In Sept 2001, the Coventry city council approved plans for a 22ft stone tower dedicated to Sikhs and Sikhism. It is believed to be the first Sikh memorial in the country. The tower will be topped with a stainless steel symbol of the Sikh Regiment. The monument will be put up on the roundabout at the Stoney Stanton Road junction, a prominent position on the city's north-south road. Sikh community leaders in the city had suggested the memorial plan in 1999 as part of the 300th anniversary celebrations of the faith. Amrik Singh Dhesi, a trustee of Coventry's Indian community centre, said : "It is a visible monument so everybody can talk about it to their parents and they will know the Sikh history and that Sikhs fought with the British army in the two world wars." 36 Sikh Battalion Memorial, Samana, NWFP, Pakistan. The obelisk shaped memorial at Samana Ridge near Fort Lockhart was built to honour the 21 soldiers of the 36th Battalion of the Sikh Regiment (now 4 Sikh) who defended the Saragarhi Post to the last man against 10,000 hostile tribesmen in 1896. The epic 106 year old saga of valour is etched in military history as one of the five greatest battles ever fought. The valour and gallantry displayed by the Sikhs has been summed up in a verse: "On Saragarhi's ramparts died, the bravest of the brave. Beneath Saragarhi's ruined walls, they found a fitting grave. For Saragarhi bears the fame, they gave their lives to save." Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara and Epitaph at Ferozepur - the home of 4 Sikh Battalion. Saragarhi Cairn (pic: Bharat-Rakshak) To commemorate the gallantry of the twenty-one, two historic shrines and beautiful momorials were built, one each at Amritsar and Ferozepur by the Government. A cairn was built on the actual site where the Saragarhi Post once stood. The cairn may have crumbled and the men associated with the historic battle long gone, but over a century later, the story of this little known but exemplary battle continues to be heard, read and taught around the world.
