Ferozepur, a city founded in the 14th century, holds historical significance for India, particularly its military past. It was a key British military base and is the resting place of freedom fighters Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev. The city also commemorates the Saragarhi Memorial Gurdwara, honoring 21 Sikh soldiers who died fighting in 1897. Ferozepur's cantonment, established in 1839, is linked to the founding of Lawrence Military Asylums, with one still operating as a school. The city's history is intertwined with military figures and personal family connections.
