Respect to the Sikh community. Had the pleasure of teaching (Corp environment) many trainees who taught me a lot about the Sikh ways. Warriors and humane. They feed anyone who needs it, care for their community amd honour their families (though a lot of guys panic about going home with a haircut). Respect is earned. Always earned mine.

Great to see some more of the proper Indian army training rather than the "bollywood" type videos that seem to be a lot more of, but I think that is just a clever way of them making other countries not take them as seriously as they actually are. Being the most decorated unit it the commonwealth is really impressive and I know that those soldiers definitely help in a huge way during the 2 world wars and gaining their independence was obviously a proud moment for the country. I thought it was pronounced as "seek", rather than "sick", but as you said, that might just be a wrong pronunciation because I'm British... While we are talking about this country, I think it's important to wish them well with their fight against Covid as they are having a tough time with it over there. A billion+ people is a lot of people to look after so sending love from Britain to India and I hope you guys stay safe and try your best to fight this virus that has touched all our countries. I can also say to all the India people who read these comments who have family in the UK that I have spoken to many of them who live here and they all say the same thing - they miss home and their families and all want to go home but can't because of the obvious reasons. Back to the video, I have seen videos of the soldiers crawling through those ditches and it is real rounds that get fired over their heads so if the don't stay down, they will be shot. Would never be allowed in the UK, but it is definitely more realistic than getting blanks fired "at" you. Keep up the fight and you will be alright. I have tried on a turbin before and couldn't believe the size of them. Was about the size of 1.5 tennis nets and are put on so neatly it is really impressive. I was told that it was to hold the head hair that wasn't allowed to be cut from birth, but I may be getting that mixed up with the Sikh religion??? One of the oldest religions in the world. Makes Christianity look like it started last week. Love from Britain 🇬🇧🤝🇮🇳

[@exurgemars]

Ethnicity specific regiments came up in India following the British "martial races concept". Most militaristic factions that the Brits had a tough time dealing with during their conquest of India were assimilated into regiments as such. This is why you see Gurkha, Sikh, Rajput, Mahar, Dogra, Kumaon, Garhwal and similar other regiments here in India. Most such units recruit a large number of their jawans from villages specific to the general geographic area where these communities thrive. The officers however may or may not be from the same community. There's a culture within the Indian army officers that they assimilate into whatever culture their men are from. Thus you can have a Madrasi(South Indian/Tamil) officer being as much a Punjabi/Sikh as any other, or a Rajput officer being as much a Gorkha as the men he commands. There is a special take about the Maratha Empire being so notorious that the British refused to give them martial race status within the Royal Indian Army. That however was compensated for when India became independent. From what I remember, one of the Maratha battalions was at a later date converted into a Para battalion, which is quite the honour. A famous catchphrase you'll hear from Indian army troops is, *"Naam, Namak, Nishan",* which equates to "Glory, Loyalty and Regimental Honour", which is everything that an Indian soldier is about.

[@randommadness1021]

Thanks for that. A history to be proud of.

[@9246-q9x]

Lol marathas were the only ones who defeated britishers i.e the first Anglo-maratha war. Numerous times when they tried to enter via sea route defeated by kanhoji angre. Most importantly, they gained control of India from marathas. Marathas served the in both the world wars and even got Victoria cross medals which is the british highest honor. The116th (4 Maratha LI) unit served for full four years in the Mesopotamian theatre and also skilfully dealt with difficult situations in South Kurdistan. In fact, such was their reputation that once a senior British officer was asked, “Who do you think were pick of your lot?” “The Mahratta”, came the unhesitating reply. “I would always like to have a Maratha with me in any scrap.” That aside, a certain amount of distrust also lurked in the minds of British rulers who had previously fought the Marathas for territorial supremacy. The prejudice continued throughout the 19th century, as a consequence of which each Mahratta unit had all classes till 1895 and later on each of those units had a subunit of Deccani Mussalmans. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_race#:~:text=Martial%20race%20was%20a%20designation,'non-martial'%20caste. Read the tribes and groups drop down as well. The Duke of Wellington, after defeating the Marathas, noted that the Marathas, though poorly led by their Generals, had regular infantry and artillery that matched the level of that of the Europeans and warned other British officers from underestimating the Marathas on the battlefield. He cautioned one British general that: "You must never allow Maratha infantry to attack head on or in close hand to hand combat as in that your army will cover itself with utter disgrace".[123] Norman Gash says that the Maratha infantry was equal to that of British infantry. After the Third Anglo-Maratha war in 1818, Britain listed the Marathas as one of the Martial Races to serve in the British Indian Army although it was unclear whether this categorisation referred to the Maratha caste or a subset of some Marathi castes. they disapproved of Maratha utilisation of guerrilla warfare in combat along with their uncharitable and ruthless attitudes. However, racial theories have been discredited. Historian Sikata Banerjee notes a dissonance in British military opinions of the Maratha, wherein the British portrayed them as both "formidable opponents" and yet not "properly qualified" for fighting in the western manner, criticising the Maratha guerrilla tactics as an improper way of war. The Maratha Light Infantry regiment is one of the "oldest and most renowned" regiments of the Indian Army.[130] Its First Battalion, also known as the Jangi Paltan ("Warrior Platoon"),[131] traces its origins to 1768 as part of the Bombay Sepoys.

Respect to Sikhs from Britain! Sikhs are great people, honest, honourable, loyal, brave and charitable. If you have a day off some time go visit the nearest Sikh temple when they are serving food and have a talk to them. Every Sikh temple (Gurdwara) has a kitchen attached (Langar). Every day the Sikhs feed the poor, they don't take any government money for it they raise the money from the Sikh community. They see it as the duty of every Sikh to protect and help the needy regardless of religion. Sikhism is an interesting religion, it was born in the middle of the genocidal push into India by Islam, the Hindu's reacted by creating the Thugs, a genocidal, death worshipping cult of Hindu's who were the ISIS of their time. The Sikh gurus were publicly tortured to death in a variety of gruesome ways but the religion kept strict rules on the use of violence, only in self defence or to protect the weak. It is a religious requirement for every Sikh to be armed at all times, they usually carry a Kirpan, a ceremonial dagger. In countries that forbid carrying weapons, they weld it into the sheath or wrap it so it can't be used.

1. The Indian Army regimental system is similar to Britain, where they have "named regiments" (like the Sikh, or the Jat Regiments), but those are not organized like US brigades; instead, each regiment has a number of battalions assigned to it, so seeing something like "8th Sikh", or "11th Jat", means that those are separate battalions that are assigned to divisions and brigades. For example, there are about 22-24 battalions in both the Sikh and Jat regiments, counting reserves. 2. If you haven't, you should check out T-Rex Arms' video on Liku Tactical, where they took a Japanese Airsofter and got him up to speed with live weapons...Took about 4 hours. Interesting watch.

To your question of - Why is there only a regiment for Sikhs? What happens if you are not a Sikh? To understand this you need to go in to history of India. If you recall India was once a British Colony. British while hiring soldiers for its Army, basically divided Indian and population to two categories - Martial Races and Non-Martial races. Communities and ethnicities which were slightly built physically better or perceived to be better fighters were put in Martial Races and others were put in Non-Martial races. Then Army regiments were created based on this homogeneity. Sikh Regiment is one such regiment. There are many other cast based regiments in Indian Army - Ahir Regiment, Gurkha Regiment, Maratha Light Infantry, Jat Regiment, Dogra Regiment just to name a few. Post Independence India has done away with Martial Races and Non-Martial races theory. Also there are many regiments in Indian army which are not cast based, you can always join them. Also even if the regiment's might be from cast/ethnicity based but the commanding officer will not be from same community. This is to bring in more diversity in the army. But cast or ethnicity based regiments are going to be there in Indian Army. My dad was ex- Indian Army JCO. I asked him why India has not done away with cast based regiments. He basically said - it's all about practicality. Men who come from common cast and ethnic background share a common culture. Culture here could be general interaction mechanism, food, festivals celebrated just to name a few. If you have homogeneity at the regiment level, it becomes easy for the Army to administrate them. India is a very diverse country. What a Sikh (from Punjab in North India) eats for lunch is not as what a guy from Karnataka (one of South Indian state) eats for lunch. They have nothing in common between them - they don't eat same food, celebrate same festivals, greet same way or even speak same language. The only thing that bonds them together is - both of them call them selves Indians proudly.

[@macv8507]

Sikhs are the heart of India.

[@Nonamefriend]

Sikhs are required to keep their hair uncut, so yes it is required that they keep beards as well. That being said, that is for Sikhs that choose to practice their faith. Those with their hair cut (or beards trimmed/shaved) are not actually following the Sikh faith.

As the officer said 'some comes clean shaved ...' it's just because many don't seriously follow the principles of Sikhism. As such, there's no relaxation but it's mandatory for every Sikh to have uncut hair n BEARD of course. After training, many start following proper SIKH rules of having turban n beard(as the officer explained) , it's just because, in training, they constantly reminds soldiers about the great history of Sikhism n the achievements of SIKH REGIMENT 🙏

Nah but as seen by fam and talks in on news , in general , theyve walked in about cuttin their hairs in their infantry to fit their conditions , I dunno what gives em the confidence prolly cuttin their hair.. wtv it is they now hav cut hairs , unshorn and abv all to face the problematic atrocities while on their way home

Caste/Religion-based Regiments were started by beloved "Britishers" in India back in the 18th century. But now, there are no restrictions based on Caste/Religion to join any regiments.

[@bharatindia8956]

wrong! Sikh Regiment's 90% + recruits are from only the Sikh Community... and also there is no other Regiment of the Indian Army based on religion...e.g. there is no Hindu Regiment, Muslim regiment or Christian Regiment... So there maybe some other reason!

[@keshav6530]

[@TheXpeditioner91]

Both Sikh regiment and Punjab regiment come from the same province but while the former recruits only turbaned soldiers, the latter recruits non turbaned soldiers as well. Sikhs are religiously required to keep uncut hair and beard, thus the only 2 regiments allowed to do so in the Indian Army. Indian army soldiers are required to follow dress code even while off duty and there are different types of uniforms, thus wearing one during leisure time

[@freestudycontent8661]

In indian army various regiment named on the basis of caste , religion but anyone irrespective of there caste , religion they can join any regiment . In indian army only Sikhs are allowed to have a pagdi and beard but both should be well maintained according to the rules .

@2:47 looks like lots of fun compared to our range time in Finnish army. First, ski 5 miles to the range. Change your sweaty clothes outside with -4 degrees Fahrenheits, lay down for 8 hrs and ski back to the brigade/barracks. Call it a day afterwards.

[@danydash316]

In Finland is it just the cold weather training you do or finish Military trains for almost all terrains? The Indian Military have the luxury of having availability in India of all different types of terrains that exists from snowy himalayas to tropical jungles so they have soldiers ready for any given terrain that they have to fight. But Finland is mostly cold snowy so how's the training there.

@@danydash316 We have four seasons, hot summer and cold (and dark) winter. If you serve only half a year, you'll get to experience half of the seasons. Actually we don't have mountains. Which is good, because those would mean longer serving time for everybody or one more special forces.

@@vicmac3513 in India minimum is around 1 and a half year for just normal training, some guys go for NDA which may take them for 4 years of just training. Then they go to different warfare schools from jungle gurilla warfare to urban, desert, cold weather mountain warfare training. Then some of them volunteer for commando school and a few of them pass the selections and training then those commandos who have completed their training are the only one that can volunteer for Indian special forces. The training and service period is long because all of them are volunteers and the environment in which indian military operates is hostile, the youngest soldier that died was about 19 who died in January this year while fighting a bunch of terrorists.

For me the most impressive Indian unit: Since the independence of India in 1947, as per the terms of the Britain-India-Nepal Tripartite Agreement, six Gorkha regiments, formerly part of the British Indian Army, became part of the Indian Army and have served ever since. The troops are mainly from ethnic Gurkha community of Nepal. They have a history of courage in battle, evident from the gallantry awards won by Gorkha soldiers and battle honours awarded to Gorkha both before and after joining the Indian Army. They carry their signature, a Kukri knife, with them. A seventh Gorkha Rifles regiment was re-raised in the Indian Army after Independence to accommodate Gorkha soldiers of 7th Gurkha Rifles and the 10th Gurkha Rifles who chose not to transfer to the British Army.

In india, a soldier or a officer gets a option where he can write his 4 choices of regiments prioritizing them, so anyone can join any regiments

[@ranasaab5824]

GC do get chance to choose their favourite regiments but they can list down only 3 not 4. Sometimes they get their favourite unit sometime not because various other factors are also involved their. As per PBOR they don't get any chance to select their favourite unit. It depends upon the area and the recruitment Rallye he was part of.

The straps underneath the chins are the nets for keeping the beard tied and neat (standard SIKH soldier Army issue)...in no other circumstances, a Sikh soldier's beard can be swirling in the wind except when he's asleep in his barracks in the night. there is a 40 days rigorous physical punishment for 40 days where the instructor gives him all sorts of PT punishments for 18 hours of the day, with a full 35Kg backpack and rifle, if any SIKH soldier is found with his facial hair trimmed/cut.

Strap/Net under their chin is to help keep the beard in place and keep it a clean and tidy look. Yes, growing facial hair is a fundamental part of sikh religion. Also, Indian Army has an exclusive Sikh regiment which follows Sikh Ethos, values, war cries and is sort of continuity of Sikh martial practices within the Indian Army. They have their own sikh priest/Chaplan and so on

I didnt know that there was a Sikh unit. I kinda understood that they serve in the military purely as support personnel. At least my first encounter was with British Army Sikh interpreter and HUMINT guy. I also checked out the article on Sikhs in US Army and found that they have been serving since the WW1. Funny thing is that beards in uniform is still a very case by case situation. But there are a lot of Sikhs in the US Army. Very cool info.

In Indian army they do all kind of stuffs not just the support. From tank crews to artillery and infantrymen. There has been a sikh unit since 19th century and check out the battle of saragarhi, one of the world's greatest last stand.

[@kwuiki23]

Actually all this stuff that soldiers tend to do in their training putting stresses through the long axes of the bones of their bodies stimulates osteocytes (stress sensor cells inside the bone) which then stimulate the bone to calcify and become denser and stronger. so technically it is exercising bones and muscles. the thing to keep in mind though is that these changes happen over a longer timeline than changes in the neuromuscular system. but like some of these GI Joe looking guys in the US military that have been able to keep that body type for long periods of time on a bone scan would have pretty strong ass bones for sure that are able to constantly bear and move all the mass these guys carry around day to day.
