Akali
(redirected from Nihang)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Akali 

an archaeological site of the Neolithic, Bronze, and early Iron ages (third to first millennia B.C.) in Estonian SSR, on the west bank of Chudskoe Lake, in the estuary region of Emajõgi River. Akali was discovered in 1937 and excavated during 1938, 1939, 1949–52, and 1966. Because of a rise in the level of the rivers, the population gradually migrated up the slope of a hill. Various types of clay pottery are characteristic of Akali: Narva, pit-comb, corded, textiled, cross-hatched, and smooth-walled ceramics. Stone, bone, and amber articles have been found.

It's the blows your enemy never sees coming that do the real damage," Nihang says.
This attitude is most keenly developed and purely crystallised in the form of the spiritual warriors mentioned earlier, known as Nihang Singhs.
Traditionally attired Nihangs, the title by which the army of the tenth Sikh Guru came to be addressed, were the centre of attraction at the sporting event displaying skills in ancient warfare known as "Gatka" and sword fighting.
