#1 "Come back with your shield or on it," isn't that what Roman matrons told their menfolk? If I recall correctly, Singh is the surname of the Sikhs, which goes some way to explain such wisdom and courage.

#2 "Come back with your shield, or on it."

Spartan women to their men.

Sukhpreet Kaur

"Kaur" is the surname taken by Sikh women. So the family are indeed Sikhs.

#7 Sarabjit was sentenced to death in 1991 for his alleged involvement in four bomb blasts in Lahore and Multan that killed 14 people. His family denies he is a spy as claimed by Pakistan and insists he accidentally strayed into Pakistani territory.

#8 He is most likely a drunken trespasser. He is a simple farmer and doesn't have the police, military or IAS background to be a RAW/IB black operative.

Someone like him would not have been tasked with crossing the border to organize bombings.
