Jagdai Kolin Of Sult

The Jagdai Kolin was a Koli girl of Sandna Village of Sult Block who married into a family from Sult. She is remembered by locals by the title of the Guardian Of Garhwal because of her courageous acts against the Gurkha Army of the Nepal Kingdom. In 1804, the Rana Bahadur Shah of Nepal sent his army to annex the Garhwal and Kumaon in the Nepal Kingdom. But when Gurkha Army arrived in Sult, Jagdai Kolin opposed the army. She saved the lives of thousands of Garhwali people by alerting them with the cry, "The Gurkha Army Has Arrived! The Gurkha Army Has Arrived!". The Gorkha Army captured Jagdai Kolin and injured her. As Jagdai Kolin did not stop, the Gurkha soldiers cut off her breasts, nose, and ears. They trapped Jagdai Kolin in a cottage and burned it down.^{[citation needed]}
