Today is the 246th anniversary of the 3rd Battle of Panipat, a remembrance of a cold chilly January day when thousands of Marathas, rushed across the fields of Panipat on empty stomachs, fought desperately hard and laid their lives down far away from their homeland but in defence of what they considered part of their nation and which we consider part of our nation.
