≈300,000 Sikh soldiers served in the British Indian Army during WW2. They fought in Europe, North Africa, and Asia. The Indian Army became the largest all-volunteer Army in history with 2.5 million personnel. Fighting against fascism with other British subjects.
Marc is a dick.
Canada’s Remembrance Day postage stamp has a “Canadian” Sikh soldier on it. This is in very poor taste. 67,000 white men died in Canadian Armed Forces in World War 1, 600,000 white men served. 10 Sikhs served in the 4 year war, but they get the postage stamp. Disgraceful. 🧵
