\nBattle of Saragarhi<\/span><\/h3>\nNews<\/h5>\n
September 12 marks the\u00a0124th anniversary<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0Battle of Saragarhi<\/strong>\u00a0that has inspired a host of armies, books and films, both at home and abroad.<\/p>\nAbout\u00a0Battle of Saragarhi<\/h5>\n
The Battle of Saragarhi\u00a0<\/strong>is considered as one of the finest last stands in the military history of the world.<\/p>\nThe battle happened in 1897 between the\u00a0British Indian contingent<\/strong>\u00a0comprising 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikhs (now known as Indian Army\u2019s 4th Battalion) who were stationed at Saragarhi\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a010,000 to 12,000\u00a0Afghans Tribesmen<\/strong>.<\/p>\nImportance of Saragarhi<\/h5>\n
Saragarhi was the communication tower between\u00a0Fort Lockhart<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Fort Gulistan<\/strong>. The two forts were in the\u00a0North-West Frontier Province (NWFP)<\/strong>, now in Pakistan. The forts were\u00a0built by Maharaja Ranjit Singh<\/strong>\u00a0but renamed by the British.<\/p>\nSaragarhi helped to link up the two important forts which housed a large number of British troops in the NWFP.<\/p>\n
Reason for celebrating the achievement of Battle\u00a0of Saragarhi<\/h5>\n
Though heavily outnumbered, the 21 Sikh soldiers led by\u00a0Havildar Ishar Singh<\/strong>\u00a0managed to hold the\u00a0Saragarhi\u00a0tower for seven hours till their last breath, killing 200 tribals and injuring 600.<\/p>\nThis bought time for the two other forts to be reinforced and were able to defend themselves upon coming under attack.<\/p>\n
Significance<\/h5>\n
Battle of Saragarhi is the\u00a0only instance<\/strong>\u00a0in the history of warfare where\u00a021 soldiers were posthumously awarded with Indian Order Merit<\/strong>, the highest award given to Indian soldiers at the time (equivalent to today\u2019s Param Vir Chakra).<\/p>\n
\nAnglo Manipur War<\/span><\/h3>\nNews<\/h5>\n
The Government of India has renamed\u00a0Mount Harriet<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Andaman and Nicobar (A&N) Islands<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0Mount Manipur<\/strong>.<\/p>\nReason to rename Mount Harriet named as Mount Manipur<\/h5>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.forumias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/1634812023_image10.png?resize=351%2C493&ssl=1\")
Source: Research Gate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMount Harriet is the third-highest island peak in the A&N Islands. It is the place where Manipur\u2019s\u00a0Maharaja Kulchandra Singh<\/strong>\u00a0and 22 other freedom fighters were imprisoned during the\u00a0Anglo-Manipuri war<\/strong>(1891).<\/p>\nHence, Mount Harriet has been renamed as Mount Manipur to pay tribute to those freedom fighters of Manipur.<\/p>\n
About Anglo Manipur War<\/h5>\n
The\u00a0Anglo-Manipur War<\/strong>\u00a0was an armed conflict between the\u00a0British Empire\u00a0and the\u00a0Kingdom of Manipur. The war lasted between 31 March and 27 April 1891, ending in a British victory.<\/p>\nReason for the Anglo Manipur War<\/h5>\n
In 1886, Surchandra inherited the throne from his father Chandrakirti Singh. During this time, the kingdom of Manipur was not under British rule but had links with the crown through different treaties.<\/p>\n
However, Surchandra\u2019s ascension to the throne was controversial and his younger brothers \u2013 Kulachadra, Tikendrajit \u2013 revolted against him.<\/p>\n
The 1890 coup by the rebel faction removed Surchandra, and proclaimed Kulachandra, the next oldest brother, the king. Surchandra fled to Calcutta seeking British help to reinstate him.<\/p>\n
After this, the British dispatched\u00a0James Quinton<\/strong>, the Chief Commissioner of Assam, with an army to Manipur. His mission was to recognise Kulachandra as the king under the condition that they are allowed to arrest the coup leader Crown Prince Tikendrajit and deport him from Manipur.<\/p>\nThis aggressive imposition of British law in a sovereign state was rejected by the king, precipitating the Anglo-Manipuri War of 1891.<\/p>\n
About the course of the war<\/h5>\n
In the first phase of the war, the British surrendered and their officers \u2013 including Quinton \u2013 were executed in public.<\/p>\n
In the second phase, the British attacked Manipur from three sides and finally captured the\u00a0Kangla Fort in Imphal<\/strong>.\u00a0Prince Tikendrajit<\/strong>\u00a0and four others were hanged by the British, while Kulachandra, along with 22 others, was deported to the Andaman Islands.<\/p>\nSignificance of the Anglo Manipur War<\/h5>\n
In India, this war was viewed as being part of the general uprising against British rule in the country, soon after the Revolt of 1857.<\/p>\n
Moreover, this war also led to Manipur officially becoming a princely state under the indirect rule of the British crown.<\/p>\n
