The Battle of Taragarh was fought in 1822 by the Sikh forces led by Amar Singh Majithia and the Afghan tribesmen led by Mohammad Khan Tarain.
Background and Battle
[ edit ]
Diwan Ram Dayal was the governor of Hazara until his death in the Battle of Gandgarh.[5] Seeing this, Amar Singh Majithia was installed as the new governor of the Hazara region by Maharaja Ranjit Singh right after the battle.[6] He did not fight any major engagements until when Mohammad Khan Tarain decided to clash against him. He had assembled an army which consisted of Dhund. Tareen, Tanoli and Karlal tribesmen.[7] After an intense battle at Taragarh, the Sikhs successfully inflicted defeat upon the Afghans and routed them.[8]
Aftermath
[ edit ]
After the battle, Amar Singh with a few Sikhs went to a nearby waterbody to drink and bathe. A body of Karlals attacked them and killed every Sikh, including Amar Singh.[9] [10] [11] [12]
