The Battle of Saragarhi was fought before the Tirah Campaign on 12 September 1897 between Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army and Pashtun Orakzai tribesmen. It occurred in the North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan).

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 around 10,000 Afghans. The Sikhs, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, chose to fight to the death, in what is considered by some military historians as one of history's greatest last-stands. The post was recaptured two days later by another British Indian contingent.

Sepoy Bhagwan Singh was the first one to be killed. Naik Lal Singh was severely injured, but still, he along with Sepoy Jiwa Singh carried Bhagwan Singh’s body to the inner layer of the post.

The last man standing was Sepoy Gurmukh Singh, the man who communicated the battle to Haughton. Before he took his last breath, he exclaimed “Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal!”

Sikh military personnel commemorate the battle every year on 12 September, as Saragarhi Day.

The 21 Sikh non-commissioned officers and soldiers who died in the Battle of Saragarhi were from the Majha region of Punjab and were posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, at that time the highest gallantry award which an Indian soldier could receive. The corresponding gallantry award was the Victoria Cross. The award is equivalent to today's Param Vir Chakra awarded by the President of India.

The names of the 21 recipients of the gallantry award are:

Havildar Ishar Singh (regimental number 165)

Naik Lal Singh (332)

Lance Naik Chanda Singh (546)

Sepoy Sundar Singh (1321)

The epic poem "Khalsa Bahadur" is in memory of the Sikhs who died at Saragarhi.

The battle has become iconic of eastern military civilisation, the British Empire's military history and Sikh history. The modern Sikh Regiment of the Indian Army continues to commemorate the Battle of Saragarhi on 12 September each year as the Regimental Battle Honours Day. To commemorate the men the British built two Saragarhi Gurudwaras: one in Amritsar, very close to the main entrance of the Golden Temple, and another in Firozpur Cantonment, in the district that most of the men hailed from.

The Indian military, in particular the Indian Army, has been pushing for the battle to be taught in India's schools. They want it taught due to the heroism shown by the Indian soldiers to act as inspiration for young children. There were articles like these, printed in the Punjab's longest-established newspaper, The Tribune, in 1999: "the military action at Saragarhi is taught to students the world over and particularly to students in France." The news was enough to provoke political debate, and the battle has been taught in schools in Punjab since 2000.

The Punjabi power – haven’t we all heard how Sikhs have a bigger hearts than their chests. Sardars are often called super-human entities. Have you ever seen a Sardar Ji begging? Never, right? That’s because the Khalsa says - a Sikh must live on honest labour, give generously to the ones in need, because they believe whatever is given is given to the Guru. And when it comes to courage and valour, Sikh Regiment is one of the most decorated in the country.

Apart from jokes doing the rounds about Punjab Kesari and Zubaan Kesari, when the trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari had revealed, everyone was in awe of the powerful punch that it delivered in just three minutes.

2019 has brought a wave of patriotism in Bollywood, especially after the release of films like Uri: The Surgical Strike and Manikarnika among others. Now, Kesari, starring Akshay Kumar, is also one of the most anticipated movies of the year.

The historical battle drama is directed by Anurag Singh, who is known for films like Jatt & Juliet 1 and 2, Punjab 1984 and Super Singh.
