October 27 is celebrated as Infantry Day by the Indian Army as it was on this day that an infantry company of the first battalion of the Sikh regiment was airlifted from Delhi to Srinagar to liberate Kashmir from the invading tribes who were supported by the Pakistan Army and the action was ordered after king Hari Singh signed the instrument of accession acceding J and K to India.
