Tarikh Episode 582
In this episode Tarikh Nikhil talks about Infantry Day in India which is observed on October 27th each year. It is a day dedicated to celebrating the achievements and sacrifices of the Indian Army's infantry, which forms the backbone of the country's armed forces. Infantry Day is a significant occasion as it marks the landing of the first Indian infantry troops in the Jammu and Kashmir region during the 1947-48 war with Pakistan.
On October 27, 1947, the Indian Army's 1st Battalion of the Sikh Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Dewan Ranjit Rai, was airdropped at Srinagar Airport to repel the tribal invaders supported by the Pakistani Army. Their swift action and bravery in defending Srinagar played a crucial role in thwarting the invasion and protecting the region.
The accession of Kashmir is a pivotal event in Indian history that transpired in 1947. As British India gained independence and was subsequently partitioned into India and Pakistan, princely states like Jammu and Kashmir had the choice to join either nation. Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler of Jammu and Kashmir, faced a challenging decision.
The Maharaja, a Hindu, ruled over a predominantly Muslim state, which added complexity to his choice. Fearing communal violence and tribal invasion from Pakistan, he decided to accede to India. This decision was formalised in a letter of accession signed on October 26, 1947, and Indian troops were flown into Srinagar to defend the state.
The accession triggered a series of conflicts, including the first India-Pakistan war over Kashmir in 1947-48. The issue has since remained a point of contention and has led to several wars and ongoing disputes between India and Pakistan.
