11th Sikh Regiment

The 11th Sikh Regiment was a distinguished infantry regiment of the British Indian Army, established in 1846. Renowned for its bravery and valor, the regiment originated as a part of the British efforts to consolidate control in the Punjab region following the Second Anglo-Sikh War. Throughout its service history, the 11th Sikh Regiment participated in key military campaigns, including the Indian Rebellion of 1857, World War I, and World War II, earning a reputation for fierce loyalty and discipline. Post-independence, the regiment was integrated into the Indian Army, continuing its legacy and traditions. Today, the 11th Sikh Regiment remains a symbol of pride within the Sikh community and the broader Indian military landscape.
