150 Years: Recounting Untold History
Posted by jaysingh_01 Apr 27, 2007 09:14 pm
well i did a scan of the article but one thing i did read was about sikh princes `betraying` the efforts of the sepoy mutiny...i would like to add Sikhs never looked upon those sepoys with great regard becuase the british used those same sepoys to help outnumber and fight the Sikhs in the two sikh-anglo wars..so the sikhs really didnt care for their rebellion and never really were interested in helping those same sepoys....

i dont know if thats a great excuse or not, im very much against the divide and rule policy, and if anyone could stand up to the british it was India united, but its really a shame, and its a bigger shame that british manufactured religious hatred to the level of partition... maybe one day all will see beyond this and unite once again..imagine a united punjab and bengal once more
