Ishar Singh duly travels to Saragarhi fort. He is given a punishment transfer to Saragarhi fort, which sits between Gulistan and Lockhart forts, and enables communication between them. Nevertheless, Ishar Singh is blamed by his superiors for his actions which caused the breach of peace with the Afghans. Soon enough, the Afghans attack the British-controlled Gulistan fort, but are held at bay by Ishar Singh who fights valiantly, killing many Afghans. When the troops return to Gulistan fort, the British officer writes a strong report informing his commanding officer, who sits at the nearby Lockhart fort, of Ishar Singh's disobedience and insubordination. In defiance of the orders of his officer, Ishar Singh goes ahead and intervenes, fights off the tribesmen, and rescues the woman by killing her husband, thereby disobeying his immediate superior.

The British officer refuses to intervene and save the woman for two reasons: firstly, she is an Afghan citizen and does not reside in British territory and secondly, it is a family matter pertaining to tribal custom, and the policy of the British Raj is to not interfere in such matters. Once, while on a border patrol, the troops see a group of Afghan tribesmen, led by one Saidullah, on the verge of killing a married Afghan woman because she refuses to accept her husband, who has been chosen by her family without her consent. The regiment is posted at Gulistan Fort, on the border between British-held territory and the Afghan border. His superior and commander is an arrogant British officer, who deems all Indians to be cowards, and is jealous of Ishar Singh because of his superior fighting skills. Ishar Singh is a havildar in the Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army.
