Ishar Singh was a prominent figure in Sikh history who served as a soldier in the British Indian Army during the early 20th century. He is best known for his role in the Battle of Saragarhi, a last stand battle fought on 12 September 1897 between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikhs regiment and thousands of Afghan tribesmen.
During the battle, Ishar Singh and his men bravely defended a small outpost in the North-West Frontier Province, now part of Pakistan, against overwhelming odds. Despite being vastly outnumbered, they fought valiantly and managed to hold off the enemy for several hours before ultimately being overrun. All 21 Sikh soldiers, including Ishar Singh, were killed in the battle.
The Battle of Saragarhi is considered one of the greatest last stands in military history, and Ishar Singh and his men are remembered as heroes in Sikh tradition. The Indian government has posthumously honored Ishar Singh and the other soldiers with numerous awards and memorials, including the Saragarhi Day, which is observed annually in India to commemorate their bravery and sacrifice.
