Disbandment 
During the 2nd world war, the British Indian Government  pitted the Chamar Regiment against the Japanese Imperial Army and Indian National Army, headed by Mutaguchi Renya and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Many Indian Prisoners of War before first March 1943 (formation of Chamar Regiment) joined Netaji; the most prominent member from the Chamar Regiment was Captain Mohan Lal Kureel. However British Indian Army never faced defeat since formation of Chamar Regiment, i.e. 1 March 1943. In 1946  the regiment denied to fight against subash chandra bose headed Indian national party that led to its disbanding by the British government. However On 15 August 1945, Japan surrendered, with the surrender documents finally signed at Tokyo Bay on the deck of the American battleship USS Missouri on 2 September 1945, ending the war. Since then, many Dalit and non-Dalit leaders like Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan, RJD leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh, Congress lawmaker Udit Raj, and Rajesh Bagha, the Chairman of Punjab S.C Commission, have suggested that the Chamar Regiment be re-raised.
