I follow lots of blogs on Tumblr and would like to introduce you to a blog called “Lock, Stock, and History”. This blogger collects miscellaneous history and curiosities that are as fascinating as Robert Ripley’s stories. (REF: Ripley’s Believe It or Not.)
The story of this 75-year old warrior, made me stop and think to myself: ‘Is such a thing even humanly possible?’
Believe it or not!
This is something you can believe and there is no question about it.
- Today, Baba Deep Singh is revered as a saint and a martyr in the Sikh religion.
No doubt the record of the real battle probably evolved into this myth or legend of a heroic or rather, a superheroic human being with the boldness and spirit of one who was not afraid to fight oppression, injustice, and all crimes against humanity.
