In the present volume “How Europe in Indebted to the Sikhs?” this kind of projection of a Sikh soldier achieves prominence. After losing their kingdom, they were recruited by the British Army in large numbers to fight for them in Europe and other continents. Since such a profession responds to their urge for adventure, they jointed it in good numbers. In the wake of First and Second World War in the western hemisphere, the British government transported Sikh army to fight for it in different battles against the enemy. It showed exemplary courage, bravery and patience in the battlefield and in the end achieved victory by defeating the mightiest. They fought in trenches, on land, in groups and in individual combats. Even heavy bombardment couldn’t dishearten their resolve to win. In this volume, the arm history of the Sikh soldiers is taking a shape to inspire generations of the Sikhs to learn to live with dignity and to discard any compromise with tyranny and injustice.
