The British Martial Race Theory

[Bleh]

There was no concept of India back then , had the Indian kings ordered the soldiers to kill some unarmed men they eould have simply done the same otherwise their heads would be on the roll. For the common man (the shudras and avrnas) whether it was British or Indian kings everyone was same.

That's just British propaganda. Our own 1857 propaganda statements sound pretty Indian to me... Maybe a nation state wasn't there, ie, Tantia Tope probably wouldn't consider Ladakhis as their own ilk although they were within the Empire, but the idea of Firangi occupying Indians was pretty prevalent in the then literature we have since 1800 atleast.

Martial race theory while it was developed in the sub-continent, it was applied in africa as well by the brits.

just like concept of caste, Martial race theory must also be having some european origin, since colonialism apart from primary purpose of bleeding the colonised land dry, it is also about supplanting native thought processes with ideas beneficial to coloniser's worldview to aid in bleeding the native land dry.

if i am not wrong, there is an AIT version for africa as well.

drives UBER in US/UK and sings of marshall race on twitter.
BTW this punjabi heritage craze of porkies and sikhs will eventually become a headache for us.

Its not only Sikhs who glorifies themselves of their martial race.Jats Rajputs all call themselves martial race .But kill ratios of them in battles from historical era doesn’t backs it up. I know many of you guys will be furious but its the fact.There is nothing like martial race,Gorkhas Sikhs Jats Rajputs all had their fare share of defeats.
Despite getting freedom in 1947 we are still believing in martial race theory...

If there is no such thing like marital races then the jawan induction have to be evenly distributed among all the states but when we look at the map it says onwards that history, terrain of a place and society always works in physical and mental toughness of a man

It's chooran to make the wafadar soldier tribes believe that they are speshul and above the average masses so that they can pull the trigger effortlessly when culling said masses

Anglos first captured Bengal, you think the Marshall race Rajput, Jatt, Sikh, Punjabi Mussalman, Afghan Pathan etc were found there?

Who were the troops that Anglo used to conquer rest of the country? surely not all were goras?


Any tribes taking part in the 1857 revolt meanwhile was not "martial race" because they rose in rebellion against white master

Similar story can also be extrapolated to the African scenario.

Exactly... It was Telengi infantry of Madras that crushed the Maratha Empire.

Bihahri & Awadhis that did for the Sikh Empire. No wonder they're salty about this.

That actually had more do so with cultural norms & custom.

Nepali Gurkhas for example dream of joining the Army of UK for much higher pay, those who don't make it, join India (in words of a British Gurkha from an interview I watched). Odias dream of working in a steel smelter or some other industry. They deem military as for the, erm.. stupider sections of the society who don't have the brains to become engineer (again from words of Odias that I'm surrounded with).
This the difference in numbers.
