How PUNJAB came to dominate the Army

[VCheng]

Oddly - every other invasion of India besides the British came through the area.
And one can take the general characteristics of the people of the area based all the way on how they behaved when Porus faced off alexander.. even then it was a feudal society and were happy to side with foreign forces so long as their interests were met.

And that is also how the blue eyed genes were left behind.

ppl in this region unfortunately are born sell outs do anything for abit of wealth. ghulam qaum. they fought for the british well who are the british they are ghulams of uncle rothschilds and ppl of indian subcontinent are ghulams of british.

TIPU SULTAN DESERVES RESPECT TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL. he was betrayed by a sell out.

 

[ziaulislam]

except for Waziristan when did people of KPK revolted against the brits?
for Waziristan they have always been at war with someone this or with themselves along tribal lines - not new

Who were the afridi, khatttaks solders in british army ? entire units of pashtuns in the 10s thouands fighting for the brits in both WW 1 and 2? it brought newfound wealth to those areas
lmao feed this BS to someone mate, dont have time for your baloney

Yes bannu and wazristan were two area.
Peshawar was numerously under fire.
Swat had a rebellion

Yes bannu and wazristan were two area.

yeah and they were also at constant tribal conflicts with each other and were involved in every afghan civil war so it makes sense, I mean thats the way thier geography and region is, its oriented toward constant warfare

Peshawar was numerously under fire.
Swat had a rebellion

Muree and surrounding hills regions saw rebellions,
entire sandal bar region saw a rebellion, its much bigger than swat, covers I think 3,4 districts if I remember correctly and covered many clans who united to fight a common enemy
if you want these examples of rebellion, all of pakistan has em more than probably most of south asia, but only unfortunately for rest of the country only waziristan one lasted cause of its geography

when it comes to fighting for the brits in both WW's pashtun soldiers were part of the britsh fighting force in thousands - way more than thier populaton %

Bottom line is most of KPK hazara and even gilgat had rebellion mostly squashed via Punjab man power

If Punjab had a rebellion we may not have seen British rule.. interestingly British were very worried about this as 70% of people in army were from Punjab

Hindu sikh Muslim divide never the less was the key factor

The British Empire actually bombed Waziristan because the rebellion was too big to handle.

I don’t think that ever happened anywhere else in modern day Pakistan.

If Punjab had a rebellion

I literally listed out multiple rebellions- they were all crushed, didnt change shit

we may not have seen British rule.. interestingly British were very worried about this as 70% of people in army were from Punjab

Hindu sikh Muslim divide never the less was the key factor

when punjab had a rebellion it was squashed by the Hindi bhaiyas, or rival clans of Punjab or different religions beefing with each other for dominance mix of all 3 options were used to keep people down - unfortunate weakness

who are we going to blame it on? idk

There was no KPK /NWFP until 1902 and Punjab extended as far as Jellalabad (Afghanistan). All rebellions east of Durand line were considered 'disturbances in Punjab'. The colonial treatment of the Pathans of 'settled areas' was the same as their treatment of other people of Punjab.

NWFP wasn't created on ethnic lines. Hazara and DI Khan were not Pashtun areas, and Pashtuns made up only 37% of the population of the province in 1931 (Awans made 12%, Gujjars 5%).

Okay lol

Punjabis by history has always been the bravest people, tactically sharp, strategically cunning and know the use of technology, weapons , machinery better than anyone else.

The above article says otherwise. Punjab is the home of most number of successful invasions in history.

And that is also how the blue eyed genes were left behind.

There are no blue eye genes in Pakistan, they are all kanji (green) ankhain...or worst gluacoma/cataracts.

@ziaulislam according to colonial records 20,000-30,000 rebels were operating in Sandal bar region alone not counting other rebellions in different regions or different time periods
groups consisting of 5000 guerrillas attacked britsh forces multiple times

If Punjab had a rebellion we may not have seen British rule.

No, the above article doesn't say any such thing about Punjab. The article, however, does mention your "Afghanistan" as the favorite route of invaders from Persia, Europe and Central Asia

 

[M. Sarmad]

He is a bhaiya not an afghan

Said it himself

I doubt that. He is an Afghani arse-licker, a racist bigot who really hates Punjab and Punjabis

 

[HttpError]

Well they were exploited fully by the British
While people in KP rebelled numerous times people of Punjab helped squashing the rebellions ..

Without the sacrifice of punjab queen would have never been able to keep her reign for 200 years

We salute the brave people of Punjab

HAHHA Nice joke.

Punjabis were the original rebels who rebeled and killed the evil Raja Dahir of Sindh.
