MUST READ. . .ROLE OF SIKH REGIMENT
Sikhs contribute to less than 2% of India’s population. But they contribute to 15% of all ranks in the Indian army and 20% of its officers. A little math shows that Sikhs are 10 times more likely to belong in the Indian Army than any other Indian. Sikhs also contribute the highest number of women soldiers and officers in the Indian Army right from the time of the British Indian Army.
It is no wonder that The Sikh Regiment is believed to be the most courageous, powerful and skilled regiment in the Indian Army.

Achievements: 73 Battle Honours, 14 Victoria Crosses, 21 first class Indian Order of Merit (equivalent to the Victoria Cross), 15 Theatre Honours and 5 COAS Unit Citations besides 2 Param Vir Chakras, 14 Maha Vir Chakras, 5 Kirti Chakras, 67 Vir Chakras and 1596 other gallantry awards.The Sikh Regiment remains the most decorated in the Indian military, with 14 Maha Vir Chakra (which are equivalent to the American Medal of Honor) and 1674 other gallantry awards to its name.
HITLER had given a speech for the Sikhs to join the Nazis seeing the strength and will of the regiment whom the Nazis referred to as the “Black Devils/Beasts” derived from their fighting capabilities.

The following was written by a soldier called Indar Singh – “It is quite impossible that I should return alive. Don’t be grieved at my death, because I shall die arms in hand, wearing the warrior’s clothes. This is the most happy death that anyone can die.” That is bravery!
