2011-11-19 22:49:44 Rustam Kahn | 'WWI & WWII British Indian Army'Lets not forget that the bulk of the British Indian Army and its 4 million volunteer army was Hindu and Muslim. Muslims formed the majority of the BIA in WWI whereas the Hindus formed the majority of the BIA in WWII.

2011-11-26 04:28:50 Yam Chand | ' 'WWI & WWII British Indian Army''In BIA Hindus were far outnumbered by Muslim/Sikh/Gurkha combined. Due to their role in 1857 Sepoy Mutiny, British declared Gorkhas, Sikhs and various types of Muslims as "Martial-race"and stopped enlisting communities who fought against British and as a result Muslims formed more than 40%, Sikhs 13%, and Gurkhas 12%. Only remaining 35% were other Indians combined. This was one of the reasons why Gandhi/Nehru/Patel combined agreed division of India into 3 parts, as they couldn't contemplate ruling whole India with their minority soldiers in combined army, as there was a possibility of Coup-de-tat by army, which was later proven by Pak Army.
