Victoria Cross recipient | Parkash Singh V.C | Indian Soldier | For Valour | 1985 

A soldier of the Empire.

My grandfather said the same, served in ww2 from Egypt, Sicily, Italy, France and Germany. To be fair, the Sikhs were, and are, incredible soldiers and warriors.

So do I

You are absolutely right but I'm sure the dreaded word "racist" will pop up. Nothing looks more purpose built than a Sikh in military uniform. Imagine a Sikh regiment and Sikh cavalry escorting the queen down the mall, it would be magnificent. Good people.

@@hughgrection4205 Indeed Hugh, and a magnficient spectacle certainly,................... May I also suggest blue turbans for my Royal Sikhs. The 4th Indian Div, fought alongside our 9th Aust, Div. at El Alamein, There is at least one Sikh officer in the Australian Army,,,,there should be a lot more !!!!! Les Griffiths

Apparently his VC was so taken for granted, his superior officer recommended him for a VC and Bar !

Sikh REGIMENT will never run with Indian officers but ONLY Sikh officers!

AND WHAT DID YOUR PEOPLE DO TO THE SIKHS IN 1984 "SIKH GENOCIDE 1984"

The valuation you speak of was for another Sikh VC. Captain Gian Singh

They didn’t give you freedom per say. India was promised independence after WW2 for allied support during the war. Chandra Bose yes can be categorized as a freedom fighter but the INA contribution was not the entire reason for independence. The majority of INA soldiers were POWS taken by Japan who switched sides. They broke their oaths which they took under government and religious terms. When oaths to serve happened in India they were done with the man’s respective holy book or religious ceremony. In my opinion anyone who can forsake there faith can deceive at any time. Not a good trait. Also the Axis alliance would have destroyed India and the world so joining the Japanese wouldn’t have done anything better for India.

Didn’t ask + ratio

Loyal to the oath the day he took the day he signed up to serve. Oaths were taken and sworn in with the man’s respective holy book or religious ceremony. He went to war alongside over 2 million Indian troops to save the entire world of a Axis Alliance who if was not stopped and defeated would have made the world a horrible place. FYI Parkash Singh V.C is still celebrated to this day at the Sikh Regimental headquarters in India. His picture is still hung proudly on the wall. The post independence Indian Army and government has acknowledged countless times that pre independence soldiers should still be recognized as heroes.

​@@SamsungKat Let me give you our reality again white devil: A traitor of India and the 3rd world. Although not recognised as such in India, which is evidence of how morally inept and set back India really is.

@@StreetDrillayou would rather be under Japanese/ German rule then?
