Indian Victory, not Afghan due to the fact that the Afghans couldn’t capture the Fort. 123.24.196.134 ( talk) 07:54, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
I suggest that this battle be classified as a Pyrrhic Victory as the Afghans suffered heavy losses assaulting the fort and even though they won, they lost valuable time, allowing the British to recapture the fort. Romulus Cyrus ( talk) 13:01, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
This is regarding a WP:SPA ( User:Gurdas Singh atwal) who disrupted multiple articles with original research, fake refs, and unreliable sources about Mazhabi Sikhs. They started editing on 18 November 2023 and got blocked for a month for sockpuppetry on 27 November 2023. But they badly mangled multiple articles during such a short span. As this is one of those articles, I am explaining the disruptive edits they made to this article:
So I will revert their disruption, as they simply dumped a large amount of original research by citing fake refs or unreliable sources. They also disrupted other articles before getting blocked. So I will also notify them about WP:GS/CASTE.
Finally, this battle was fought by the 36th Sikhs which was a single-class regiment of Jat Sikhs. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] This fact is not even disputed by any reliable source.
PS: Beware of the WP:MIRRORS that may have appeared between 26 November and today, as these bad edits have remained here during that period.

RegentsPark, this article needs extended-confirmed protection for at least a short span, as the current level of protection has failed to stop disruption. - NitinMlk ( talk) 22:03, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

The name of Sepoy Uttar Singh in the list of Sikh soldiers needs to be changed to Sepoy Uttam Singh. The references below all confirm that his name was Uttam. I also happen to know this as a descendant.
