Usman Enclave is a residential colony for ex-army men, at Aliganj in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is named after Brigadier Mohammad Usman who was the highest-ranking officer of the Indian Army killed in the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947. As a Muslim, he became a symbol of India's inclusive secularism. Constructed in 1982, Usman Enclave is now shared by both army-men and citizens.
