I came across this hilarious blog. The writer is very funny and writes a very entertaining (but not very historically accurate) article called "BadAss of The Week", where he talks about tough Indians/Tamils throughout history.
Bad Ass Part 1: Once Upon a Time in Tamil Nadu: http://www.mystictamil.com/2011/12/tamil-badass-of-week-once-upon-time-in_16.html
Bad Ass Part 2: The Hero of Kargil: http://www.mystictamil.com/2012/01/tamil-badass-of-week-part-2-hero-of.html
As I said they are not very accurate but it is very entertaining to read and I appreciate what he is trying to do, promote real heroes over cinema actors.
