The Sikh Light Infantry
THE SIKH LIFE INFANTRY
The Sikh Light Infantry finds its origins in the Sikh Pioneers raised in 1857. Sikh Pioneers were used in various military campaigns in India and abroad and highly regarded for their determined resolve to complete the assigned tasks against all opposition. The Sikh Pioneers were later merged into the Sappers and Miners. World War-II and its need for additional troops saw the rise of Mazhabi and Ramdasia Sikhs as a regiment in 1941. The designation was changed to the Sikh Light Infantry in 1944. Its Regimental Centre is Fatehgarh, Uttar Pradesh and its Regimental insignia is a sharp-edged ‘Quoit’ or ‘Chakra’, used by the Sikhs in combat, mounted with a ‘Kirpan’, the Sikh dagger. Its Regimental Motto is ‘Deg Teh Fateh’ (Prosperity in Peace and Victory in War) and its war cry is ‘Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal’ (He who cries God is Truth, is Ever Happy).
