Answer: 12 September 2024
Notes: The 127th anniversary of the Battle of Saragarhi was celebrated on September 12, marking one of the greatest last stands in military history. The battle took place on September 12, 1897, in the North-West Frontier Province of British India, at Saragarhi post. 21 soldiers from the 36th Sikh regiment, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, fought against over 8,000 tribal militants. Punjab declared September 12 as Saragarhi Day in 2017. The British built an obelisk for the martyrs, and the Pakistani Khyber Scouts still honor the memorial. Saragarhi post was crucial for linking two British forts, Lockhart and Gulistan, to monitor Afghan movements.
