighati to the Brahmaputra to Loos in France, relive the heroism and courage of these amazing people.
Some remembered. Some forgotten. But all inspiring.
