The sacrifice of the soldiers of 36 Sikh Regiment, who fought in the famous battle of Saragarhi Fort, will always remain etched as an iconic moment in the history of the Indian Army, an official statement quoting the chief minister said
The Battle of Saragarhi was fought between two sub-nationalities of the subcontinent - the Sikhs, who were in the service of British India, and the Pashtuns, who were fighting for their freedom. The British Indian contingent comprised 21 Jat Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikhs (now the 4th battalion of the Sikh Regiment), who were stationed at an army post and were attacked by 10,000 to 12,000 Afghans.
