Politics and Religion. We’re not supposed to talk about that, right? Wrong! We only say that nowadays because the loudest, most extreme voices have taken over the whole conversation. Well, we‘re taking some of that space back! If you’re dying for some dialogue instead of all the yelling; if you know it’s okay to have differences without having to hate each other; if you believe politics and religion are too important to let ”the screamers” drown out the rest of us and would love some engagin ...

133: Sikh Sword v British Bayonet - The Battle of Mukdi (First Anglo Sikh War)

The Anglo-Sikh wars fought in the 1840’s, were probably the bloodiest the British ever fought in India. 9,000 British & Bengali troops and well over 20,000 Sikhs were killed or wounded in 7 epic battles and one siege. Marked by incredible bravery on both sides, with a good dose of incompetence and accusations of treachery thrown in, the wars would change India forever.
And yet, most people, have very limited (if any) knowledge about them. Well, unless you are a fan of Harry Flashman of course!
Flashman gets up to his usual adventures (on the battlefield and in the bedroom) in "Flashman and the Mountain of Light" which is set in the First Anglo Sikh War
This is the first in my series about those two Anglo-Sikh wars.
In this episode I explore how the first war started and the opening battle of Mudki on the 18th December 1845.
