The Forgotten Sikh Soldiers in the British Indian Army
The Akshay Kumar starring film "Kesari" will be out in theatres on March 21. It is based on the true story of the Battle of Saragarhi, where 21 Sikh soldiers bravely fended off thousands of Pashtun tribesmen for hours. They were defending a fort for the British empire. Why is there so little recognition for Sikh soldiers in the British Indian army? 📽⚔👳

04/04/2019 12:3221 Sikh soldiers fought ' thousands of Afghans' ?! That itself speaks of the fantasy when all allied trained, weaponised terrorist Judeo Christian NATO forces could not defeat Afghans, the graveyard of so called ' Empires'. Absolutely shameless propaganda flushed down by facts of history .

03/28/2019 09:51Sikhs and Gurkhas,are more recognised,outside India,because the freedom fighters of India(Gandhi and party) portrayed them,as British defenders !

03/28/2019 09:08Here I am not mentioning about the whole community because our history have many chapters where the Britishers used Sikhs, Pathans etc. in their army against each other. In this scenario Sikhs were the Aggressors and fighting for the Britishers whereas Pathans were the freedom fighters. The british soldiers had advanced weapons compared to the tribal freedom fighters and leverage of shooting from a height still the Pathans were able to capture the fort after loosing 200-400 freedom fighters. It's a pity that aggressors are shown as hero's in this move. So who ever fought on behalf of the Britishers be it Sikhs or Pathans, they were the aggressor.
