The Battle of Aliwal was fought on 28 January 1846 between the British and Sikh forces in northern India (now Punjab, India).[6] The British were led by Sir Harry Smith,[7] while the Sikhs were led by Ranjodh Singh Majithia. Britain's victory in the battle is sometimes regarded as the turning point in the First Anglo-Sikh War.
