In 'Indians in the First World War', Aravind Ganachari explains how British invoked racist theories to justify why 'untouchables' were of little use to them.
Pakistan aimed to convey a message to the West about its counterterrorism efforts and show China that it has control over the CPEC routes. However, both messages fell flat.

On 21 Oct, a buzz went up that the govt had released full list of gallantry award recipients along with Op Sindoor citations. I put an AI caddy on the job. It took me into a never-ending rabbit hole.
Majority of Indians (even in 2020) are unfit for joining Army. In older times India was poverty-stricken and only a handful of ruler classes were any better. Races (Civilizations) which were stronger, smarter and advanced ruled the primitive races. Why are we Indians so offended by this? This is a natural. This is how things in nature work. Stronger eats the weak. Indians must realise that they are weak and primitive race. Modern world is ruled by western civilization. India was never a rich country. Almost 95% of the population lived a destitute life.
Ha!! Ha!! Indian Hindu civilization was one of the most advanced civilizations on the planet!! White British Christians were considered as uneducated & uncivilized people!!
The west robbed Hindu, Chinese sciences & claim them as their own & call them discoveries!! The same was done by Muslim Arabs when they exported Hindu math & science to Europe!!
People like you are at best communists!! The same commies who are still paid or brainwashed by enemies like #CCP China & Jihadis to talk CRAP & act against Hindus & this nation!!
what a load of crap this report is . the British ruled india with a HANDFUL of men compared to the population of Hindus muslims Sikhs. All of them produced brave soldiers who were WILLING to follow their British and indian officers into battle. Then could have shot them in the back as they lead they men into battle but they didn’t and the officers had full confidence in they troops that they would follow and do they best to prove how brave they were. if the British empire was such an evil thing why o why do people from all over the world do they utmost to come and live under the EVIL British way of life ? why ? because the British way of life is the safest the most free and protected and most respected way of life regardless of race ,caste religion. The British never turned they back on the indian soldiers the indian population BOOTED the British out of indian. They NO LONGER wanted the British so you cant blame the British for that . wake up to history.
M. K. Gandhi, Ballabhbhai Patel in Gujarat, and Surendra Nath Banerjea jumped to make enrollment of men for the British army with the outbreak of WW-I a common cause with the alien rulers and promoted their efforts in this behalf. I invite attention of readers to what Banerjea wrote in his over-hyped autobiography, A Nation in Making [1925].
“The war had broken out in 1914, and an appeal was made for recruitment to the people of Bengal. I went about from town to town urging my countrymen of the better classes to enlist as soldiers and fight for the Empire, which was in danger. I addressed more than thirty meetings in different parts of the province…To me, these recruitment meetings were a novel experience. I found myself for the first time in my public life standing side by side, and on the same platform, with high Government officials, pleading for a common cause, and receiving from them the courtesy for which I was hardly prepared. We were able to raise something over six thousand recruits, mostly from among the respectable classes in Bengal. The quality of the recruits, it is said, did not always come up to the mark…”
Note the phrases, e. g., better classes and respectable classes which mean in Bengal parlance, upper castes only. So the great, overrated nationalist had Brahmans, Baidyas and Kayasths—the tiny bhadralok only— in view for enrollment in the Imperial army. But we, however, appreciate his honesty to admit that they “did not always come up to the mark” which perhaps explains why Bengali all over the world have earned name as non-martial race and stamped out as unfit for warfare. The stigma persists even today.
Banerjea along with 500 youth of good health drawn from the same respectable classes went to the Army authorities for enrollment as honorary soldiers to fight for the Empire, when in 1885 tension gripped the Anglo-Russian relations over capture of an Afgan Fort by Russia on Afgan-Russian borders.
This was mere 11 years after he was sacked from the ICS in 1874!
It’s worthwhile to mention what C. J. O’Donnell, ICS who was the Superintendent of Census of Bengal in 1891 wrote in his report thus.
“The tall and long limbed Chandals” were “the active and successful enemy of the Aryan invaders” and that is why “there is little trace of actual conquest by the early Hindu kings beyond the [river] Bhagirathi , except the riparian districts along its banks.” The Chandals were rechristened in 1911 as Namasudras, the largest untouchable caste of Bengal. They were undoubtedly the most suitable stuff for army though, they were neglected.
World over the soldiers do not come from Luitens, Manhattan, HidePark or Colaba. Traditionally the backbone of Army has come from the villages and from the amongst the farmers, to give it colour of cast is incorrect. Even during the Maratha and Peshwa times most of the soldiers were mobilised for war only they were no professionals. When the entire village was mobilised it came with the full spectrum services the cooks, the labour the traders with dual purpose functions .
But the Britishers did it after 1857 intentionally. By this time they came understand one thing that unless Indians are divided by the poison of cast, creed& religion, Indian would be next to possible to win & rule.
So, it was a obvious plan of the British Kingdom to break Indian societies on the basis of castism, so that they can manipulate us to rule easily.
Can’t understand the logic of this article and why Indian has to accounted British when it come to history, Military or philosophy, Britishers ruled in India for merely 200 years, India has its own rich history, the point is here low caste were deprived from joining military doesn’t scientifically prove that they weren’t brave, Now the much more clearer picture through DNA research is came into light which says Native Indian to whom Eurashian aka upper class termed as low class has the more bravery gens than any race in India while foreigners upper class Eurashian walk away in emergency while lower class remain rigid, Bima koregaon battle and chakrawarti King of King Ashoka is the example of it. Remain is history.
Writer of this article should have read about the battle of Bhima Koregaon first, where a handful of Dalit soldiers (834 to be exact) defeated 28000 strong Peshwa army.
The traditional lap dogs of the British were the Muslims, communists & saleable traitors who have white blood running in their veins!!
They were also the ones who have carried out Hindu genocide through out history & also & created Pakistani/Bangladeshi in Hindu-stan!! They are also the ones who call themselves secular!!

I think we ran the Empire quite wisely. Read John Masters The Ravi Lancers. An excellent novel on the subject.
Caste based regiments in the Indian army need to be abolished. Hopefully we can prod our neighbor to the West to do with the same as well.

What has to do with low caste/high caste in 2020??A lap dog remains a lap dog.
The traditional lap dogs of the British were the Muslims, communists & saleable traitors who have white blood running in their veins!!
They were also the ones who have carried out Hindu genocide through out history & also & created Pakistani/Bangladeshi in Hindu-stan!! They are also the ones who call themselves secular!!
