Battle of Balakot
The Battle of Balakot was fought between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Syed Ahmad Barelvi in Balakot, Mansehra District in 1831. Barelvi declared jihad against the Sikhs and established a camp in Balakot.
Battle
Along with Shah Ismail Dehlvi and 800 tribesmen, he attacked the Sikhs at dawn. The battle lasted all day. The Sikh soldiers eventually beheaded Syed Ahmad Barelvi, and hundreds of his followers were martyred.
This battle was seen as a massive loss for the Afghans as it cut off their route to Kashmir.[5][6][7]
