Infantry Day is celebrated by the Indian Army on October 27th each year to honor the contributions and sacrifices of the infantry, which is the backbone of the Indian Army. The date was chosen to commemorate a significant battle during the 1947-48 Indo-Pak War, known as the First Kashmir War, when an infantry company from the 1st Battalion of the Sikh Regiment successfully repelled an attack by Pakistani forces in the town of Badgam in Jammu and Kashmir.
Infantry Day provides an opportunity to remember and pay tribute to the brave soldiers who serve in the infantry, as they play a crucial role in safeguarding the nation's borders and maintaining security. Infantry units are often the first to engage with the enemy on the front lines, and their valor and dedication are highly regarded.
On this day, various ceremonies and events are held across the country to honor the infantry, and parades, wreath-laying ceremonies, and other activities are organized to showcase the indomitable spirit of these soldiers and the sacrifices they make for their country.
