Battle of Chakdara
Large battle between British/Indian and Pashtun tribesmen in 1897
The Battle of Chakdara was a battle and siege of a British military fort by rebel Pashtun tribesmen during the Siege of Malakand in colonial British India's North West Frontier Province in 1897. Due to the defensive nature of the battle, the event draws parallels with the Battle of Rorke's Drift during the Anglo-Zulu War.
