Would have been a bit of an issue if they’d decided to only fight for where they lived and for themselves though wouldnt it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You ain’t one of those “black history IS British history” types are you ? Are you confused ? Blck history ? Sikhs aren’t black. They were serving troops in the British army fighting for us...... including in the trenches in Europe ? What did that have to do with them ? You’ll have a fair struggle making the claim that the history of folk wearing a British uniform and fighting as part of the British army ...... isn’t British history just because they aren’t white so you don’t like them.

If it was just a little one off nod to the darkies nobody would give a shit, but it’s constant and relentless and all pervasive in every walk of life. I bet nobody in India thought “hold it, better make sure we represent the white bloke” Whats it doing there is the point !……because I think we all know and it has f**k all to do with being grateful to anyone for the war. What next?…..Orange Parades making sure catholics are properly represented ? Sinn Fien conference making sure there’s a few Paratroopers kicking about for good measure ? f**k me, we owe our life to wogs don’t we ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepChaser 8,089 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 It’s funny cos now you do just sound like someone who just had a problem with the colour of someone’s skin. So if a man fought and died for us, in a British uniform we shouldn’t respect his death because he wasn’t white ? But if a fella died and was white doing same thing then we respect his death ? Are you saying that the the actions of the Sikh troops was less worthy of celebration and remembrance than their white counter parts ? Where does that leave my family members ? If what they did less valued and not worth remembering because the men they commanded were not white ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That includes an awful lot of turban wearing Sikhs. Like it or lump it, it’s not virtue signalling .... it’s fair and right we remember them. It’s not about diversity it’s about fair representation. And Sikhs ain’t black mate. Its Remembrance Day every year whats different this year that we now have to whack some turbans on the fallen soldier cut outs ?......its ok dont be afraid to say it.....diversity thats what........diversity that we never asked for. " Sikhs aint black mate "........i know this i have my own eyes !...my point was that in a city that is now majority non white there was literally none paying tribute this morning....again,dont be afraid to say it......they dont respect what we respect. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SheepChaser 8,089 Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Don’t take this the wrong way but you lads are f***ing clueless on this. You’re letting your own prejudice blind you to facts. Not like you. We were more than happy for Indian troops to fight our war alongside us. And you don’t want to remember or respect them because they are non white. Cant really even begin to argue with that, but f**k me I bet if you went back and spoke to those veterans or those folk who served alongside them..... they wouldn’t agree with you.
