Download or read book Faithful Fighters written by Kate Imy and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first four decades of the twentieth century, the British Indian Army possessed an illusion of racial and religious inclusivity. The army recruited diverse soldiers, known as the "Martial Races," including British Christians, Hindustani Muslims, Punjabi Sikhs, Hindu Rajputs, Pathans from northwestern India, and "Gurkhas" from Nepal. As anti-colonial activism intensified, military officials incorporated some soldiers' religious traditions into the army to keep them disciplined and loyal. They facilitated acts such as the fast of Ramadan for Muslim soldiers and allowed religious swords among Sikhs to recruit men from communities where anti-colonial sentiment grew stronger. Consequently, Indian nationalists and anti-colonial activists charged the army with fomenting racial and religious divisions. In Faithful Fighters, Kate Imy explores how military culture created unintended dialogues between soldiers and civilians, including Hindu nationalists, Sikh revivalists, and pan-Islamic activists. By the 1920s and '30s, the army constructed military schools and academies to isolate soldiers from anti-colonial activism. While this carefully managed military segregation crumbled under the pressure of the Second World War, Imy argues that the army militarized racial and religious difference, creating lasting legacies for the violent partition and independence of India, and the endemic warfare and violence of the post-colonial world.

This book was released on 2024-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Military History of the Sikhs: From Battle of Bhangani to the World War II" highlights the militarization of Sikhs over a period of three centuries. Starting from the wars of Guru Gobind Singh during the pre-Khalsa phase, the book covers the Sikh inferno under Banda Singh Bahadur. Subsequently, the war tactics of Sikhs during the dark phase of persecution, coupled with effective blitzkrieg strategies, led to the generation of a military potential, which was sufficient to dishevel the forces of a renowned Durrani soldier Ahmad Shah Abdali. Also encompassed is the rise and fall of the Sikh Misls, along with the lesser talked about Sikh battles, against Marathas and Rohillas. Thereafter, a glorious empire was established from Khyber to Aksai Chin under the remarkable leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh through his outstanding Generals like Hari Singh Nalwa, Akali Phoola Singh, etc and later the Khalsa flag even flew in the snowfields of Tibet under the generalship of Zorawar Singh.
Download or read book The Flying Sikh written by Stephen Barker and published by Air World. This book was released on 2022-06-02 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flying Sikh tells the unique story of the only Sikh airman to fly with the RFC and the RAF during the First World War. It is the remarkable account of one man’s struggle to enlist, against discrimination, and then his service as a fighter pilot over the battlefields of Flanders. This book represents the only detailed study of an Indian national enlisting in Britain’s armed forces during the First World War. It is an account of India’s role in the war; the rise of Indian nationalism and the challenges of Indians to take up the status of a commissioned officer in His Majesty’s Armed Forces. Malik started his new life in Britain as a fourteen-year-old public school boy, who progressed to Balliol College, Oxford, before attempting to join the Royal Flying Corps after graduation with friends from university, but was denied a commission. Keen to participate in the war, he served with the French Red Cross in 1916 as an ambulance driver and then offered his services to the French air force. Ultimately, one of his Oxford tutors wrote on Malik’s behalf to General David Henderson, the former head of the RFC, and secured Malik a cadetship Above all though, it is the story of a man who was a county cricketer who played for Sussex and Oxford University, an outstanding golfer and fighter pilot who fought over Passchendaele in the autumn of 1917. Being a devout Sikh, he wore a specially designed flying helmet that fitted over his turban. Malik claimed two kills until he was shot down, crashing unconscious to the ground behind Allied lines. His Sopwith Camel was riddled with over 400 bullet holes. Malik was only one of a small number of Indian nationals who served with the RAF during the war. In later life, Malik became the first Indian High Commissioner to Canada, and then served as the Indian Ambassador to France.

This book was released on 2014-11-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the First World War raged from 1914 to 1918, hundreds of thousands troops fought valiantly and millions of lives were lost. Much has been written about the allies (Britain, France and other European powers, Russia, the United States, Canada) battles with the opposing central powers (Germany, Austria - Hungary, Italy, Turkey) but few know that 1.38 million men from India were also sent to various theatres of war. As many as seven Indian expeditionary forces fought battles far from home. Whether it was the damp, flat fields of Flanders or the burning sands of Mesopotamia, the rocky, cold and windy hills of Gallipoli or unhealthy uplands and stifling jungles of East Africa, Indian soldiers left indelible imprints of their heroism, winning world-wide acclaim. For the first time, this book fills in the abysmal gap in the records of the war. Drawn from archives, regimental histories and other sources, this book tells the story of the tremendous contribution of the Indian corps to the victory of the allied forces.
