THE SIKH REGIMENT
THE SIKH REGIMENT A major portion of the substance of The Sikh Regiment traces its origins to Maharaja Ranjit Singh's Army. With a humble beginning of two battalions in 1846, today The Sikh Regiment has grown 20 battalions strong. The Battle of Saragarhi fought by 36th Sikh (now 4 Sikh) in 1897, is an epitome of Valour, Courage, Bravery and Sacrifice. Its Regimental Centre is Ramgarh Cantonment, Bihar and its Regimental insignia is the a sharp-edged ‘Quoit' or 'Chakra', which the Khalsa Armies had used in combat. The Chakra rings a lion, symbolic of the name (Singh) every Sikh carries. Its Regimental Motto is ‘Nischey Kar Apni Jeet Karon’ (I Fight For Sure To Win) and its war cry is ‘Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal’ (He who cries God is Truth, is Ever Happy).
