The Akali Nihangs Documentary on Discovery Channel | Weapon Masters

Akali Nihang Documentary on Discovery Channel | Weapon Masters Repost Documented by the Discovery Channel, Mike Loads investigates the use of the "Chakkr/Chakra-dhari ("chakram-wielder" or "disc-bearer")"(quoit), which is a type of "mukht shastar" used by the Akali Nihangs in warfare. "The Akalee is always armed to the teeth. His high conical turban, like the rest of his dress of a blue colour, is encircled by rings of sharp steel quoits, in the use of which he is very skilful. The rest of his arms are a sword and shield, a steel bow of the ancient Parthian pattern, with a brace of horse pistols, or a collection of daggers in his waistband. In this equipment the Akalee is a truly grim and formidable looking person ; and in most of the fraternity there is a peculiar wildness of expression." by Meadows Taylor,Edited by J watson and John Kaye, Great Britain.
