| The
District Ferozepur is situated at India Pakistan border, at the east side
Faridkot district, Moga district and at the south side Muktsar District
is situated. The River Sutlej separates it from the Ferozepur and Kapurthala
districts on the north east and on the south west side the Ganganagar district
of Rajasthan touches the boundaries of Ferozepur. The united stream of the
Sutlej and Beas generally separates it from the Amritsar district in the
north-west, and farther down from the Pakistan with the exception of some
areas on each side of the river. Ferozepore is an ancient city situated close to the present day Indo-Pakistan border. It is believed to have been founded by Ferozeshah Tughluq in the 14th century. Another version claims that Ferozepur was founded by a Bhatti chief called Feroze Khan. However, the first version is more widely accepted as Ferozeshah Tughluq had a passion for building new cities and renaming old ones especially after his own name. Three heroic martyrs of India`s freedom struggle Shaheed Bhagat Singh and his associates Shaheed Rajguru and Shaheed Sukhdev have their final resting place on the banks of the river Sutlej in Ferozepur. On March 23, 1931, despite popular protest, these three heros were executed in Lahore and were stealthily cremated in the dead of night near Ferozepore. They were killed for raising the flag of revolutionary terrorism against the British, displaying their deep patriotism and defiance for the foreign rulers till the very end. The important places located in Ferozepur are Saragarhi Memorial, Ferozepur , Punjab Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara has been built in the memory of 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36 Sikh Regiment who fell in heroic defence of Fort Saragarhi in Wazirstan on September, 12 1897 while defending the fort against an attack of ten thousand Pathans. The 36 Sikh Regiment was raised at Ferozepur , Punjab on April 1887 under the command of Colonel Cook in January 1897 the Regiment was sent to Fort Lock Hard of which Saragarhi and Gulistan  were
important posts On the morning of September, 12 about ten thousand pathans
surrounding Saragarhi and taking positions within one thousand yards of
the fort opened fire. There were only 21 Sikh soldiers in the fort who returned
fire as outside help was out of question. Sepoy Gurmukh Singh Hallo-graphed
to his commander Colonel Naughten that their fort had been attacked by the
enemy. On order from the commander these soldiers continued to return fire.
The battle continued for seven hours and then the Sikhs fell one by one.
At about 2 PM the Garrison began to run out of ammunition and a request
was made to the colonel for more supplies. NO supplies came but the soldiers
were told to stick to their guns. In the meantime the Pathans asked the
Sikh soldiers to surrender but they preferred to die fighting. In the end
the leader of the brave band Havildar Ishar Singh was left alone. With consummate
coolness regardless of the bullets whistling around his head Havildar Ishar
Singhhad kept up haliographic communication with Fort Lockhart. According
to a contemporary Army Authority Havildar Ishar Singh the only man alive
and unwounded out of the little band taking his rifle placed himself in
the front of a doorway leading from the room into which the enemy had forced
their way, prepared to sustain the fight along calmly and steadily. He loaded
his rifle and delivered the fire. Unconquered even in death the Sikh War
cry rang from his dying lips in defiance of the foe. Then followed silence
broken only by the crackling of flames. The memorial Gurdwara at Ferozepur was built at a cost of Rs, 27,118 by the Army Authorities to honour these brave soldiers. The gurudwara was declared open in 1904 by Sir Charles Pevz, the then Lieutenant Governor of Punjab. Every year on September, 12 a religious congregation is held in the morning while reunion of Ex-servicemen in the evening. The Barki Memorial , Ferozepur , Punjab  The
Barki Memorial Ferozepur , Punjab was constructed in 1969 to perpetuate
the memory of the soldiers of the 7 Infantry Division who made the Supreme
sacrifice on the battle field in 1965 and paved the way for the fall of
Barki a town situated at a distance of 15 miles South East of Lahore. The
foundation stone of this memorial at Ferozepur , Punjab was laid by Lt Gen
Harbakhsh Singh VC on September 11,1969 and unveiling ceremony was performed
by Lt Gen HK Sibal MVC. The memorial which now forms a part of Saragarhi
Complex has a pillar in the centre, a Patten tank and a Barki mile stone
on the south and a water fountain on the North The pillar is 27 feet high
and is built of red and white sand stone and gneise. The mouldings and relief
carvings are in the classical Indian architectural style. The fountain denotes
symbolically that the memory of those who laid down their lives will for
ever remain green and lush by an abundant spray of water. National Martyrs Memorial Hussainiwala , Ferozepur , Punjab National Martyrs Memorial Hussainiwala , Ferozepur , Punjab depicts an irrepressible revolutionary spirit of three National Martyrs namely S Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev who lit eternal flame of liberty by smilingly embracing martyrdom for the motherland. S Bhagat Singh and  BK
Dutt threw a Bomb in the Central Assembly hall New Delhi on April, 8 1929
to record their protest against the British rule in India. He and his two
brave comrades Rajguru and Sukhdev were tried for shooting a British Police
Officer Mr Saundras on the 17th December, 1928. As a result death sentences
were awarded to these three revolutionaries. Following a hasty trial of
the Lahore conspiracy case they were executed a day earlier than the hanging
scheduled in the Central Jail Lahore at 7.15 PM on March 23,1931 The entire
of Lahore was in the grip of National fervor and there were apprehensions
of revolt. The Jail authorities broke the back wal of the Jail and secretly
brought the dead bodies of S Bhaghat Singh and comrades here, on this spot
at the bank of the river Sutlej for an unceremonial cremation. Mr B K Dutt
died in Delhi on 19th July 1965 and as per his last will he was also cremated
here. Shane-E-Hind , Ferozepur , Punjab This 42 feet long, 91 feet wide and 56 feet high Shan-e-Hind designed by chief Architect, Punjab is a fine reply to 30 feet high Fakhr-E-Pak constructed on the Pakistan side about 30 years ago. |
