the bravest people i ever met ,were my brothers and my sister, who had to taste my mother's lunch nearly every day, when we were young....may be that was the reason , my elder brother decided to become a chef...

Not an iota of their religion or customs have they lost. . . ".
      To see the exploits of rajputs please see here:

       Also rajputs could not be captured alive if a battle outcome was against them. Rajput women self immolated themselves and men died fighting then be captured:

An exerpt from a piece of contemporary biased propaganda does not a brave people make...
The Anglo-Saxons also claimed to die rather than lose, but run they did, when they needed to. You will need better proof than this nationalistic sh*t.

Women hold their councils of war in kitchens: the knives are there, and the cups of coffee, and the towels to dry the tears.

The Irish as they, like the Poles, endured centuries of oppression but never lost their identity. Another great thing about the Irish is they share our love of strong drinkLOL
