Palliative Peace in Action

On the solemn occasion of the Battle of Saragarhi Martyrs' Day, Capt. TPS Gill Memorial Care and Support Home paid tribute to the brave hearts who fought valiantly against overwhelming odds. We gathered together to watch the inspiring movie 'Kesari' and 'Ardaas', which brought to life the sacrifices made by these gallant soldiers. Their unwavering courage and indomitable spirit continue to inspire us to this day. We are eternally grateful for their selfless service and the ultimate sacrifice they made to protect our nation.

About the Battle of Saragarhi

The Battle of Saragarhi was fought on September 12, 1897, between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment and an overwhelming force of 10,000 Afghan tribesmen. The Sikhs were outnumbered by more than 400 to 1, but they fought bravely for several hours, killing hundreds of the enemy before they were finally overwhelmed.

The Battle of Saragarhi is considered one of the greatest last stands in military history. The Sikhs' courage and determination in the face of overwhelming odds is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Indian soldier.

Capt. TPS Gill Memorial Care and Support Home run by Palliative Peace is a non-profit organization that provides care and support to veterans and their families. We are committed to honoring the memory of our fallen heroes and ensuring that they are not forgotten.

Today's commemoration of the Battle of Saragarhi Martyrs' Day was a small gesture of our gratitude and respect for the brave Saragarhi martyrs. Their legacy continues to inspire us to serve our nation with courage, compassion, and unity.
