Freedom Fighters of Punjab



Punjab had made great sacrifices in the freedom struggle of India and it is full of Memorials to such martyrs and also to the heroes of INDO-PAK WARS.

Jallianwala Bagh Martyr's Memorial Amritsar:
Unprovoked massacre of peaceful people by Brig-En Dyer had created a watershed in the history of freedom struggle in India when even peaceful leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, instead of asking for dominion status within the British Empire had begun to agitate for complete freedom for India from the British rule. Queen Elizabeth and her husband placed a wreath here on 14th Oct.,1997.

Martyrs: Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru Memorial, Ferozepur
They were such popular heroes that the Imperial Govt. executed them stealthily at Lahore and their bodies were cremated on the bank of river Sutlej almost a hundred km away.

The Sargarhi Memorial at Ferozepur
It commemorates the battle which took place on Samna Ridge of the Hindu Kush and Suliaman ranges in 1897 when 21 soldiers of the 36th Sikh (later 4 Sikh) regiment had died fighting to the last man against a several times greater force of the local Chiefs. The history of this battle is taught in the French Schools and forms part of the 8 narratives of collective bravery published by UNESCO.
