Sometimes the causes of such heroism were distinctly political and truly patriotic in their character. We have a few more records to show this. No. 411 of 1912 records how a man fell in his attempt to fight against the enemies of his village. No. 427 of 1906 records a similar example of a hero who, after effecting the rescue of his village from hostile attacks, afterwards perished from the wounds he received in the fight. The grateful villagers have tried to immortalize his memory by having carved on stone the figure of their hero with a club in each hand.
