The Sikh solider in the front middle was my great grandfather. His name was Bishan Singh Dhaliwal and was a lieutenant colonel in the British army and had 50,000 Sikh troops under his command. He fought in the french trenches and in Basra, Iraq against the Germans during world war 1 and also participated in The Burma conflict during ww2.
Edit: He survived all those conflicts and for his service was awarded 200 acres of land from the British. He then built a school for children but lost it all during the partition in 1947. The school he built however is still active today in Pakistan.
Respect
Thanks to your great grandfather .

Wow man
Respect ❤️
From Canada.
Middle aged black Canadian born and raised, Sikhs in my entire life have never given me any grief or problems, they have been friendly and given me respect.
A very descent people.
💪💪💪 appreciate u
Can you imagine fighting wars at 10 years old then becoming a warlord by the age of 17 then a king at 20. Maharaja Ranjit Singh was amazing.
maybe its about time we clean up our rooms
Absolutely correct Great king🙏
Let’s not forget that he had many wives.
Had sex with many women.
And was a heavy drinker.
As a leader - great.
But as a Sikh - far from it.
@@tfs7033 yeah that’s true he was a great leader that followed many Sikh values but ignored many Sikh values

@My choice ... There should. BE logic in what you think and do. Even though we should keep some things secret and silent but our actions manifest our intentions.
@Manzoor Hekmatyar It's just light hearted fun and that's only for uneducated Filipinos, those who are educated are not racist, please don't start a flame war between Filipinos and Indians since I like Indians very much even if I'm Filipino and please you are exaggerating, and if you claim that many of us eat Pagpag which is an exaggeration, how about your kind, do I need to state which country has a lower GDP Per Capita than the other? Hmmmm...
I'm not judging Indians, I like them but I'm just defending my country from attackers.
Never met a Sihk I didn't like. Very civil people who feed others freely in large numbers, no questions asked. Anyone ignorant enough to trouble a Sihk in my presence will find out that I have his back.

That s the reason indians respect and like Japanese culture and traditions.

As a white English man and pretty well versed in most religions if I could pick one religion to be born into it’d be Sikhism. Sikhs are intelligent, noble, hard working and they don’t suffer fools gladly. In the U.K (where I live) they are no trouble whatsoever and fiercely proud of their country, that is, the U.K.
And i am temporary immigrant in canada but yet i am fiercely proud of Canada , and my people in Canada literally get mad if someone talks ill about this country .....

Nankana is the birthplace of Guru Nanak. That is why we wanted Kartarpur Corridor to reach our home in Lahore. To seek a separate state in Indian Punjab is to look for fish in urine. We use India for cheap education & farmland money for us to move abroad. But how long will our homeland keep calling us...come on brave brothers let us move back home to Lahore, Pakistan. Forget India. Lets go OUR REAL, HISTORICAL, GURU-GRANTED HOME: LAHORE, PAKISTAN. RAJ KAREGA KHALSA.

baron Joahim von Munchausen you aldo most welcome here in Punjab
TH-cam is now used to propagate false history.
Muslim rule in Punjab came to an end due Marathas.
Afghans were completely vanquished by Marathas.
All Afghan settlements in Punjab were destroyed by Marathas. As a revenge for defeat in Panipat.
Maratha army killed more than 3,00,000 Rohilla Pathans in Doab regions of Punjab.
Sikhs gained in the end.
They neither had to face the Mughals nor Afghans in battle, just small time Muslim governors in Punjab.
Looks like fake and false history is being recited. Sikhs never defeated the Mughals or Rajput kings. They merely gained from power vacuum in Punjab.
Maratha army vanquished Muslim rule , neither Sikhs nor Marathas.
After 3rd battle of Panipat, Afghans were no longer in a position to rule Punjab as they did not want conflict with Marathas, who wanted to avenge their defeat in 3rd battle of Panipat. Mughal Empire was now reduced to gates of Red fort and shah jehanabad.
So this led to rise of Sikhs in Punjab.
But it was Marathas who expelled Muslim kings out of Punjab and Sindh.
It was Marathas who expelled Afghans from Punjab and Arabs from Sindh regions.
Mughals along with Afghans ruled over Punjab for a thousand years. Arabs ruled over Sindh. Both were defeated by Marathas.
It was Marathas who conquered Northern India upto Peshawar in Pakistan and Puri in Orissa.
They controlled whole of central India and had defeated the Rajput, and used to recover chauth and sardeshmukhi from them.
Maratha conquest of Punjab brought them in direct conflict with Ahmed Shah Abdali, founder of Afghanistan.
Ahmed Shah Abdali carried genocides in Punjab in collusion with Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar. It was saiyyads, with support from 10,000 Maratha soldiers, deposed Mughal emperor Farrukhsiyar.
Another attempts to white wash atrocities committed against Hindus during Muslim rule of India.
Leftist Historians sponsored by Judeo-Christian organisations and foreign intelligence agencies in India, are trying to create an impression that only Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb was committing atrocities on Hindu community during Mughal rule, while all other Muslim kings were benevolent.
This should be seen as a sinster Jewish Banker conspiracy to whitewash barbarism committed by Muslim rule in India, since Muhammad Ghazni and Muhammad Ghori.
Mass rape of Hindu women takes place frequently even todate in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
Leftist ( Anti Hindu ) Indian media suppresses such news from Indian public.
Indian school history books has been completely white washed of stories of barbarism of Muslim rule of India
Akbar was direct descendant of Timur on his father side and Genghis Khan on his mother side. He had built skull towers across northern India, just like his Turkic ancestors. He was by no means
Akbar was responsible for slaughter of 40,000 unarmed civilians in Chittorgarh. He personally ordered general massacre of unarmed civilians.
Another fake story to whitewash barbarism of Muslim rule in India. More than 300 million Hindus were slaughtered by Muslim kings.
Top Politicians in India are sponsored by illuminati Jewish Bankers, who want India to be SECULAR and LIBERAL like Europe.
( Anti Hindu ) Indian media is part of WORLD WIDE JEWISH MEDIA NETWORK and promotes SECULARISM and LIBERALISM.

Singa (Indonesian language) = Lion
Sing means to speak in a melodic manner in the English language.
In many south indian languages too,
In Kannada lion is Simha and in Tamil it is Singha.
Even in the lion king his name is Simba , it is the word for lion in Swahili
Shivaji the Great *Singham
Nostalgia For Infinity my gf is Indonesian
Singh or simha is Sanskrit word
one thing though: Guru Gobind Singh wasn’t assasinated. Guru Ji slew the would be assassins and was on the route to recovery. Guru Gobind Singh Ji came to a worldly end by practicing archery too soon in his recovery process (he had a really heavy bow, the strength required to nock an arrow was immense) and re-opened the wound.
Glad somebody cleared it up
You mean to sting the bow brother

Sikhism is a super modern & interesting religion.
One of the first religions to be equality between men & women based.
Religion that teaches love and charity while also requiring that you must arm yourself to defend yourself and others.
The only religion that I know of where they have a communal kitchen that will feed you regardless of who you are.
It’s like Sikhism is the most logical of any religion

Random Byzantine Guard why do sikhs despise the muslims?
ahmed hussain it’s not in our religion to hate other religions, guru Nanak said there is no Sikh Hindu or Muslim, we all have one god and should live in peace, but some people who claim to be Sikhs despise Muslims which isn’t ok, it might be because of our feuds with the Mughal empire, the gurdwara bombed in Afghanistan and unfair treatment towards us from so called Muslims, and it’s definitely not all Sikhs our religion is respectful to everyone, I guess people get blinded by all that India vs Pakistan bullshit too, please don’t think that about all of us, it’s a minuscule percentage of us
aman Sahota of course but there shouldn’t be any sort of hatred as some of your gurus attended moinuddin xhishtis sufism gatherings in delhi
peace love & harmony
ahmed hussain exactly I just wish that people would stop hating eachother 😣
They are very good people.. fun loving, respectful, dedicated and most of all they treat others with great importance.
Thank you bro literally thank you you are the only muslim who has said something good about us all the other muslims are just spitting hate in the comments respect broo👏👏👏👏👏
I respect the Sikh culture. Especially the men, no matter where they go. They get treated unkindly, but they dont give a shit and will still supply the community with a decent liquor store.
Sikh women are pretty great too, the Gurus empowered them and encouraged them to read, write, play music, practice martial arts and carry swords, back when their Muslim and Hindu neighbours were forcing women to wear veils and burning widows. Who needs white feminism when you have Sikhi?
Nah... They are literally oppressive towards Kashmiri and NorthEastern Indian Tribals. Won't say they are honorable at all
@Shivaji the Great There was forced veiling among the HINDUS at that time
@@tsar_zo8007 Sikhs today are standing up to defend the rights of Kashmiris, and even at the time of the Gurus they defended Kashmiri Hindus against forced conversion by Muslims, today they defend Kashmiri Muslims against oppression by Hindus. Ask the Kashmiris what they think of the Sikhs, and it'll be mostly very positive.
This fascist is really going to sit here claiming that nothing bad is happening in Kashmir right now, as the Indian government starves people, brutalises them, shoots them in the eye and puts them in concentration camps in order to ethnically cleanse the region. The world is watching and we know what we see. You cannot hide or deny these atrocities.

Hari Singh Nalwa (1791-1837) was Commander-in-chief of the Sikh Khalsa Fauj, the army of the Sikh Empire. He is known for his role in the conquests of Kasur, Sialkot, Attock, Multan, Kashmir, Peshawar and Jamrud. Hari Singh Nalwa was responsible for expanding the frontier of Sikh Empire to beyond the Indus River right up to the mouth of the Khyber Pass. At the time of his death, the western boundary of the empire was Jamrud.
Hari Singh Nalwa
Yet Hari Singh was killed by a 20 year old Pathan like most of your Sikh warriors

I am a Sikh and I recently read so much history about Sikhism, it is very interesting. It's great to see you bringing this to a wider audience. Thank you!
Wow! I had no idea. I have met many Sikhs. They are productive,great family values and are an asset to this country(USA). May God bless them all. They are welcome!
Wow they are really helpful do you carry them on your back and have a great time or do you dye their beard
Well done ... Never thought you'd cover the reign of Maharaj Ranjit Singh and the Sikh Empire. Mighty Zeus and the other God's of Olympus are well pleased !
Bro I'm dying from this comment
Learned more about the Sikh in 6:39 from EP than ever b4. Thx EP, nice video. Also, every Sikh I've ever met in the US has been very kind, nice, and a real stand up people.
As a Sikh Canadian, this is respect.
those who are making puns of "Sikh" should respect the love and affection which our brothers and sisters have for our traditions. This word holds too much strength and respect to be subjected to such actions.
Welcome to the internet, fellow countryman.
Bro, where are you getting this stupidity from? Sikhs are this, that. This is propaganda, nothing else. They are not some mythical legendary tribe who are superior to the rest of Indians.
Great video!
Didn't want to be too finicky but couldn't help. "Punjab" is not pronounced as "poon-jab". The "punj-" (five) part is pronounced similar the English "punch", and the second part "-ab" (water) as you rightly did. The name means "(land of) five waters/rivers". Also, the "th" in "Maratha" is pronounced closer to the way it is in "Beethoven".
Thanks for the great comment :)
It's OK, guy, the details matter. As Einstein famously said, "God is in the details".
I think it is just the American accent. They tent to pronce the letter 'u' 'oo' instead.
Where an Englishman would say 'Tuesday' Americans actually say 'Toosday', and 'TH-cam' becomes 'Youtoob' and so on.
@@vulkanofnocturne No. It's because of the nonstandard transliteration that was used by the British to render the word as "Punjab" instead of "Panjab" which would've been closer to the actual pronunciation "Panjāb".
@@pranavathalye it is infact panjab as in Farsi/Dari it also means five water
Woah my request actually went through.
Thank you!
I love my Sikh community. I am maharashtrian. Indian. They have devoted there life for our country. Even today they are always preferred in army as team leaders. Thanks.
Get some info buddy. They never fought for our country. They were always with British against Bharat. And it's not like the Army has only Sikhs, every state is given a proportionate representation in Indian Army. So, the Sikhs or Punjabis, which includes Hindus from Punjab as well, only have 2-3% representation.
@@stc7554 Never fought for our country? Your vileness, ignorance and depravity are all evident in your own words: 'they never fought for our country'... Keeping in line with your ignorance, you could have at least said 'they never fought for THEIR country', which of course would still not be true, but this really very simply reveals how people like you treat us. You never treated us as your own countrymen, and you cry yourselves a river when we stand up for our rights.
Love from Nagpur ❤
Why very less no. Of Sikhs live in nagpur
@@stc7554 bro there are literally regiments of sikhs in indian army, they are very big contributers in army even today and in 1965 and in 71
@@sammy57533yeah, they are a historical continuation of martial tribe dogma.
As a sikh, thank you for portraying a glimpse of our history in a straight forward and clear manner. I will be sure to recommend/share this video with my peers who wish to want to learn more about a brief sikh history!
Perfect timing. I was just wondering about this. Thanks
I live in Canada. I have a few coworkers at my job who moved here from Punjab India. They are good people very friendly, and do there jobs well. I am a bit sad to find out that they have had such a troubled history. I give my respect to my friends from other lands. 👍😊
Fierce warriors they are, my respect to the Sikh warriors. They went through a lot of bullshit, they have every right to fight for their God given rights. Also I'm an afghan and I do understand the crimes that were done by passing afghan warriors and army's when our king abdali sacked delhi.
As a Sikh .we are appreciate afgan and Pathan warriors.afghan are nearest neighbours of Punjab .we are hearing many stories Afghanistan specially historic city Kabul,kandhar, Jalalabad and Balkh ,bhukhara . A few Sikh religious places in Afghanistan whose we are miss but today time Afghanistan political atmosphere are not good for Sikhs. but we love Afghanistan . thanks
The best thing about Afghan people is they respect a good warrior. Doesn't matter whatever region country or religion he/she is coming from
@@kuldeepsingh-in2fk The Inside Reality of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Empire!!
which No One Gonna tell you..
Afghans, had been launching repeated raids into Punjab and Delhi. To check this Ranjit Singh decided to build a modern and powerful army with the employment of Top Muslims Generals at That Time, and aslo Frenchmen, Italians, Greeks, Russians, Germans and Austrians, Their name is(1) Jarnail Oms,(2) Jarnail Alexender Gardner,(3)Jarnai Joshiah harnal,(4)Jarnail Honignberger,(5)Kolonel Henery Stienbach,(6) Jarnail Charles van Cordant,(7) Jarnail Jean bapist Ventura,(8) Jarnail Claude Augustus Courte and two of Them Jarnail Jean-Francoise Allard, Jarnail Pablo Di Avitable had served under Napoleon. Says historian Shiv Kumar Gupta: “All these officers were basically engaged by Ranjit Singh for modernisation of his troops and Arms against Afghans.
Muslims Generals in Maharaja Ranjit Singh Army Names:
(1)Jarnail Ghaus Khan(died 1814) also Known as Mian Ghausa was a punjabi Muslim who served as an Artillery Officer of the Sukerhakia Misl of Mahraja Ranjit Singh.
(2)Jarnail Sultan Mahmood Khan(Died 1859) He was a Commander of Khalsa Army (Sarkar e Khalsa) his Derah Of artillery was Designated as TopKhana. he regarded as one of the best Commanding Officer at sikh khalsa fauj.
(3)Jarnail Ilahi Baksh(Died 1849) he was a Arain Punjabi Muslim he served over forty years at Sikh Khalsa fauj and regarded as best artillery officer.
Other Muslims Generals Names:(4) Jarnail Imam Shah, (5)Mazhar ali,(6) Imam Shah Zufar,(7) naziruddin Ilahi,(8) Fakir Azizudin,(9) Ghause Khan,(10) Imam Ali Shah
{if any one have doubt then he/she can check it on* The List of Generals Of Maharaja Ranjit Sing*}
The army under Ranjit Singh was not limited to the Sikh community. The soldiers and troop officers included Sikhs, but also included Hindus, Muslims and Europeans.Hindu Brahmins and people of all creeds and castes served his army, while the composition in his government also reflected a religious diversity.His army included Polish, Russian, Spanish, Prussian and French officers.In 1835, as his relationship with the British warmed up, he hired a British officer named Foulkes.
However, the Khalsa army of Ranjit Singh reflected regional population, and as he grew his army, he dramatically increased the Rajput and Jat sikhs to his army. In the Doaba region his army was composed of the Jat Sikhs, in Jammu and northern Indian hills it was Hindu Rajputs, while relatively more Muslims served his army in the Jhelum river area closer to Afghanistan than other major Punjab rivers.
and the claim That Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ruled Afghanistan??
This is a big Lie!!
But!
Though, they did not, bit they did captured some area of pushtons, then belonged to Afghanistan from where Afganistan begins, means Border Areas. How did it happened?
During the time Afghanistan was in serious internal conflicts and fighting over the crown was a daily routine.
The Maharaj Ranjit Singh army with the help of British East India Company,{(after the treaty of Amritsar April25, 1809. Pact concluded between Charles T. Metcalfe Represnting The British East India Company and Ranjit Singh Head of The Sikh Kingdom of Punjab.The Treaty setteled Indo-Sikh Relation for a genration)} attacked the western parts and captured it. and The weapons used by Ranjit Singh Army was most advanced and the fire power was great.
They were not fighting with all Afganistan. it was small tribes of Afghan people who were fighting with Britshers and Sikh Empire for Peshawar.
Despite having a great central army, the government of the time was so busy in internal conflicts that they didn’t care to even support the state government.
This lead to the separation of the Peshawar from Afghanistan, and a 100 year lease contract of the area was signed later by the ruler of Afghanistan with the British.

Its crazy how you researched so many details, big respect for that and thankyou for bringing light upon my faith
Loved the video! Just wish it was longer :)
It would be really cool if you did a Diaspora series, focused on cultures and ethnic groups you've covered in other videos. Would love to hear about modern Sikh culture and communities around the world.
There are sikhs in europe, mexico, iran, china, russia, africa and of course north america
Thanks for this respect for our sikh community and our turban
Alot of love from INDIA ❤️
Very well searched & researched documentary on sikhs and thank you for doing real justice to our real history...i owe you for this...
Amazing! Great job! Learned some thing new and so fun to watch!
Really well done! I did not know a lot of this!
Big up the sikh peoples i was once surrounded at school by a group of other reglion an me being white. one the only ones thought yea times now lets have it but about 4 sikhs came into the scene an stop me from being jumped once got to no found a culture of peeps who didnt judge individuals with different personalities really was a eye opened then i watch this an no i always team up defend back an these when time comes kro
WTF language is this. If I read it right, good on the Sikhs.
@@jaboi8955 Why you hating? XD He didn't even name the religion of the bullies. Btw Sikh empire was the last region that the "white" British were able to take under their control in India after multiple wars. It's Sikhs' duty to always stand up for the oppressed humans.
Don’t leave out the Punjabi muslims. People like Abdullah Bhatti fought against Mughal oppression as well. And there were Muslims in the armies and cabinet of ranjit Singh. This is shared Punjabi history.
There were Muslims in Guru Gobind Singh Ji's army too, fighting the Moghuls.
Muslims are very important part of sikh culture and religion bro.
Sayi miya meer ji

Bhayi gani khan bhayi nabi khaan a nd lot of muslims loved by guru sahiban.
Yes actually Sikh empire was Punjabi empire
During Sikh Empire rule , the muslim literacy rate was 80%+ !! Amazing for its time and equal opportunity was presented for men and women if they wished to.
Punjabi's fought outsiders from time to time, afghans under ranjit singh, alexander the great under Porus,
I have respect for the sihks mainly because my religion has a similar type of protect the faith ethos. well more specifically in the Old Testament
Christianity is no where near any dharmic religions.
@My choice sikh gurus written their own holy guru Granth Shahib, sikh scripture by their selfs..
This means so much to me bro. Thanks for sharing this with the world.
I hope one day people see Sikhs are here for everyones good. They defend all people and i wish history was different.
Thank you again
The one thing to take from this video is that the Sikhs are the reason Pakistan is not part of Afghanistan today. Millions of pashtuns live in a Punjabi dominated country because of the Sikhs empire’s victories. Remember that the Muslim Punjabi’s (modern Pakistanis) preferred the rule of Ranjit Singh compared to the brutality of the afghans.
Thanks for making a video about this topic.
Sikhism is one of the major pillar of India. All Indians must be proud of our sikh brothers and sisters. They are unique, courageous and good hearted.
Lot of respect for Guru Nanak and Guru Gobind Singh 🙏
Sikh Empire was never part of india
I'm an Atheist, but I have great respect for the Sikhs
I had the luck to visit the Punjab and share with many sikh people. They were all very friendly and welcoming, even in their temples and sacred places were I was clearly an outsider.
Thank you for this. Great to see a video about my heritage. Clearly, well researched.
-I heard you guys don't eat Pork
-No sir im Sikh
-Oh sorry man, get well soon.
Majority of sikhs are vegetarians
Sikhs draw influence from both Islamic and Vedic sources.

Amazing video. Very well summarised.
The Jain Empire was formed but was ironically swept to the side.
I get it! Not bad!
I got the meaning.
I did a video refuting Jainism though it's called: "Veganism is HYPOCRISY."
@TOMPMATHEWOFFICIAL Imagine if giants pushed you around with a giant stick of needles. How rude! How inconsiderate of smaller lifeforms! They should use surgical precision with soft tweezers for each case of tiny critters in the way! The fiends. :-)
