India's Greatest Battle
The Battle of Saragarhi was a significant event that took place on September 12, 1897, in present-day Pakistan. It involved a small contingent of Sikh soldiers from the British Indian Army defending a military outpost against a massive onslaught by a Pashtun tribal force.
The outpost at Saragarhi consisted of a signaling tower and a small detachment of 21 Sikh soldiers from the 36th Sikh Regiment, under the command of Havildar (Sergeant) Ishar Singh.
On September 12, 1897, around 10,000 to 12,000 Pashtun tribesmen, belonging to various clans, launched a coordinated attack on Saragarhi. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the Sikh soldiers displayed extraordinary bravery and determination. They fought valiantly, repelling wave after wave of attacks by the tribesmen.
Realizing the dire situation, Havildar Ishar Singh, rather than surrendering, chose to make a final stand. He fought until his last breath, choosing death over defeat. The Pashtun tribesmen, recognizing the bravery and valor of the Sikh soldiers, respected their fallen adversaries.
The Battle of Saragarhi is remembered as one of the greatest last-stands in military history. The sacrifice and courage displayed by the 21 Sikh soldiers have become a symbol of Sikh bravery and military tradition. In honor of their sacrifice, the British Indian Army posthumously awarded all 21 soldiers the Indian Order of Merit, which was equivalent to the Victoria Cross.
The Battle of Saragarhi remains an important part of Sikh history and has been commemorated and celebrated by Sikh communities worldwide.
