The Battle of Saragarhi was a legendary last stand by 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment (now the Sikh Regiment of the Indian Army) against 10,000–12,000 Afghan tribesmen in the North-West Frontier Province (now in Pakistan). The Sikhs, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, defended a remote outpost despite overwhelming odds on September 12, 1897. For hours, they fought fiercely, repelling multiple attacks. When ammunition ran low, they engaged in hand-to-hand combat but refused to surrender. Every soldier died fighting, but their valor delayed the Afghan advance, allowing British reinforcements to fortify nearby garrisons. The battle is regarded as one of history’s greatest last stands, and all 21 Sikh warriors were posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the highest gallantry award for Indian soldiers at the time. Saragarhi Day (September 12) is now commemorated annually as a tribute to their bravery.
