Sikh Motorcycle Club UK taking part in Remembrance Day service held at Victoria Park Leicester.
Sikhs have made a long and valuable contribution to the British Army and a unique respect for each other’s courage, skill and determination has led to a proud, shared military heritage. On 12th September 1897 in an ultimate test of devotion to duty, 21 British Indian Army Sepoys (Sikh soldiers) defended the Saragarhi outpost in the hills of the North West Frontier Province (now Pakistan but then part of British India), against 10,000 Afghan tribesmen.
Rather than surrender, the soldiers fought to the death against impossible odds for nearly 10 hours with basic ammunition and bayonets. Although the outpost was lost, the Afghans later admitted to having lost around 180 of their soldiers with many more wounded, demonstrating the expertise of the Sikh warriors. To honour the selfless commitment and courage of these Sikh soldiers they were posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the highest gallantry award of the time.

Leicester Nagar Kirtan - 20th Nov 2022
Thousands of Sikhs made their way through Leicester city centre this weekend to celebrate Nagar Kirtan.
The religious procession celebrates the birthday of the founder and first guru of Sikhism, Nanak Dev Ji.
The parade started on East Park Road just before midday on Sunday before making its way through the city to the Gurdwara on Holy Bones – with dozens of langar stalls along the route offering free food and refreshments.
The procession, which has been held in Leicester since 1986, is attended by up to 10,000 Sikhs each year.
Thank you to all of the GTB Gurdwara and GNG Leicester management team and sevadaars.
