Saragarhi Challenge Polo Cup-2011
114 years ago in 1897, under the British flag, 21 Sikhs fought to death against 10,000 Afghanis in the Battle of Saragarhi. Sikh military personnel and Sikh civilians commemorate this battle every year on 12th September as Saragarhi Day. Saragarhi Challenge Polo Cup has been instituted in 2010 by the Anglo Sikh Heritage Trail, a UK based charitable body to commemorate the desperado fighters when the match in its inaugural edition was played in London and the second edition happened in 2011 in New Delhi.
