This book is dedicated to my mother who was a pious, religious,

noble and humane lady; who was a dedicated Sikh and a role model
for every Sikh; and my brother S. Nirmal Singh who laid his life
valiantly fighting against armed robbers in Seattle (USA) and saved
the lives of his son and a friend. He had learnt this Sikh tradition
from Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib who had sacrificed his life so that
others may enjoy freedom.
 Acknowledgement

It occurred to me in April 1998 that the tercentenary celebrations of

the formation of the Order of Khalsa should be held across Europe. It
would be a great honor to witness such a momentous occassion during
my life.
The first century of the Khalsa passed under the Mugals as it struggled
to establish the Khalsa Raj in northern India after defeating the Mugals
and stopping and pushing invaders like Ahmed Shah Abdali to the
other side of the Kheber Pass. Later, Maharaja Ranjit Singh managed
to establish the Sikh kingdom from the river Satluj to the Indus.
The second century was passed under the British, as the Punjab was
annexed by them through false means after the Anglo-Sikh Wars, and
Sikhs struggled to regain their lost sovereignity.
It was my opinion that the best celebration would be to remember
martyrs of the 20th century. Now the question arose: Who were these
martyrs?
Surely, they are the Gaddari Babas (revolutionary) of Canada and
America (1914) who left for India and started a military struggel to
liberate India and were killed and hanged by the British. Then, there
are the Sikh Soldiers of the First World War, who died for the freedom
of others.
The Sikhs of Jallianwala Bagh Amritsar (1919), Sikhs who gave their
lives for the liberation of their Gurudwara's in the Punjab (1921),
Sikhs of Babbar Akali Movement 1921-22, Sikhs like Bhagat Singh
(1931), Uddam Singh (1941) who shot dead the former Governor of
Punjab at London (who was responsible for the Jallianwala
Masscrace), Sikhs of Quit India Movement (1942), Sikhs of Free
Indian Army, Sikh Soldiers of the Second World War in Europe,
Africa and the Far East.
How can we forget Sikhs who died during the carnage that followed
British retreat from India in 1947 followed by those who died and
suffered in the Punjabi Province agitation of 1952, India’s war with
China (1962) and Pakistan (1965 and 1971), thousands who suffered
for protesting declaration of Emergency by Mrs Indira Gandhi (1975),
and during the agitations for more autonomy to all States in the Indian
republic (1982). And since 1984, quarter of a millon Sikhs have been
killed by the Indian police for the freedom of the Sikh Nation.
Like the soldiers from America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, etc. Sikhs also contributed in large
numbers during the World Wars. Wouldn’t it be appropriate to honor
these brave men and women in Europe where they fought and died.
For my research, I travelled several times to France, Belgium, Holland,
Germany and Italy trying to locate the battle fields, cemetaries and war
memorials to search for names of soldiers. A video documentary was
made and released by International Sikh Youth Federation, Holland
and it can be borrowed from In Flanders Field Museum, Ieper,
Belgium. This film is also a tribute to all people and organisations who
offered assistance in its making.
I would like to thank Mr. Dominiek, Piet Chiliens from the In Flanders
Field Museum, Michel Vansuyt and others from the community. I also
thank the Commomwealth War Grave Comission U.K-Belgium-
France, Mayor of Ieper, Mayor of Amsterdam, Ministry of Defence
and Minister President of Holland, the Government of Belgium, Dr.
Calewart, Peter van Lindt, and the hospitality I received from the
people of Ieper, the European Sikh community and Gurdwaras in
Holland, Belgium and France.
Mayor Inder Singh Jammu (U.K), Mayor Tarsem Singh Bhogal (U.K),
Mayor Abdul Karim Sheikh (U.K), Guru Ram Das Ashram in
Amsterdam, Hamburg and Paris and many well-meaning people like S
Jatinder Singh, S Pahlad Singh, S Jaswinder Singh Sandhawalia, S
Major Singh, S Awtar Singh Atwal, S Harjinder Singh Sandhu, S
Kamaljit Singh, S Parminder Singh, Dr Chanan Singh Chan, Sardarni
Hari Kaur Khalsa and so many more.
The data that was collected was sent to the Governments of France,
Belgium, Holland and other nations and we were pleased and
encouraged with their response. The City of Ieper was so kind to invite
the Sikh delegation through Dominiek and we were given a warm
welcome.
I spoke at the Last Post Ceremony and the names of Indian soldiers,
specially the Sikhs, were mentioned there for the first time. The
commendable role of the Sikh army in preserving peace during the
First World War was recognized. It was here that the Celebration for
Peace to commemorate 300 years of Khalsa and in remmembrance of
Sikh soldiers of the Second World War was proposed to Ieper
authorities and was accepted by the latter.
European Sikhs attended the Armistice Day on November 11, 1998
and the following year besides the Vaisakhi celebration at Ieper with
Bhangra, Gatka, Sikh Exhibition, lectures on Sikh religion and history
by several delegates including Dr Calewart. The monument was
unveiled by the Panj Piara's and the forgotten soldiers were honoured
by Governor Brijne of Flanders Province.
Since 1998 every year on May 5, the Libration Day of Holland, Sikhs
from across Europe lay Krans at the National Monument of Holland .
From the deep of my heart, I am sincerely thankful to :
o Mr Dominiek Dendooven, co-ordinator of the documentry

 An Appreciation
Next to farming, military is the most favoured occupation of the Sikhs.
Many a times they take up arms for earning, yet, their urge to side with
the week, to defend the poor and the oppressed, to humble down the
tyrant, is a gift blessed by their Guru, in whose name they fight
anywhere and everywhere. They are convinced that whether they fight
in their own land or abroad, whether they live or die, victory is on their
side; only that they are not to turn their back towards
Guru.
The Sikhs are a well built folk. But, it is not the only factor for
achieving the title of 'the finest soldiers of the world'. Guru has taught
them to live with conviction, to sacrifice ever their life for it and this
has set their mind to live or die for conviction, for truth and to win the
battle even by losing their life. Thus, if Guru is great his Sikhs are
equally great.
In the present volume 'How Europe is 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 the 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.
Sirdar Bhupinder Singh, the author of this book, is simply
alovable person. The amount of labour and consistency he has put in
collecting the tales about the Sikh soldiers, their rolls, their
photographs, their fighting devices, their unfailing determination and
their religious motivation is undoubtedly unmatchable.
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.
I wish this volume a responsible response from the mature
readers/scholars and a place in every home, in every library. May Guru
continue to bless his mind and pen to give many more such volumes,
works and bless us with wisdom to feel obliged for such a courageous
contribution.

 Who Are the Sikhs?

Dr Harjinder Singh Dilgeer

National Professor of Sikh Studies
{ HYPERLINK "mailto:hsdilgeer@yahoo.com" }

A Sikh can be easily identified from amongst the crowds of hundreds

and thousands. A man with beard and turban can well be easily
recognised. Still some Sikhs wearing traditional dress give impression
of a respectable monarch. Throughout the world one can observe Sikh
men, women and children, dressed in fine clothes and colourful
turbans, going towards Gurdwaros. A congregation in a Gurdwara
makes one think of an assembly of heavenly people. The scared
kitchen of a Gurdwara looks like the scene of a family feast where
everyone seems to be trying to surpass each other to perform
voluntary, selfless service.

One observes people contributing a share of their honestly

earned money for Langar (scared kitchen) and trying to surpass others
in performing most menial service in Gurdwara kitchen cleaning
dishes, sweeping floors, washing toilets, serving guests, cleaning silt
of sarovars (tanks); and all this being done by them energetically,
voluntarily, devotionally, honestly, vigorously, lovingly, whole-
heatedly and sacredly; and asks, "Who are these turbaned and bearded
people?"

When people of the world came to know that the Sikhs were
the same persons whose Ninth Master had sacrificed his life in order to
ensure right to religious worship and faith to the Hindus (as well
others), they were struck with wonder. It was more surprising for them
to know that the Hindu rulers of India whose women folk had been
forcibly taken away by terrorist Afghan invader Ahmed Shah Durrani;
and the Sikhs, not bothering for their lives, had fought against a
mighty terrorist invader in order to save the Hindu girls from being
taken to Afghanistan for sale as sex-slaves. The world came to know
about the Sikhs who sacrificed several of their comrades to restore the
wife of a Hindu Brahmin who appeared at Akal Takht Sahib on April
10, 1763 and submitted a petition that his wife had forcibly been taken
away by the tyrant chief of Kasur. The world was shocked to see
inhuman, merciless, savage, so far unknown to history, torturous
massacre °f the Sikh men, women and children by terrorist Hindu
mobs at Delhi and
other areas of Hindu monopoly. The world saw all this with disgust
when Indian media, instead of condemning inhuman treatment of the
Sikhs by terrorist Hindu mobs and leader, rather defamed the noble
Sikh nation as terrorist and extremists. The world was shocked at the
inhuman style of the Hindu leaders, Hindu press, Hindu elite and
majority of common Hindu folk. This created in them feeling of
sympathy for the Sikhs as well as desire to know as to "who are the
Sikhs?" and "what is a Sikh?"
It is noteworthy that the Sikh-Punjab contributes 70% of India's
wheat, rice and other grains. If Punjab stops giving or cannot provide
food to India, the latter will reach the stage of starving; hence the Sikh-
Punjab is the preserver of India. Similarly, the Sikh-Punjab is the arm-
sword of India. It is mainly the Sikhs with turbans and beards who
have always been the real defenders of India. Thousands of Sikhs have
sacrificed their lives for the defence of India. The Sikhs have made
sacrifices not only for India but also for the freedom of European
countries like France, Italy, and Belgium as well as countries in the Far
Fast and other zones in different parts of the world. The records of the
martyrs and the details preserved in war memorials in France, Italy,
Belgium, Holland etc. contain the name of several thousand Sikh
martyrs.
Besides making sacrifices for the freedom of the western and
eastern nations, the Sikhs have contributed a lot to the economy of
different nations. Wherever a Sikh resides, he is known for his
enterprising nature, courage, will to struggle and endeavour to make
progress. One can not find a pauper Sikh in any part of the world. It is
impossible to find a Sikh begging for alms. The Sikhs have played role
in the progress and betterment of their country of residence. The Sikhs
have contributed a lot to the prosperity of the U.S.A, England, Canada,
Australia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. and have
made sincere efforts to improve the economy of Kenya, Ethiopia,
Philippines etc. Almost in every country the Sikh residents have
established major business, industrial and even agricultural units
which helped further in giving jobs to hundred of thousands of people.
It has its genesis in the Sikh ideology of honest earning, sharing with
others, humanism, love for service enterprising nature, Charhdi-Kala
(the Sikh-Euphoria), positive thinking; and a Sikh achieves all this not
by any negative means but by hard work and efforts.
Daswandh (tithe), in Sikhism, is a unique institution. It is a
pious duty of a Sikh to contribute a share of his honestly earned
income for the needy, the poor and the weak. If a Sikh cannot find
such needy persons among his nears and dears then he contributes his
tithe for Gurdwara, for Langar
12
(sacred kitchen) or for some other charitable purposes. In Sikhism tithe
is n0t "donation", it is an obligatory duty, but it must not be done for
exhibition nor it is an investment for any material or spiritual
gain/return. In Sikhism, service in any form, is a cardinal virtue. A
Sikh has an obligation to participate in some kind of service regularly.
Some people consider serving in Gurdwara, in Langar (sacred Sikh
kitchen) as most sacred, but it is not so. Service in any form and in any
situation has the same sanctity. The only consideration is that it should
be done with most humility, devotion and from the core of one's heart.
A Sikh does not perform service under compulsion or coercion rather
it is a matter of pride for a Sikh. One might have seen thousands of
Sikhs performing Kar Sewa (usually cleaning the silt of the tanks of
Gurdwaras) and in this Kar Sewa royal family, feudal and billionaire
people make equal participation with utmost zeal, devotion and pride.
It is remarkable that every Sikh wants to surpass the others in
participating in one or another Sewa.
The concept of 'sharing with others' is no less unique in
Sikhism. A Sikh feels it a pleasure in contributing a part of his income
for some religious cause or for the social welfare. A Sikh believes in
giving something to others and not asking for some help. However, it
does not mean that a Sikh is prohibited to accept help even when one
needs it. A Sikh loves in participating in social activities to the extent
of feasibility. Sikh never shirks work or duty of responsibility.
A Sikh is a man of words. If a Sikh promises to help to some one he
shall never turn his back even if he has to pay a very high price for it.
Guru Sahib themselves practised these ideals in their lives.
In Sikhism meditation is not an imbalance approach. It is not a
mere ritual or formality. A Sikh need not renounce world in order to
achieve liberation or union with God. A Sikh can achieve spiritual
height even as a householder. A Sikh does not believe in "other
wordiness". For a Sikh there is no heaven or hell beyond this world.
Living Truthful life, in noble fear of the Almighty, is heaven. Having
no faith in God and living an unethical life is hell.
A Sikh does not worship gods, goddesses, idols, prophets,
martyrs or heroes. A Sikh does not worship even Guru Sahib. A Sikh
does not have to adopt any type of hypocritical worship or rituals.
Sikhs worship only the Almighty. Concentrating on God, meditating in
the Name of the Almighty, practising Truthful life, loving human
beings, living in the noble fear of and performing the worship of the
Almighty is the Sikh way of life. sikhs need not first worship a prophet
or Guru in order to achieve union
13
with the Almighty. A Sikh is a direct subject of Almighty and there is
none in between a Sikh and God.
A Sikh is an enthusiastic, diligent, spirited and vivacious being.
He gets up early in the morning, gets a bath, meditates in the Name of
the Almighty, joins Sangat (congregation) in a Gurdwara and then
begins his work sincerely. It is the discipline of a Sikh. A Sikh can not
shirk work or duty, A Sikh cannot be lazy, indolent or inactive nor can
he remain idle, stagnate, slothful or lackadaisical. Lethargy or life of
inactivity is alien to a Sikh. A Sikh is always active, agile, robust,
vigorous and vivacious. He is ever ready to do something, it may be
his own work or helping/ serving others.
Punjab, The Sikh homeland, is inhabited not only by the Sikhs.
There are several Hindus, Muslims, Christians, and Buddhists. Jains
and others. There are several casts and creeds in Punjab e.g. Jots,
Khatris, Aroras, Brahmins, Rajputs, Lubanas, Sainis, Kambojs,
Gka.ma.rs etc; and these people believe in different religions. But, it is
remarkable to note that when a person from the above castes/creeds
gets Khande Di Pahul {the Sikh initiation} he/she becomes an
altogether 'different' person. Khande Di Pahul turns an ordinary person
into a vivacious, robust, vigorous, chivalrous, courageous, as well as
polite, sophisticated and humane person. There is some miraculous
power in Amrit (nectar for initiation) which turns a coward into a
gallant, an indolent into a vigorous and vivacious person, a weak being
into a mighty person, a loutish, uncouth and ungracious person into a
polite and humane, an atheist into a devoted pantheist and a sant-sipahi
(saint-soldier). The writers, thinkers and leaders of world have always
wondered over the miracle of Amrit.
A Sikh Gurdwara has a significant role in die life of a Sikh. For
a Sikh, Gurdwara is a spiritual centre. It is door of the abode of the
Almighty. Besides, it is the nucleus of Sikh nation. Here, a Sikh learns
how to live among others family members. Langar hall (sacred
kitchen) and a hostel are usually a part of all the major Gurdwaras. It
provides refuge to travelers and other needy persons. A Sikh must play
an active social role in his life. A Sikh has an obligation to contribute
something positive to the society. Guru Sahib themselves practiced the
same in their own lives. Guru Sahib built several Sarovars (tanks),
Baolis (deep wells), gardens, inns (hostels) etc. and taught die Sikhs
that they too should practice the same as that was a part of their duty
towards the Sikh brotherhood.
Earning honestly; sharing with others; serving die humanity; defending
the weak, the poor and the suffering people; contributing Daswandh
(tithe);
14
achieving prosperity by doing hard work, efforts and struggle;
opposing injustice and tyranny; performing one's job honestly;
working hard to grow food for the people of the world; performing
one's duty honestly; always telling truth; practising honesty in every
situation; never cheating, stealing or snatching; never encroaching
upon others' genuine rights; never tolerating nor being a party to
injustice; always being polite; never hurling the feelings of others;
always contributing one's share for service of mankind, is die real Sikh
way of life.
 Basic Tenets of Sikhism
Sikhism is a unique religion. These principles can be called the
ideology of the 21st century and the new millennium. The basic
concepts of Sikhism can be summed up as follows:
1. Honest Earning :
The first and the foremost cardinal principle of Sikh culture is
honest earning. A Sikh cannot earn his livelihood by dishonesty,
stealing, sinful acts, corrupt means, smuggling etc. A Sikh can't even
become a beggar. A Sikh may adopt any profession or business
(agriculture, industry, trade etc.) or may join any type of job, but
he/she shall have to practise it honestly and as per Sikh ethics.
However, a Sikh can't adopt a profession that is specifically forbidden
in Sikhism (e.g. trade of drugs or tobacco, a barbershop, running a
brothel or sale of Halal meat). Though no other jobs and trades are
forbidden to a Sikh, but even in such jobs and trades, there is no place
for dishonesty. A Sikh can't encroach upon the wealth or rights of the
others.
2. Sharing with others :
The second cardinal principal of Sikhism is "sharing one's
wealth, income and art with others". Guru Nanak Sahib said that only
those persons are eligible towards the path of liberation who not only
earn their livelihood honestly, but also share their earnings, wealth and
art with others.:
He, who eats what he earns earnestly
And from his earnings shares something (with others) He
alone, 0 Nanak ! knows the true way of life. (p. 1245). Bhai Gurdas, a
famous Sikh writer (of Guru Sahib's times) detailed this concept in his
verses in details. He explained that a Sikh should first feed the others
and live himself upon that that has been left with him (after feeding
others).
Guru Nanak Sahib's message of "sharing with others" is also known as
Daswandh (tithe). The Tenth Nanak told the Sikhs to contribute one
tenth of their income for the Sikh national cause. Daswandh is a
fundamental duty of a Sikh. It is obligatory and not optional. If a Sikh
does not contribute his tithe, he is a debtor. One must pay one's debt
before freedom (liberation). One has to pay it, sooner or later.
However, a Sikh does not have an obligation
16
to pay his/her Daswandh in Gurdwara only. One may spend it for other
religious, social and national activities.
3. Meditation:
Some writers, under the impact of Vedant and Brahmin-ism,
have tried to define Sikhism as 'religion of meditation'. It is not true.
Meditation is obligatory for a Sikh, it is an inseparable part of a Sikh's
life but mere meditation is not everything in Sikhism. Meditation helps
an individual's self, but a Sikh is also a part of community (the Sikh
commonwealth) and it makes prayers for the welfare of the whole of
the world. A Sikh makes such prayers at least twice a day but even in
this prayer he does not beg anything for himself. The Sikh prayer is a
national (in fact universal) prayer. A Sikh prays: "O God, give your
(all the) Sikhs (not for a particular person), the gift of Sikhi (die Sikh
way of life)". Sikhism is a brotherhood, a commonwealth of the
subjects of Almighty. So, the Sikhs don't think of begging anything for
themselves. It is for the whole of the Commonwealth. But, on the other
hand, the only thing craved by a Sikh for oneself is 'meditation'. It does
not, however, mean that meditation is non-essential, less important or
optional. It is obligatory. Guru Sahib said:
None can achieve liberation without meditation.
One can concentrate under the guidance of a Guru (enlightener).
(p. 1175)
and
Among all the religions the best religion is:
Meditation in the Name of God and Truthful living (p.266)
Meditation is not the mere recitation of His Name. To remember the
Almighty every moment, to have His noble fear, and, to love Him
from the core of one's heart, too is meditation.
4. Annihilation of terrorism:
It is an essential part of a Sikh's religious duty that he should join the
crusade to bring an end to terrorism. In Sixth Nanak's words: "A Sikh
must stand for the defence of poor, weak and downtrodden; and, he
should endeavour to bring an end to terrorism, cruelty, injustice and
in-humanism". A Sikh must not allow injustice being done to any one.
It is impossible for a Sikh to turn a cold shoulder to injustice and
cruelty.
But, if a Sikh himself perpetrates, collaborates or supports
injustice, in-humanism, cruelty etc., then he is the greatest sinner on
this earth. He is, in fact, an enemy of the Sikh nation. A Sikh has to
struggle for the cause of
17
Righteousness. He may choose any method or strategy to achieve this
goal. A Sikh can not side with a cruel, terrorist, unjust or inhuman
person.
Japanese are brave people. They showed exemplary courage
and made unbelievable sacrifices for their country but their chivalry
was obliterated by their cruelty. Similarly, if a valiant and a brave Sikh
acts in an unjust or cruel manner or is a killer of innocent people, his
sacrifice becomes futile, A valiant and brave person can never be
cruel, terrorist or inhuman. In Sikhism, even militancy has its ethics
(i.e. the Sikh ethics of the battlefield). It is an obligatory duty for a
Sikh to participate in bringing an end to injustice, cruelty, terrorism
and in-humanism and one should participate in this crusade to the
extent of one's capacity and possibility.
5. Pray for the whole of humanity:
A Sikh must make prayer at least twice a day and the most
important part of this prayer is to seek God's blessing for the
prosperity of the whole of humanity. A Sikh's prayer is never personal
or individual, it is always national, it is in fact universal. A Sikh
wishes die welfare of the whole of humanity, not as a formality, but he
makes such prayers from the core of his heart and throughout his life,
twenty four hours a day.
It is remarkable that before a Sikh puts first morsel of his meals
in his mouth he prays "O God thank you for blessing me with meals. I
pray you to grant every human being better than this." A Sikh may
make this prayer by uttering die above words from his mouth or may
have such a feeling in his heart, but if he takes his meals without this
feeling, dien he eats 'die meals of sin.' This part of Sikh religious
culture makes Sikhism a religion not only of die 21st century but also
the forthcoming millenniums.
6. Be ever thankful to the Almighty:
It is die duty of a Sikh to always be grateful to the Almighty. A
Sikh must attribute all his achievement to the Almighty. If a Sikh has
even the slightest feeling that he has achieved anything or a situation
due to his own labour, efforts, power, capability, qualification etc. then
he is surely farther from Sikhism. A Sikh's faith in the Almighty is to
such a great extent that he attributes everything to the Almighty. One,
who does not have complete faith in the Almighty's Blessings, is not a
genuine Sikh. A Sikh can't even complain that God has given him less
than he/she deserved. For a Sikh, the Almighty knows better as to what
has to be given, to whom, at what time and in what manner. A Sikh
must always have complete 'and full faith in His Benevolence.
18
7. To bow before His Will :

A Sikh can not forget to bow before His Will. He/she must
always live one's life as per His Will. A Sikh always believes in the
principle
What pleases You, 0 Nanak ! that alone is the good deed (p. 1239)
and
Your doings are sweet to me. Nanak craves for the wealth of God's
Name, (p. 394).
I shall always meditate upon His Name, You may give us joy or pain
(p. 757)
A Sikh bows before His Will in thick and thin. He accepts the
Almighty's Orders by saying (even in pain): "This, too, is Your gift
(hence I love it).
8. Sewa (service)
Sewa (voluntary, selfless service) is one of the cardinal
principles of Sikhism. If a Sikh has numerous qualities but does not
have love for Sewa, he is an incomplete and an imperfect Sikh. In
other words, he is just a half-Sikh. A Sikh considers 'Sewa' as a great
Blessing. He/she loves to serve with his/her mind, body and spirit in
doing this. Sewa inducts, in a Sikh, the feeling of humbleness,
patience, generosity, purity etc. One who performs Sewa, considers
him a useful part of brotherhood. Sewa brings an end to vanity,
selfishness, haughtiness, pride and ego. Sewa is a step forwards
towards die path of liberation (self-realisation).
If we perform acts of Sewa in this world
Only then we can achieve a place in the court of the Almighty (p. 26)
and
If we shun ego, perform service,
then we can have honour in His Court (p. 474)
and
If one serves without the desire for a reward
he can achieve union with the Almighty (p.286)
While doing Sewa one must keep two things in his mind: (!) One
should not discriminate between person and person or one and another
while performing Sewa (2) Sewa should not be done just for show.
One, who just performs Sewa for show, is a hypocrite and his Sewa is
futile, and, is not acceptable to the Almighty. He, rather, becomes a
greater sinner:
One who does it (Sewa) as an act of rivalry
is a self-willed person without understanding
If some one does it with pure heart,
his service is accepted in the court of Almighty (p. 286)
19
Similarly, one who does Sewa with the thought of self-praise or self-
disgrace, he is not considered real service-doer in the court of the
Almighty (p. 51).
9. Langar and Pangat :
Eating Langar (the sacred community food) by sharing equal
status with the so-called low-caste people, is of utmost importance in
Sikhism. According to the Sikh culture, sacred community kitchen is a
must for each and every Gurdwara. Everyone, present in a Gurdwara,
has an equal right to serve and dine in a Langar-hall. Broadly
speaking, food cooked in each and every Sikh's kitchen (home), too, is
Langar and if a Sikhs family takes its meals without serving a visitor,
it is believed that something was definitely missing in that house at
that moment
Langar, as some have wrongly called it, is not free food/kitchen. It is
in fact "sacred community kitchen". A Sikh gets spiritual food from
Gurbani (hymns) and learns brotherhood, humanism, ethics, culture
and national feeling from Langar.
10. Charity:
There is no concept of charity (in the meanings of alms) in
Sikhism. A Sikh must not beg nor give alms. Making offerings in
Gurdwara is not charity as a Sikh can not be a giver. In Sikhism, God
is the only Giver. We receive everything from Him, hence, we are
nobody to give anything to Him. Making offerings in a Gurdwara,
contributing funds for any cause, Daswandh (title) etc. are like giving
back a tiny part of the debt of the Almighty. Daswandh is a Sikh's
duty. Performing one's duty is not an act of kindness or gratitude, it is
an act of discharging of an obligation.
 Who is a Sikh

Once, someone asked me a question: "what are the merits of a Sikh ?"
A short answer to this question was not an easy task. It needed several
pages to explain it because a Sikh (a genuine Sikh) is an image of the
sketch of a superman. Sikh is also defined as 'saint soldier'. Again a
question arises, "what is a saint and what is a soldier?" This, too,
again, needed a lot of explanation. Finally, it was decided that I should
mention 20 virtues of a genuine Sikh.
1. A Sikh believes in one and the only God who is Omnipresent,
Omnipotent, All-pervading, Eternal, Infinite; who is the Creator,
Sustainer, Destroyer; who existed in the beginning, exists now and
shall remain existent forever; who is not born (hence does not die);
who has no chosen subjects; who loves everyone alike; who can not be
defined in words.
2. A Sikh is not afraid of any power on this earth. A Sikh neither
fears nor frightens anyone. But, a Sikh always lives in the noble fear of
the Almighty.
3. A Sikh has no enemy. He does not have disdain for anyone. A
Sikh does not hate anybody. But, a Sikh does not forgive cruelty and
inhumanism. It is a Sikh's duty to fight for Righteousness. Otherwise,
a Sikh is not supposed to have hatred, jealousy, partiality or revengeful
attitude for any one on this earth. A Sikh is ever ready to forgive
wrongdoing of an innocent person. Pity and forgiveness are must for a
Sikh. If someone comes to a Sikh with a pure heart and with a desire
for repentance, a Sikh must forgive him. However, inhuman killers,
terrorists and those who have perpetrated atrocities on people must be
punished and should not be forgiven.
4. A Sikh does not have negative thinking. A Sikh is always
positive in his approach. A Sikh has constructive approach and does
not have destructive thinking. To strengthen truth and justice and to
bring an end to injustice is obligatory for a Sikh.
5- A Sikh is always in blissful feeling. He always bows before the
Will of the Almighty. A Sikh always sings hymns in die praise of the
Almighty; it may be an occasion of birth, marriage or death, it may be
joy or sorrow. Keertan (singing hymns) is a part of a Sikh's spiritual,
personal as well as social life.
21
6. A Sikh's spiritualism and physical personality go side by side.
Lethargy and laziness are evil for a Sikh and activity and endeavour
are virtue for him. Early rising, regular shower, meditation is an
essential routine of a Sikh. Light diet should be the liking of a Sikh. A
Sikh likes to eat such a food, which does not lead him to vices.
Meaning thereby, there is a special relation between a Sikh's
spiritualism and his health.
7. A Sikh loves the concept of equality. Langar (sacred community
kitchen), Sangat (holy congregation), Pangat (joining Langar as
equals. In other words equally in community activities) are an essential
part of the Sikh cultural ethics. To join congregation like equals and
brotherhood is first and foremost thing for a Sikh's religious culture.
Joining Sangat in Langar hall, sitting in a Pangat and sharing sacred
community food with all and sundry brings an end to ego. the Sikh
Langar (sacred community kitchen) brings an end to inferiority
complex of the poor and the lowly as well as the superiority complex
of the so-called rich and feudal. Strictly speaking, the concept of low
and high, senior and junior is alien to Sikhism. In Sikhism colour,
caste, age, status, gender are of no consideration. A Sikh has to adopt
this culture not only in the Langar-hall but he has to keep it with him
throughout his life and in all situations.
8. A Sikh always lives in Charhdi Kala (the Sikh euphoria). A Sikh
can never live in decadence nor can he ever get demoralised. He
always has the feeling that 'tomorrow will be better'. Everything that
has happened is the Sweet Will of the Almighty. On February 5,1762,
about half of the Sikh population was killed in a carnage but the Sikhs
still announced that "our alloy has melted away and we have become
pure metal, i.e. gold." Baba Bota Singh and Baba Garja Singh, only
two Sikhs, could declare national sovereignty. Forty Sikhs at
Chamkaur and Khidrane Di Dhab (now Muktsar) could fight
mammoth armies. An eight months long siege of Gurdas Nangal did
not dishearten the Sikhs. A Sikh never bows down his head, nor does
he make compromises when he is in pain or suffering. Pain, suffering,
problems, crisis make a Sikh stronger still. The feeling of Charhdi
Kala is, in fact, life for a Sikh. To thank the Almighty for each and
every phenomenon is the duty of a Sikh. A Sikh always considers His
Blessing as bountiful. A Sikh attributes everything of his being to the
Almighty
9. A Sikh is a positive part of the society. A Sikh earns his
livelihood by honest means. Unlike Brahmins, a Sikh does not live on
alms or charity. A Sikh can never be a beggar. A Sikh always tries to
give something to others and does not like to live on others' assistance.
A Sikh's
22
prosperity is a result of his endeavour and his enterprising nature,
10. Sikhism is a culture of fraternity. Sharing one's earnings as well
as wealth is basic to Sikh culture. A Sikh has an obligation to earn
honestly. Besides, he must share his prosperity with others. To help the
needy and the poor is the foremost duty of a Sikh. To avoid helping
needy persons is alien to Sikh culture. A Sikh can not be selfish. A
Sikh does not live for himself only. Sikhism is essentially a social
spiritualism.
11. A Sikh can not live in stagnation. He always makes efforts to go
further and further. Progress and prosperity of the Sikhs throughout
different parts of me world is an example of the Sikhs' enterprising
nature. Sikhs have achieved prosperity not by toddling others or by
snatching from others or by usurping the rights of others, Nor is
cheating, robbing or dishonesty the basis of the Sikhs' progress. All
Sikh prosperity has in its background, their enterprising nature, hard
labour, intelligence etc. Sikhs have achieved heights because they have
always worked sincerely and honestly. Their wealth is always hard
earned. It is a part of the nature of a Sikh that he always looks forward,
never stops on his way towards achievement of his goal, continues
struggling. It is the nature of positive thinking in a Sikh, which has
made him full of desire for progress and reform. But, a Sikh's thinking
is not that of a Malik Bhago (the symbol of a usurper). A Sikh may be
rich but he can't be a usurper. A Sikh's prosperity is not achieved
through encroachment upon others' wealth or rights. Moreover, his
prosperity is for the betterment of his family and his brotherhood. It is
for the welfare of the Sikh nation and a Sikh is ever ready to contribute
for such a cause.
12. A Sikh does not fear death. A simple thought of death frightens
the whole of the world but, for a Sikh, it is the Will of the Almighty. A
Sikh always bows before His Will. For a Sikh, die physical body is
nothing but a structure of five elements and exit of spirit from body is
the end to the being of a person. It is like finale to the role of a human
on this earth. Death, for a Sikh, is the step for proceeding towards the
next stage/ destination. It completes a person's journey in this world as
this world is just an inn for every human being that is just a passenger
on this earth.
13. A Sikh always keeps his word. If a Sikh promises help or
defence of anyone, he/she will stand by his/her commitment even at
the cost of his/her life. The Sikh history is replete with several events
narrating 'Sikhs sacrificing their lives in order to save Hindu girls from
terrorist foreign invaders'.
23
14. A Sikh is never biased, partisan or partial. For a Sikh all the
human beings are the children of the Almighty and they should be
treated alike. The history of the Sikh-Red Cross, established by Guru
Gobind Singh Sahib, under the command of Bhai Ghanaiya Singh,
explains this concept. Bhai Ghanaiya Singh is known in the history as
one who would treat even the wounded soldiers of the army of the
enemies of the Sikhs in a manner as he would treat the Sikh soldiers.
For him a wounded person is not a Sikh or an enemy but he was a
human being, hence deserves alike treatment. A Sikh shall never be
biased or partial in favour of or against any one. If one wishes to learn
the lesson of humanism, generosity, mercy, sympathy, love, justice
one should go through the pages of the Sikh history or the Sikh
culture.
15. A Sikh is the greatest "host" on this earth. A Sikh loves to feed
others before eating anything himself. This writer still remembers the
words of his mother: "the day when no one shares food with us seemed
to be an incomplete day. The food of that day becomes tasteless." It is
well known to the whole of the world that the greatest free food camps
have always been arranged by the Sikh nation. The Sikhs are known as
feeding hands. Feeding others is the greatest pleasure for a Sikh.
16. A Sikh must always contribute his Daswandh (tide). It is
obligatory for a Sikh to contribute a part (usually one-tenth) of his
income and wealth for the welfare of the Sikh nation in particular and
humanity in general. If a Sikh does not contribute his Daswandh, he is
a debtor. A Sikh must repay his debt as soon as possible. Daswandh,
for a Sikh, is not only monetary contribution. An unemployed person
or a poor man, too, can contribute the Daswandh of his time, energy,
skill and knowledge for some national cause. This too is as good as
monetary contribution. Paying Daswandh is "understanding one's
responsibility for the nation." It is a feeling of considering oneself as
an important and useful member of society.
17. Sewa (selfless, voluntary service), too, is an important aspect of
the personality of a Sikh. Doing Sewa pleases a Sikh a lot. Having got
a chance to do Sewa is a matter of honour for a Sikh. If a Sikh can not
perform any type of Sewa for a long period, he feels something
missing from his' self. While doing Sewa, a Sikh feels himself in
spiritual heights. A Sikh is always in a wait for getting an opportunity
to do some Sewa-He waits for Sewa as if some treasure is likely to be
found by him.
18. For a Sikh, temporal (Miri) and transcendental (Piri) are one
unit. A spiritual leader cannot ignore political and social role and a
man with
24
political power must act like a spiritual person. A saint and soldiers are
one unit in a Sikh. A king must be a saint in his heart. For a Sikh,
politics must be practised in accordance with spiritual ethics. For a
Sikh Miri (temporal) and Piri (transcendental) are one and this concept
is not "unity" of both but it is "oneness". It is "Miri-Piri" and not "Mm
and Pin".
19. A Sikh always makes prayers for the welfare of the whole of the
humanity. A Sikh must not make prayers for himself or for his family.
A Sikh's prayer is always national and rather universal and not
personal or individual. If a Sikh makes a prayer for his own health,
economic prosperity, personal peace of mind, progress of self or
family, he is performing an act against Sikh fundamentals. A Sikh
does not pray even for his own people. It must always for the whole of
humanity.
20. A Sikh is essentially a "saint". The word "saint" (Sant}., as it is
being used for cult leaders or so-called missionaries, is a misnomer.
They are using it to fool the Sikhs in particular and common people in
general. In Sikhism, a saint is the one who meditates in the Name of
the Almighty daily before beginning one's job/routine. One who does
not meditate is better a dead person. Remembering the Almighty is not
the mere recitation of hymns. To recite, to understand and try to live
one's life according to hymns is real meditation. To live a Truthful
Life, in accordance with spiritual ethics, is also meditation. A Sikh
must always remember God in his heart of hearts twenty-four hours a
day.
A Sikh's life, the Sikh ethics, the Sikh culture, the Sikh way of
life is
based oh these points. A Sikh need not renounce this world to achieve
liberation (self-realisation). A Sikh can achieve liberation in this life
while performing his regular routine. Sikhism is a religion of
practical Me (pragmatism). Sikhism is not a theoretical concept,
which can not be put into practice. Sikhism is no ritual-ism. It has, in
its embrace, the welfare of the brotherhood, community, nation and
whole of the world. Superman may be a fictitious character but if it is
possible to have an superman on this earth, a Sikh can surely be called
such a superman.
25
 Dastaar (The Sikh Turban)

Today, the very existence of turban reminds one of the Sikh nation.
Turban is an essential part of a Sikh's dress. It is obligatory for a Sikh.
Although initiation of the Khalsa dates back to the last days of the
seventeenth century, the turban for a Sikhs is as old as the religion
itself. Right from Guru Nanak Sahib (l4o9-;539), the founder of the
Sikh religion, the turban has been an inseparable part of the being of a
Sikh.
Though turban is a religious obligation for the Sikhs, it is an
old costume of the people of Asia. It has been a part of the attire of the
saints and sages in the Sikh Homeland. According to some sources,
even Hazrat Mohammed Sahib, the founder of Islam, used to wear a
similar headgear.
It has not yet been established whether the Dastaar (turban) of a Sikh
and turban of the Middle east (Dulband), have a common origin. In
Persian turban is "Dulband" and in Turkish it is "Tulband". Turkish
"Tulband" became "Turbante" in Italian, "Turbant" in French and
"Turban" in English. The Sikhs appreciate the use of the term Dastaar,
instead of "Turban."
Europe Knew Turban even prior to the fifteenth century. An oil
painting by jan Van Eyck with a caption "a man in a turban" dates
back to c.1433, {This painting has been preserved in the National
Gallery at London). For a Sikh, "Dastaar" (turban) is not a headgear
but it is a part and parcel of his religion. It is representative of the
religious identify and national cohesion for die Sikh Nation. A Sikh
with a "Dastaar" is conspicuous among the crowds of thousands.
About four and a half meters (5 yards) of lightly starched fine cotton
mulin cloth is usually used for a Sikh's "'Dastaar." The width of this
cloth is about one and a quarter meter. Some variations do exist and
some people use 7 meter of slightly dense cotton clothe (voile), instead
of finer material with starch. A smaller Dastaar, about one and a half
to two meters in length and smaller width, is also worn under the "
Dastaar." This is known as Keski. Keski became a obligatory part of
the Sikh nation dress at the time of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib,
Turban has significance not only in the Sikh religion, but also
in the Sikh way of life. After the death of the head of a family, the
eldest son is presented a turban, symbolising grant of the honour and
dignity of the family, as well as the responsibilities of the family. On
the occasion of marriage, the fathers or close relatives of the bride •and
the groom, present turbans to each
26
other as symbolic of shared social esteem and dignity. In the Sikh
homeland, good friends of long standing, present turbans to each other
implying the message that they will be brothers-in-religion,
henceforth. Among some Sikh families, "Dastaar-band? (tying of a
turban) of the children is observed as a special ceremony.
Dastaar is a part and parcel of Sikhism and several idioms have
become associated with this. Most of these denote great humiliation or
disrespect, when a turban is disturbed or knocked-off. Removing a
Sikh's turban constitutes a grave offence. A Sikh, guilty of disrespect
towards another Sikh's turban, is not allowed to join the Sikh
ceremonies, unless he has expressly apologised and has carried out die
punishment prescribed for the offence. (Rahitnama: Kesar Singh
Chhibber).
In several countries, the Sikhs had to fight several times to
retain their right to wear turbans. The first such battle was in England,
die famous "Mandla case". In Norway, the Sikhs had to fight for their
right to get a passport with a photograph in a turban. Later, in Norway
again, the Sikhs had to struggle to be allowed to drive taxicabs while
wearing a turban. In Sweden, the Sikhs had to fight hard for their right
to wear a turban while serving in local railways. In Canada, the Sikhs
had to launch an agitation to get permission to wear turban in police
forces and armed forces. India has never helped the Sikhs in their
adoptive lands, at any time, for preservation of any religious right of
the Sikhs. On the contrary, examples abound where the Hindus have
actively lobbied against the Sikhs' religious rights, particularly in
Canada, the USA and the United Kingdom. The latest being France,
where the Sikhs are still struggling for freedom of religion and for
their existence.
Turban, for a Sikh, is not an optional piece of clothing but it is an
essential and integral part of the Sikhs' religious belief and their way
of life. Turban is an article of faith,
Turban is also a dress of royalty, A person wearing a turban
looks like a king, a prince. Guru Sahib granted sovereignty to each and
every Sikh and turban is a crown of a sovereign. A king, a Sirdar, a
leader must always wear a crown. Slaves don't have a right to turban.
Giving up turban is surrendering one's sovereignty and accepting
slavery. Besides, a Sikh can not wear a cap or a helmet Wearing a cap
or helmet in any form is strictly forbidden in Sikhism . A Sikh, if he
places a cap or helmet of any type on his head (even over or under a
turban), is condemned to hell. (Hell, here, means excommunication
from me Sikh faith).
27
 Kirpaan (The Sikh Sword)

The word has a special place in the history of various religions,

cultures and nations. For a Sikh, “Kirpaan" is an article of faith. For an
initiated Sikh, wearing of a Kirpaan is obligatory. An initiated Sikh,
not wearing a Kirpaan, would be in breach of his faith.
Although its form has undergone several changes, sword has
been a part of the history of the world since prehistoric periods.
References pertaining to sword can be found in the history of the Jews,
the Christians, the Muslims, the Sikhs, the Japanese, and other national
and religious groups.
Matthew has quoted Jesus Christ as saying, "I have come not to
bring peace but sword." Mohammed considered the sword to be sacred
to Islam, The Hindu goddess Durga is shown carrying several weapons
but a raised sword in her right hand is the most striking feature of her
pictures.
The Sikh Kirpaan, however, is different from the sword of
Christianity, Islam or Hinduism. Christ's sword is an alternative for
peace; Prophet Mohammed advocated the use of sword for achieving
political and religious objectives and Durga's sword is a weapon to kill
the enemy. In all these cases, the sword is used as a weapon, for
offensive action. On the other hand, the Sikh Kirpaan is essentially
"defensive." The Sikh Kirpaan is not to be carried raised in hand. It is
required to be worn in a Gaatra {a sword belt) on the left side of the
body, with the humility of a saint.
Kirpaan was granted the status of "article of faith" by Guru
Gobind Singh Sahib at Anandpur Sahib when he revealed Khalsa.
However, it does not mean that Kirpaan was not sacred to the Sikhs
before this date. Right from Guru Nanak Sahib, Kirpaan was a part and
parcel of a Sikh's being. Commenting on Moghul invasion on the Sikh
Homeland, Guru Nanak Sahib had given the message to the Sikhs to
be prepared with a defending Kirpaan.
The Sixth Nanak, Guru Hargobind Sahib, wore two Kirpaans,
one representing the temporal and the other transcendental domain of
the Sikh cosmos. While he asked his followers to wear defending
Kirpaans, he issued strict directions forbidding the use of Kirpaan for
an offensive purpose.
Maubad Zulafqar Ardastani {formerly believed as Muhsan
Fani), in the seventeenth century acknowledged the-Sikh position with
regard to Kirpaan and confirmed in his book Dabistan-e-Mazahib that
the Sikh Gurus never used his Kirpaan in langer.
28
 A Hindu teacher, Samrath Ram Das (guide of the Maratha ruler
Shivaji) once met Guru Hargobind Sahib and wanted to know the
reason why Guru Sahib had chosen to wear Kirpaan. Guru Sahib told
him that the Sikh Kirpaan was required for the protection of the weak,
the poor, the downtrodden and the oppressed from the tyrant and
annihilation of the cruel aggressors.
Guru Gobind Singh Sahib revealed Khalsa, the sovereign
people. Khalsa, being the direct subject of the Almighty, owes its
spiritual and temporal sovereignty to Waheguru (the Almighty). The
Khalsa (of the Almighty) was granted five "articles of faith": Kes
(unshorn hair), Kangha (the Sikh comb), Kara (the Sikh bracelet),
Kachhehra (the Sikh shorts) and Kirpaan (the Sikh sword). Although
these five articles were already a part and parcel of a Sikh's life, but
since the revelation of Khalsa, these five became an integral and
inseparable part of an initiated Sikh's being. From the moment of
initiation until death, Khalsa has an obligation not to part with any one
of these five articles of faith, at any time.
It is remarkable to note that Guru Gobind Singh Sahib declared
a Kirpaan and not dagger, sabre, rapier, scimitar, gun or pistol as an
article of faith. Kirpaan is a combination of two words: Kirpa (mercy)
and "Aan" (honour). Thus the term Kirpaan means "an article to be
used with mercy, for protection of honour/life." The other meaning
which one can derive is: "an article which blesses honour." In both
cases, the motif is that the Sikh Kirpaan can be used only for defence
and not for offence. It can not be used in the cases of ordinary fighting
for non-sacred purposes. Guru Gobind Singh Sahib did not grant status
of "article of faith" to gun. (The Guru, however, did not prohibit the
use of these weapons in case of necessity).
In the Sikh religion Khanda (double-edged sword) enjoys a
great significance. It is used for preparation of Amrit (nectar for the
Sikh initiation). Although Khanda is sacred in Sikhism, it is not an
article of faith to be carried always on person.
Sword has also been a part of social and cultural traditions of many
different communities. The practice of giving a sword as a mark of
respect or in recognition of one's exceptional contribution towards the
society is as old as the sword itself. People living in the United States,
England, and the Sikh Homeland among others share this practice. In
the United States, the custom of presentation of sword was very
popular until the later part of the nineteenth century. Interestingly,
some swords were awarded "by vote" in lotteries. during the US Civil
war. These presentation swords are usually richly crafted and vary in
sizes.
In the Sikh history and traditions, Kirpaan has enjoyed a very
special
29
place. Anyone making contribution towards the betterment of
humanity or a special contribution for the Sikh nation, is honoured
with the award of a Kirpaan. Unfortunately, few opportunist
politicians, who, for the sake of political expediency, arranged with
their sycophant followers, to be the recipients of such undeserved
honours, have corrupted this noble tradition. They might succeed in
their nefarious designs to confuse the unknown people in the western
countries but the Sikh community is too well aware of their
manipulations to be taken in.
Attacks on the Sikh ideology, their cherished traditions, and
even the articles of their faith, have often required them to fight
protracted battles to enjoy the basic rights, taken for granted by most
other people. Sikh Kirpaan is one such item. At one time, the ruling
British Government in India was called upon to establish the legal
status of the Sikh Kirpaan. The British Governor General of India
issued a notification (no. 393-821 VI of June 5, 1928), making a clear
ruling on the issue. It said: "No restriction of shape, length and size of
a Kirpaan is prescribed for the Sikhs."
An order of F.C. Taylor, Deputy Inspector General of Police
(Letter no. 3879 dated November 1, 1936), finally resolved the
question of Kirpaan. It said: "Government has recently issued orders
that prohibition and directions of section 13 of the Indian Arms Act,
shall not operate in the case of the Sikhs carrying Kirpaan; from this it
follows that Kirpaans are not arms within the meaning of that section.
Sikhs can, therefore, carry any number of any size of Kirpaans."
For a Sikh, Kirpaan, is an essential article of faith. It is not a
symbol. It is strictly obligatory and not optional. A replica of Kirpaan
can not be used. Kirpaan reminds a Sikh of one's duty to do the right
action; to defend the poor, the weak, the oppressed and the persecuted;
to always remain prepared to the call of the nation, the society and the
humanity. The Sikh Kirpaan stands for self-esteem; justice, honour,
righteousness and readiness for duty and sacrifice.

 Hair, Beard and Moustache

A Sikh must not cut hair from any part of his body in any
situation. There is no concession or exemption on this issue. It is final
and obligatory. Cutting of hair excommunicates a Sikh. Before one
wishes to rejoin Sikh faith, one has to keep unshorn hair and get
initiation. An initiated Sikh, at the time of initiation, is given command
not to have any social relations with those who cut their hair
(Sirgumm).
Hair have significant place in other religions too. The founders
of Judaism, Christianity, Islam etc. kept unshorn hair. Most of the
great philosophers, scientists and writers keep unshorn hair. Hair is
considered to be a source of great spiritual, mental and physical
energy.
Normally, a human being has 25 thousand to 125 thousand hair
on his head (beard and moustache are extra). Hair begin growing soon
after one's birth (some children have small hair even at the time of
their birth). The growth of hair stops after some stage.
Hair growth needs a lot of proteins. When cut, hair grow very soon.
New hair too need protein. So cutting of hair leads to loss of protein in
the body. On the other hand hair length and growth stops at a
particular stage. From this stage hair don't need protein. So not-cutting
of hair saves protein, hence energy of body.
Hair is essential for proper functioning of bones, teeth and
nervous system. Longer the hair, higher the production of vitamin D in
the body. By cutting hair we loose vitamin D also. Some of us have to
resort to vitamin D tablets and other medicines or special food simply
because of our folly of cutting or trimming our hair.
Hair protect us from extreme heat as well as extreme cold. Hair
is also very helpful in conducting in our body warmth in winter and
coolness in summer. On the other hand those who cut their hair have to
cover their heads with some headgear to save their heads from the
effects of weather and climate. some headgears don't give proper
protection to the head. It is only unshorn
hair which are the best possible safety for head from the adverse effect
of weather.
By cutting hair, one looses a lot of zinc, chromium, lead and
selenium also. One needs these metallic elements to keep one's body
fit. Women need these metallic elements during the period of
menstruation and pregnancy
31
more than men. Cutting of hair has an adverse effect on eyesight too.
Regular combing of hair increases eyesight.
Cutting hair leads to early loss of teeth. Cutting moustache leads to
diseases of breath. One who cuts his/her hair is more prone to insanity
and psychological disorders.
Similarly, beards and moustaches have a special role in a man's
personality. It is beard and moustache that make a man look 'manly'.
One looks feminine by shaving his beard and moustache. Nature has
given hair to man due to its necessity for his body. Otherwise, like a
female, man would also have been deprived of this gift by nature.
Hence, scientifically speaking, it is necessary for human beings to
keep unshorn hair.
As far as Sikh religion is concerned hair, beard, moustache are
obligatory for a Sikh. Guru Sahib have clearly said that if a Sikh cuts
his/her hair, he/ she does not remain a Sikh. There is no concept of a
"modern Sikh" or a "clean shaven" Sikh. A clean-shaven Punjabi is
either a Hindu Punjabi or die one who has renounced Sikhism. One
cannot cut hair and still call himself/ herself a Sikh. A Sikh is a Sikh
and without hair he/she ceases to be so.
There are several references to hair in Gurbani (Sikh hymns).
See pp 199, 387, 471, 500, 745, 749, 750, 810, 1084, 1339, 1419 etc.
of Guru Granth Sahib). Hukamnamas issued by Guru Gobind Singh
Sahib, prohibit cutting of hair as hair is 'seal of Guru' and by loosing
one's "seal" one becomes false, base, spurious, bogus, phoney.
A Sikh, in his daily prayer, at least twice a day, seeks from the
Almighty, die gift of power to live throughout his life with unshorn
hair. Though, these days, a very large number of persons who were
born as Sikhs have cut their hair and it is a shame that they still they
express their claim to Sikhism. They are hypocrite liars as they have
no right to do so. When a Sikh gets initiation, the Punj Piaray (who
perform the ceremony of initiation) command in unequivocal words
the four prohibitions to be strictly followed and keeping unshorn hair
is die first and foremost of these four. Disobeying this commandment
makes a Sikh (in fact former Sikh) an apostate and he/she has to get re-
initiation before calling himself/herself a Sikh.
Hair, for a Sikh, is not only hair on head. It includes beard and
moustache too. A fine-looking Sikh is one who keeps untied (flowing)
beard-Such a figure is known as Darshani Darha (respectable beard).
There are some references to beard and moustache in Gurbani. But, in
these references, the Sikhs have been told, besides having Darshani
Darha, Truthful Living and love for the Guru and the Almighty:
True are the beards which touch Guru's feet (p. 1419)
32
 Only those faces and beards are true
which speak Truth and practise Truth (p. 1419)
Guru Arjan Sahib told in clear words that if one has fine beard
but troubles the poor people and does not live a Truthful life, will be
punished by God:
One who haughtily strokes his beard on poor people
Will be burnt in the fear of hell {p. 199)
The first reference to be beard, in Guru Granth Sahib, however,
has been made in a hymn by Sheikh Farid:
See, 0 Farid! what has happened to you beard, it has grown grey, yours
days in this world are numbered
now your death is approaching (but you are still living ungodly life)
(p. 1378)
According to a historical source, Guru Ram Das Sahib had a
long beard. Once, Sri Chand, elder son of Guru Nanak Sahib, met the
Fourth Nanak. On seeing Guru Sahib's long beard, Sri Chand asked
him "How do you have such a long beard?" At this Guru Ram Das
Sahib told him, "it is for cleaning the feet of senior people {like you)."
This story might not be exactly true but it speaks of Guru Ram Das
Sahib's humbleness, generosity, saintliness and intelligence.
Beard, otherwise, is considered as a sign of wisdom, seniority,
and grandeur. Famous Punjabi poet Shah Mohammed, too, has
referred to turban and beard as symbolic of a man's honour. While
addressing the Sikh soldiers going to battlefield, he says:
0 friends ! preserve the honour of turbans and beards"
Beard is such a sign of seniority, intelligence and wisdom that
if someone, having nice beard, makes some (major) mistake or shows
some ethical lapse, he is immediately warned:
He has a lovely beard
But is a 'black crow* at heart
When a white-bearded person makes a mistake, he is told to
take care of his white fine-looking beard. One, who gets a bad name
for his misdoing *s chided with the words "you have insulted your
beard" or " you did not preserve the honour of your beard."
As beard symbolises seniority and generosity, moustache
symbolises masculinity and prowess. Among Hindus the highest
punishment for a man is shaving off his moustache'. Nowadays,
however, Hindus shave off their head, and moustache themselves
without knowing what they are doing to themselves
33
 On the other hand, show of moustache, in an improper manner,
is a negative activity too. Those who fix their moustache upward and
also make unethical signs, are known as Badmash (wicked and flirts).
This exhibition is disliked by society.
Moustache, too, is a symbol of honour in Punjabi society.
Touching the moustache of a tiger is almost an impossible act.
Insulting a Sikh is like touching the moustache of a tiger. If somebody
gets insulted due to some reason, he is chided as "having got his
moustache lowered or trimmed." Such idioms are associated with
beard too. Some one showing ungrateful attitude is said to be
"plucking beard while sitting in the lap of a nice person."
Beard and moustache are a part and parcel of Sikh-life since
Guru Nanak Sahib. In 1695 (a couple of years before revelation of
Khalsa), Guru Gobind Singh Sahib made it obligatory for a Sikhs. It is
an inseparable part of a Sikh's being. A Sikh is identified specially
because of his beard and turban.
Among the Sikhs, the most respectable and representative
beard is an untied, flowing beard. By the first half of the nineteenth
century, there was no concept of tying the beard. Sher Singh (son of
Maharaja Ranjit Singh) was, perhaps, the first Sikh who tied his beard.
He separated beards from his chin and tied it upward over his cheeks.
In spite of a prince's action, no Sikh tried to practice it. However, in
the beginning of the twentieth century several Sikhs began tying beard
with a net or fixer or gel or in some other manners.
After 1947, some Sikhs began trimming their beards and
moustaches. Up to 1960s, there was a very small percentage of such
persons who shaved off their heads, beards or moustaches. By 1978,
the number of such persons rose very high. The Indian government, as
it is headed by the Hindus, began encouraging, promoting, helping and
patronising those who renounced their hair, beards and moustaches.
Majority of the Hindu officers gave jobs and promotions to those who
had insulted their hair. It resulted into disappearing of beards,
moustaches and hair.
In foreign countries several Sikhs, partly due to racial insults
and partly due to fashion, renounced hair and beards. In fact, it was
their weakness as well as their non-commitance to Sikh faith, which
made them cut their hair. By 1978, it was so startling a situation that
on some occasions it was almost impossible to find even five Sikhs
with hair and beards. However, the killings of 13 Sikhs, at Amritsar,
on April 13, 1978 and particularly the attack by the Indian army on
Darbar Sahib (4.6.1984) that brought a major change in the Sikh
attitude and thousands of Sikhs in foreign countries and hundreds of
thousands of Sikhs in the Sikh homeland, not only stopped cutting
their hair but also got initiation. But, during 1992-1995, the mass
killings of the Sikh youths
34
by Beant Singh and K.P. Gill in the Sikh homeland stopped initiation
movement in the Punjab.
A Sikh must not dye his/her hair, beard or moustache. This act
is liable to religious punishment. Similarly, a Sikh must not pluck
white/grey hair from any part of his body. It is a misconceived notion
that dying hair can conceal one's age. Nor it is true that a black-haired
or dark-brown haired person is [or looks) stronger or younger. Those
who dye their white hair are, in fact, mentally weak persons who don't
want to accept their seniority. Strictly speaking, one who dyes one's
hair to conceal age is not worth credibility as he can try to deceive
others in any other situation, under any other garb, in any other
manner, with another excuse. Concealing, deceiving, cheating are a
general way of behaviour.
A European writer, while commenting upon the Sikhs' hair and
beards, once said "the best appearance of a nice man on this earth is a
Sikh with untrimmed beard." He further said, "the worst appearance of
a person is a Sikh who has insulted his beard."
A look at the histories of different religions shows ,a
remarkable factor common to all the religions. The founders of all the
religions of the world kept unshorn hair. Moses, Christ, Mohammed,
Buddha, all kept unshorn hair. All the great philosophers, scientists
and intellectuals keep (even now) unshorn hair. Socrates, Plato,
Aristotle, Newton, Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth, Walt Whitman,
Kali Das, Tagore, Acharya Rajneesh, all kept unshorn hair.
According to Christianity and Islam, Adam (according to them
the first man on this earth) was the one with unshorn hair. In Islamic
and European world no one had ever trimmed one's hair till the
beginning of the twentieth century. In Egypt, Turkey, Persia, Greece,
Iraq (then Mesopotamia) no body ever trimmed hair. In Turkey, only
the slaves were not allowed to keep unshorn hair. Shaving hair meant
slavery. The same was die rule in the Hindu world. A sinner or a
criminal was condemned to shaving his beard and cutting his hair. In
Britain, Henry I (1154-89) was the first clean-shaven king. But Henry
HI (1216-1272) started keeping hair again. After the death of Edward
III (1377), the British rulers stopped keeping unshorn hair. By seventh
century, all the Anglo-Saxons used to keep unshorn hair. William I
had issued orders that the ordinary people won't be allowed to keep
unshorn hair as only rulers had a right to keep unshorn hair, as it was a
God-given privilege of the royal family only.
Russia, too, has interesting history about hair. Peter, the
Russian king, in 1705, levied a tax on those who wanted to keep
unshorn beard. Queen Catherine finally withdrew this tax.
35
 Beard is a symbol of piety not only in the east but also in the
west. If someone wishes to ensure one's sincerity of promise, he says
"I swear by my chin". Here chin means beard. It has been a belief in
the west that a man without beard is not a trustworthy person.
Similarly, a woman with a beard was condemned as a witch. Now, this
belief does not exist anymore. Sikhism does not believe in the taboo
that a man without natural beard or a woman with beard are evil
beings. According to Sikhism it is due to hormones only.
In Sikhism, hair, beard, moustache are an obligation. There can
not be any exception. A man is a Sikh only if he has unshorn hair on
each and every part of his body. (But, only unshorn hair do not make a
Sikh. One must get initiation and live one's Me according to
fundamental principles of Sikhism).
A Sikh should not tie his beard as only flowing natural
(flowing) beards is the genuine representative of Sikh faith. There
have been attempts to ban natural flowing beard in India too. Once the
British government in India banned flowing beard in the army. It was
strongly reacted to by the whole of the Sikh-world. The Indian
government, too, repeated the same after 1947. Even today, undeclared
rules have been promulgated and a Sikh soldier is not allowed to keep
flowing beard.
Hair, beard and moustache are sacred and respectable and
symbol of seniority and they shall ever remain so. A natural man is
one who has unshorn hair. Nature has provided this masculine gift to
men with some purpose. Hence, cutting or trimming hair is unnatural.
Hair, moustache, beard are a sign of seniority, wisdom, honour,
credibility and beauty. Their absence points to incredibility, cheating,
hypocrisy, weakness, deficiency and unnatural activity. Moreover, it is
like disobeying nature.

 THE

WESTERN FRONT
 The Sikh’s Sacrifices for Belgium
Battles of Ieper, Belgium (1914-1915)

As soon as the war broke out in early August 1914, both

British and the French were mobilizing their respective empires.
Soldiers and labourers from all over the world were brought to the
Western Front. More than 30 different nationalities were engaged in
the Ypres Salient.
We must not forget that it is very difficult to define a
nationality. For instance, Belgian includes Walloons and Flemings,
French includes Bretons, Occitans and Flemings, who were often
unable to speak or understand French. The British includes of course,
English, Scots, Welsh, Irish, Channel Islanders, and I might have even
forgotten some.
I’ll just mention some nationalities apart from the main warring
nation such as the British, German, French and Belgians. At a later
stage in the war there were Americans and Portuguese troops. Further
on there were Danes and Poles in the German army, as well as Russian
and Italian P.O.Ws who were forced to work on the roads for the
Germans. In the French Army, one would find Moroccan, Algerian,
Tunisian, Senegalese, other West Africans, and troops from French
Guyana as well as labourers from Indochina - the Ammanites.
The British, however, undoubtedly disposed of the world’s
greatest empire in 1914. Firstly, there were the Dominions; Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa in addition to the crown
colonies of Newfoundland and, of course, our main subject today -
Sikhs from British India. It is quite obvious that even here a uniform
sense of nation remained blatantly absent.
The New Zealand contingent counted a Maori pioneer battalion
amongst their ranks. The CEF boasted both French-speaking
Canadians as well as native Americans, often deployed as scouts.
Some units were comprised exclusively of Japanese troops. The South
African Expeditionary Force consisted of white soldiers (in the
brigade) and separate black labour units such as the Cape Coloured
Labour Battalion, and the South African Native Labour Corps.
The then troops of the British Indian army or British Indian
Labour Corps would, in our present day and age, be hailing from
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma or Nepal. Even some smaller
constituent parts of the British Empire sent their sons to Flanders’
fields, Egypt (Egyptian Labour Corps), BWI (the Caribbean and
mainly Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados) and Bermuda, the
Fiji Islands (Fijian Labour Corps). Then again, the British army itself
counted amongst their ranks white Rhodesians.
39
 The universally renowned coolies - the locals called them
chinks - were, in fact, hired Chinese labourers who served in three
armies - the British, the French and the American. There was even a
Russian labour corps present in the British army. This enumeration is,
without any doubt, incomplete. I have restricted the list to those
nationalities whose presence in Flanders during the Great War is
undeniably proven by evidence of written documents, testimonials or
material and facts.
But let’s get back to our main subject of this talk, the Sikhs in
the British Indian army and its presence in the Ypres Salient. This
means that I will hardly mention Neuve-Chapelle, the main British
Indian sector on the Western Front. Though only 25 miles south of
Ypres, Neuve-Chapelle is not part of the Ypres Salient. In fact, the
British Indian Army Corps was only deployed twice in the Salient, but
each time at very crucial moments, at the end of October 1914 during
the 1st Battle of Ypres, and at the end of April 1915, during the 2nd
Battle.
But first of all I need to give a short introduction on the British
Indian army. The Indian army was organised in a similar way as the
British army but there were some significant differences. First of all, it
had it’s own military law. Secondly, in the British Indian Army a
regiment equals a battalion, although there are some exceptions to this
rule. This means, for instance, that the 15th Sikhs does not mean the
15th battalion of the Sikhs regiment, but the 15th regiment!
A British Indian infantry division was composed of three
brigades with four battalions (after the battle of Neuve-Chapelle in
April 1915, five battalions). One of these four battalions was British,
among other reasons as an element of controlling the Indian troops. An
British Indian battalion consisted in theory of 13 officers and 750 rank
and file - less than its British counterpart.
In my story, only one division is involved - the Lahore
Division - the other division of the Indian Army Corps was the Meerut
Division. I give you the composition of the Lahore Division in October
1914:

Infantry
Ferozepore Brigade: 1st Connaught Rangers
57th Wilde’s Rifles
9th Bhopal Infantry
129th Duke of Connaught’s Own Baluchis
(April 1915: + 4th London)
Jullundur Brigade: 1st Manchesters
15th Ludhiana Sikhs
47th Sikhs
59th Scinde Rifles (Frontier Force)
(April 1915: - 15th Ludhiana Sikhs, + 4th Suffolks, + 40th Pathans)
 Sirhind Brigade 1/ Highland Light Infantry
1/1st Gurkhas
1/4th Gurkhas
125th Napiers Rifles
(April 1915: + 4/(King’s) Liverpool Regt, + 15th Ludhiana Sikhs)
Divisional Troops Artillery
15th Lancers (Cureton’s Multanis)
34th Sikh Pioneers
20th and 21st Companies Bombay Sappers and Miners
5th, 11th, 18th Brigades, RFA
109th Heavy Battery
Field Ambulances
7th & 8th Field Ambulance (British)
111th, 112th & 113th Field Ambulance (Indian)
There were ethnic mixed battalions, such as the 57th Wilde’s
Rifles (8 companies, of which 2 Sikhs, 2 Dogras, 2 Pathans, 2 Punjabi
Muslims) and ethnic homogeneous battalions, such as the 47th Sikhs
(only Sikhs). It was a clear policy of the British to ensure a spirit of
competition between the different peoples. It is common knowledge
that Sikhs and Gurkhas were considered to be martial races.
There were two types of officers, British and Indian with the
British always commanding the Indian. The higher ranks had the same
names as in the British army, but there were some specific ranks such
as subadar major (cf major), subadar (cf captain) & jemadar (cf
lieutenant - commanding a platoon).
At the level of the NCOs, Indian terms were used: havildar
major (sergeant-major), havildar naik (corporal) and lance naik. A
private was a sepoy. The cavalry had its own ranks such as risaldar
(captain), woordie-major (Indian adjutant), kot daffadar (sergeant
major) etc. A trooper was a sowar. It is also important to emphasise
the very particular relationship that existed between the British
officers, their Indian NCOs and the rank and file. The British officers
did speak the local languages and the relationship towards the Indian
troops they were commanding is best described as paternalistic. There
are numerous accounts of mutual respect from the officers towards the
Indians and vice versa.
The story of the British Indian army on the Western Front
starts on 6th August 1914. On that day, the War Council asks the
Indian government to send two infantry divisions and a cavalry
brigade to Egypt. The divisions chosen were the Lahore and the
Meerut Divisions, later followed by the Secunderabad Cavalry Brigade
which together formed the Indian Army Corps.
On 27th August the British Government decides to send the
Indian divisions to France in order to reinforce the B.E.F. that had
recently been forced to withdraw after Mons. Meanwhile, the Lahore
Division was already on its way to the front. Its new destination was
Marseilles, where it arrived by the end of September.
On its way to France, the Lahore Division left one of its
brigades near the Suez Canal, and, as some units of the Jullundur
Brigade only left India by the end of September, it was only the
Ferozopore Brigade that was at its full strength.
Marseilles must have been a colourful sight in those days as it
was also the port where most of the French colonial troops arrived.
The British officers compared the behaviour of their troops with those
of the Algerians, Moroccans, Tunisians and Senegalese. During the 14
months that the British Indian Corps stayed in Europe, Marseilles was
the Indian base port. The Indian troops were enthusiastically received
by the French population.
For the British Indian troops, Europe was a totally new and a
strange experience. They did not understand the language and were not
understood and their culture was completely different. The Indians and
the French or the Belgians looked upon one another with strange eyes.
Nevertheless, the Indians were well received by the French population.
From Marseilles the Indian troops went north, over Orleans.
When the 47th Sikhs were moving up to the front, they were billeted in
a large monastery near Saint-Omer on 20th October 1914 and were
well received by the monks. However, the curious troops continually
scrutinised the statues of the twelve apostles in the main corridor of the
abbey. Finally, they accepted their British officers’ explanation that
these were images of Christian gurus!
On 22nd October 1914, the Ferozepore Brigade arrives in the
“new-born” Ypres Salient. They are sent to the trenches between
Hollebeke in the north and Messines in the south. The trenches were
not an uninterrupted line then, but was more a series of loose trenches,
without the complex system with saps, communication trenches etc.
that we are to know later in the War.
The 1st Connaught Rangers - the British battalion that
belonged to the Ferozepore Brigade - were the first to have their
baptism of fire. The first Indian battalion that had to go into the firing
line was the 57th Wilde’s Rifles in the vicinity of Wijtschate -
Oosttaverne.
Sepoys from that unit are depicted on a famous picture taken in
front of Café ‘t Nieuw Staenijzer in Wijtschate around that date. The
photographs are from the IWM. However, the caption in the IWM is
wrong. It says that these are soldiers from the 129th Baluchis. The
mistake is made again and again. Strangely enough, (as it is clearly
readable) the shoulder badge of the sepoy in the front is “57” and not
“129”. No doubt the mistake was made because Khudadad Khan VC,
belonged to the 129th Baluchis.
 On that day, 22nd October 1914, we also see the first Indian
war casualty of the Western Front; Naik Laturia of the 57th Wilde’s
Rifles, commemorated on the Menin Gate. The arrival of the Indian
troops went on and on. Father Achiel Van Walleghem, priest of
Dikkebus, writes in his war diary that, during the whole night of 22nd
-23rd October, the Indian troops are brought in by London double
decker buses.
According to Van Walleghem, it was also the first day that the
War could be clearly heard in his village. The next day, on 23rd
October, the 129th Baluchis entered the trenches at Hollebeke while
the last battalion of the Ferozepore Brigade, the 9th Bhopal Infantry,
was arriving. The Connaughts and the Wilde’s Rifles were placed
under command of the 1st British Cavalry Division, the Baluchis
under command of the 2nd cavalry division. The rest of the Lahore
Division, now without two of its three brigades, was deployed on the
other side of the French border.
On 26th October, a grey and misty day, the troops of the
British Indian army attacked the German trenches near Gapaard, a
hamlet of Messines. It had rained the whole night and the trenches
were full with mud and water. Remark: trenches were considered as
being very temporary and thus they were no more than shallow
ditches. As mentioned, there was not yet a continuous line of defence.
Here and there were “big gaps” between the different positions
through which it was easy for the enemy to infiltrate in the lines.
Above all, it was more difficult to distinguish an enemy trench
from an old trench abandoned by their own troops. The result of the
attack on 26th October 1914 was several hundred yards but as the
initial position was by all means more favourable than the new line,
the troops were withdrawn again to their first positions. This caused
much incomprehension and even disenchantment among the Indian
rank and file.
On 30th October, after a heavy initial bombardment, the
Germans attacked the Indian troops from the ridge of the Zandvoorde.
The Indian and British troops were by far in the minority, had little
ammunition and sparse artillery support, so it was obvious that it
would be very hard to stand to. Two companies of the 57th Wilde’s
Rifles withdrew to Messines, where they were dispersed in the streets
of the town. There was one officer there to point out the direction of
HQ in Wijtschate, but some got lost and arrived in Kemmel, some 2.5
miles wrong! Other units of the 57th Wilde’s Rifles were also forced
to withdraw. Thus, a Sikh company had to take a new position in the
neighbourhood of a battery near the mill east of the Wijtschate-
Messines Road.
Another company did not get the order to withdraw as all means of
communication were cut or lost. When the message finally came
through, it was too late as they were completely surrounded by
 German troops. The Baluchis too, in the neighbourhood of the
chateau on the other side of the canal and the railway, had very
difficult times when standing.
The battle raged on until the next day. After a bombardment
that lasted the whole night, Messines was stormed by nine German
battalions. They overwhelmed the trenches of the 57th Wilde’s Rifles
and many units of this battalion were literally annihilated. Jemadar
Ram Singh was the only survivor of his platoon.
Another Sikh, jemadar Kapur Singh, kept on fighting until
everyone else was out of action, except for one wounded sepoy. As he
did not want to surrender, he committed suicide with his last bullet. All
British officers of the 57th Wilde’s Rifles, present on this part of the
front, were killed. On that same day 31st October 1914 in the vicinity
of Hollebeke, the action took place for which, some months later,
Khudadad Khan of the 129th Baluchis was going to be the first Indian
to be awarded the Victoria Cross.
During the night of 30th-31st October, the Baluchis had lost a
position near a farm because they were unable to discern German from
French soldiers. So they saw too late that they were approached by
Germans and not by the French, who were holding the line, to the left
of them. Khudadad Khan belonged to the company operating one of
the two machine guns of the battalion. He himself got heavily
wounded during the fights later that day, but nevertheless kept on
operating the only surviving machine gun. Just before, the other
machine gun was lost through shrapnel fire, the British officer
wounded and five men of the unit were killed. Finally, when the
Germans were getting close, he destroyed his machine gun and
pretended to be dead. During the following night, he crawled through
the enemy lines and was able to rejoin his company.
The losses of the 57th Wilde’s Rifles and the 129th Baluchis
were great during the last two days of October 1914. The Wilde’s
Rifles lost 300 out of 750, the Baluchis had 240 men killed, wounded
or taken as POWs.
During these events, the Jullundur Brigade was just on the
other side of the border, in the vicinity of Neuve-Chapelle - soon to
become the Indian sector. There too the British Indian troops were
thrown into the firing line from upon arrival. From 29th October 1914,
the complete Meerut Division did arrive there. But as I will limit my
talk to the Ypres Salient, I will not focus on that.
Once again, I want to emphasise that the whole of the Lahore
Division was not deployed during 1st Ypres. Battalions, half battalions
and even companies, were separated and deployed separately in
support of diverse British divisions. All this happened while the
British Indian troops at least expected to stay together. On 29th
October 1914, General Willcocks wrote in his diary:
 Where is my Lahore Division? Sirhind Brigade: left in Egypt,
Ferozopore Brigade: somewhere in the north, divided in three or four
pieces, Jullundur Brigade: the Manchesters in the south with the 5th
division, the 47th Sikhs half with the one or the other British division,
for the other half somewhere else. The 59th and 15th Sikhs: in the
trenches…
It is clear that this was not really favourable for the morale of
the Indian rank and file.
Thousands of miles away from home, in completely different
surroundings, and inadequately adapted to the dreadful weather
conditions, the Indian troops fought for a cause they hardly
understood. I have already emphasised the particular relationship
between the British officers and their Indian rank and file.
When a lot of these officers died in the first fights, many Indian
soldiers felt dazed and left alone without those officers who
understood them and knew their culture, their habits etc. Indian
companies of which the commanding officer was lost, were brought
under command of British units where no one understood them. Also,
it was hard for the Indian troops to cope with some of the modern
technologies. In the first weeks they fired at every airplane to be seen
in the sky, no matter if it was friend or foe. They could not believe that
such a flying monster could have anything but bad intentions. After a
while an airplane was no longer a novelty and they hardly looked up
when one was flying over.
In early November, the Ferozopore Brigade was moved to the
Indian sector between Givenchy and Neuve-Chapelle. On 7th
December 1914 the Sirhind Brigade arrived from Egypt, together with
reinforcements from India. Mid-November saw the arrival of the 1st
Indian cavalry division, one month later followed by the 2nd Indian
Cavalry division. By the way, these two cavalry divisions would
remain on the Western Front until the end of the War, while the rest of
the Indian Army Corps was moved to Mesopotamia in late 1915.
In December 1914, there was heavy fighting in the Indian
sector - a sector known for its bad trenches and, on 10th March, the
Battle of Neuve Chapelle was fought, truly carnage for the British
Indian troops. This explains why the beautiful Indian Memorial to the
Missing is to be found in that small French village. The losses after the
Battle of Neuve-Chapelle were so heavy that the Indian Corps had to
be reorganised. From then on, every brigade consisted of two British
and three Indian battalions.
On 22nd April 1915 at 5 p.m. the 2nd Battle of Ypres began
with the first succesful gas attack in history. Again the British Indian
Corps - not yet recovered from the terrible Battle of Neuve-Chapelle -
was called upon to fill a gap in the line. On 23rd April, the 1st Army,
to which the Indian Corps belonged, received the order to prepare the
Lahore Division for a move at very short notice. The next day the
division marched northwards.
In the evening, HQ was installed in Godewaersvelde, called
Gertie-wears-velvet by the British Tommy. The main part of the
division was in Boeschepe on the French-Belgian border. In the early
morning of 25th April 1915, the column arrived in Ouderdom, a
hamlet between Vlamertinge and Reninghelst. Father Van Walleghem
is even more precise:
The Indians are staying on the farms of Maerten, Lievens and
Desmarets.
Upon arrival in Ouderdom, the men were exhausted having
marched for a fortnight over slippery cobblestones (because of the
rain) through hilly countryside. Only in Boeschepe had they had a
short rest. The Lahore Division was now under command of the
British 2nd Army of Smith-Dorrien. Among the British Indian troops
the warning was spread that, in case of the use of gas, a handkerchief
(or the pagri-dastaar) was to be placed over the mouth. It was
recommended to soak the handkerchief (or pagri) in urine.
After the gas attack, the Germans had gained a considerable
portion of the northern part of the Ypres Salient. Now the British,
together with the French troops, wanted to make a counter-attack in
order to force the Germans to withdraw from this new position. On the
morning of 26th April 1915, the Lahore Division assembled between
the Ieper-Langemark road on the left and Wieltje on the right, some
600 yards north of la Brique. The Ferozepore Brigade moved to its
position through Vlamertinge, but the Jullundur Brigade went to
Wieltje by the road winding along the Ypres ramparts. There they
were caught in a heavy bombardment.
Most of the shells dropped in the water of the moat or exploded
against the heavy walls of the ramparts. Sometimes the men shouted
when a shell fell into the water. Nevertheless, one heavy shell fell in
the midst of a company of the 40th Pathans, resulting in 23 casualties.
As soon as the division was deployed in the fields near Wieltje, they
were shelled with tear gas. German airplanes were doing recce flights
above the heads of the Indian troops while nothing was done against
them. Not a single allied aircraft was to be seen. On the other side of
the Ieper-Langemark road, French colonial troops were deployed, on
the right side of the Lahore Division, the British Vth army Corps. The
Ferozopore Brigade took a position to the left, the Jullundur Brigade to
the right. The Sirhind Brigade was in reserve near Saint-Jean with the
Divisional HQ in Potijze.
After a preceding bombardment of only 40 minutes, at a
quarter past two in the afternoon on 26th April 1915, the order to
attack was given. Two officers per unit had been sent forward for a
reconnaissance of the ground. None of them had returned. There was
no information at all on the exact position of the German trenches, nor
on at what distance they were (actually they were at a distance of
1500-2000 yards).
The rank and file of the Lahore Division were exhausted after a
heavy march and their position was exactly localised by the enemy as
the German planes had been able to scout without any obstacle.
Moreover, the troops first had to cross open ground, varying from
several hundred yards to almost a mile before reaching the first
German line and thus the real line of attack. The relief was not
favourable either, as the ground first rises slightly over a few hundred
yards, then over another few hundred yards it declines slightly before
rising again towards the German frontline.
The British and Indian artillery was ineffective as they did not
know the precise location of the German lines either. Once out of the
trenches, every sense of direction was gone and the various units in the
attack were mixing up, French, Moroccans, British and Indians. After
the first gentle slope, they arrived in an inferno of gunfire, machine
gun fire and shells, among which also tear gas shells. The men fell by
the dozen and very soon the attack was stopped. The reinforcements
did not arrive.
It is obvious that the number of casualties was extremely
elevated. The 47th Sikhs, which was in the first line of attack, lost 348
men from a total of 444, or 78 % of the battalion! It was almost
annihilated. In total the attack resulted in almost 2000 casualties in the
two brigades. During this attack, Corporal Issy Smith of the 1st
Manchesters, which belonged to the Jullundur Brigade won a Victoria
Cross. Amidst heavy shelling and continuous gunfire, he had
ceaselessly evacuated the wounded.
Also Mula Singh and Rur Singh of the 47th Sikhs
distinguished themselves by saving many lives. Bhan Singh, a Sikh of
the 57th Wilde’s Rifles, was wounded in the face early during the
attack. Nevertheless, he stayed near his officer, Captain Banks. When
Banks fell, Bhan Singh thought just of one thing, bringing Banks back,
dead or alive. Weakened as he was, he stumbled on with Banks’ body
under heavy fire until he was completely exhausted. However, he did
not return without first saving Banks’ personal belongings.
None of the attacking troops managed to reach the first enemy
line. Moreover, every attempt to consolidate the positions reached,
failed when the Germans reopened the gas bottles at 2.30 p.m. When
the gas reached the Indian troops, an Indian havildar was heard
shouting: “Khabardar, Jehannam pahunche”, which means “watch out,
we have arrived in Hell”. In no time the ground was filled with men
being tortured in a terrible way.
Although all the attacking troops were touched by the gas, it
were mostly the Ferozepore Brigade and the Moroccans to the left of
them who were touched. They withdrew in the biggest chaos, leaving
the dead and the dying in no man’s land. Nevertheless, a small party,
led by Major Deacon, could resist a German counter attack and was
able to stand in no man’s land. Jemadar Mir Dast of the 55th Coke’s
Rifles, attached to the 57th Wilde’s Rifles stayed in no man’s land
when all officers were dead or wounded. He assembled all the men he
could find, among whom many who were slightly gassed, and kept
them together till sunset. Only in the dark did he return, bringing a lot
of wounded with him. He also helped by searching and bringing back
many other wounded Indians and British although he was wounded
himself. For this deed, he received the Victoria Cross.
The award of the VC to jemadar Mir Dast for his actions on the
night of 26th - 27th April, was of more than usual significance. Mir
Dast had a brother, jemadar Mir Mast. On the night of 2nd - 3rd
March, Mir Mast was in command of a section of the firing line near
Neuve Chapelle when he deserted to the Germans, taking with him
two havildars, two naiks and two sepoys.
But let’s get back to the night of 26th -27th April 1915 when
the chlorine gas was to be smelt the whole night. Only late that night
could the remnants of Major Deacon’s party be relieved. The
Ferozepore and Jullundur Brigades were withdrawn to the Brieke
while the Sirhind Brigade replaced them in the first line. Men of the
34th Sikh Pioneers did try to consolidate the difficult position when
Major Deacon did manage to keep a stand.
Later, two men of that unit, sappers Jai Singh and Gujar Singh,
were awarded the Indian Distinguished Service Medal because they
had established communication lines under constant fire. On the three
following days, the attack was repeated again and again, but never
with any result for the North Africans, British and Indians. The
Germans opened the gas cylinders time and again and, on 27th April,
the first “gas masks” were issued. Shortly after 1 p.m. on 27th April,
the Moroccans, the Sirhind and the Ferozepore Brigades went again in
attack, now supported by the Canadian artillery.
The two Gurkha battalions, the 4th London and the 9th
Bhopals led the attack and suffered the highest number of casualties.
When it was discovered that the barbed wire in front of the German
trenches was untouched, the action was called off.
During the night of 29th -30th April 1915, the Jullundur and
Ferozepore Brigades were withdrawn to their billets in Ouderdom.
Because they were also under frequent bombardments there, the men
preferred to stay out instead of sleeping in their huts. A shelling in the
early morning of 1st May made the beasts of burden of the 47th Sikhs
panic and escape from their compound and had to be chased over a
wide area.
Finally, after a last desperate attempt to break through the
enemy line, the Sirhind Brigade left the firing line and rejoined the rest
of the division in Ouderdom on 2nd May. The next day, the Lahore
Division marched off to rejoin the Indian Corps near Neuve-Chapelle.
Between 24th April and 1st May , the Lahore Division had lost 3889
men, or 30 % of the troops it had employed.
It was the last time that the Indian troops were deployed on a
massive scale in the Ypres Salient. This does not mean that with
regular intervals, British troops were to be seen in the Flanders
Westhoek. In June 1915 father Van Walleghem writes in his diary that
Indian soldiers had been around for a few weeks already.He observed
all strange troops who passed through or settled in his area. His diary
notes are still worth reading, not only on the people he describes, but
just as much on the author’s own mentality. His diary entry dated 6th
June 1915 details the Indian soldiers:
Several Indian soldiers are also staying at the parish closest to
Vlamertinghe. Their skin is dark, their army dress typically British
apart from a turban which they have artfully wound around their
heads. They speak English, some even French. They are very curious
and ask and talk a lot. They would walk for half an hour to get some
milk, stand around watching your every move as you serve them,
They get their Indian money out, called the rupee (2.80) and
get mad when people refuse to accept their currency. They do not (or
not to) understand the value of our money. By and large they are
friendly and polite, yet their curiosity often gets the upper hand as they
take you in from head to toe. They especially like to take a peek
through the windows of our homes. They bake some type of pancakes
and eat a type of seed with a very strong taste.
After May 1915, the Indian Corps saw action near Aubers
Ridge, Festubert and Loos. After the Battle of Loos (25th September
1915) it was decided to send the Indian Corps to Mesopotamia. Earlier
that month, the highly appreciated commander of the Indian Corps,
General Willcocks, had resigned. There were different reasons for his
resignation. Willcocks’ constant interest in the morale of the troops,
his frequent protests against a bad employment of the corps, his
concern regarding the large number of casualties and the difficulties
met in replacing these casualties, his indignation on the fact that the
public in India did not hear anything from the exploits of the Corps
because of the very strict, often irrational censorship and the
impossibility to send his men on leave - all these factors had roused
peevishness with his superiors, and especially with Douglas Haig.
During the preparation for the Battle of Loos on 6th September
1915, there was an open conflict between Haig and Willcocks. Haig
had lost all sympathy and patience with the Indian Corps and so
General Willcocks took his conclusions and left. Later, in his book
“The Indian Corps in France”, published shortly after the war, the
general defended the Indian Corps - often in sharp and bitter wordings.
By the end of 1915, the Indian army Corps had left Europe. In
14 months it had lost 34,252 men. However, there were always some
Indian battalions at the Western Front, for example, during the battle
of the Somme.
Apart from the dreadful conditions in which the Indian troops
had to fight, the two main problems they had to face were the lack of
reinforcements (from India) and the large number of casualties among
the British officers. The corps did arrive in France with 10 % reserves
for the Indian units but these reserves were already used in replacing
the sick and the unfit even before arriving at the front.
The reserve system was totally inadequate and a large number
of the Indians arriving in Marseilles as reinforcements, turned out to be
unfit for active service being too old, too weak, having bad health or
lacking any training. The large number of victims made the problem
acute. A solution was found in sending complete Indian units from
India to Europe, without searching for new recruits. This, in turn,
caused problems in India itself.
The replacement of British officers in the Indian Army was
also a big problem. The special relationship between the British officer
and his Indian rank and file has been taken into account earlier. It is
evident that the arrival of new officers who did not understand
anything of the Indians, did not know their background, and had
problems in communicating with them, were not positive for the
morale at all.
After the Indian Corps left, the Indians were no longer present
in large numbers on the Western Front. However, this does not mean
that there were no Indian units at all any more. At Lijssenthoek
Cemetery, Poperinge for instance, a Sikh is commemorated, a
cavalryman killed on 2nd November 1917.
For the Belgian population, the Indians were an experience.
Young Oscar Ricour:
There were Sikhs in het hellegat and in the fire-wood. They
were baking those large pancakes. One time, as I was passing by, some
of them were sitting down on the ground, with open legs; around a
bucket.When it was getting dark, they sang songs in their manner.
Maurits Liefooghe:
In ‘thellegat, it was full with men from India, men with
turbans.Sikhs they were called. They ate all kind of pancakes, a kind
of thick pancakes. We went to look at them from time to time as they
were making these pancakes. They were not there for warring, to fight.
They were there to transport the ammunition to the guns.
At the end of the war and in the first post-war years, there were
also units of the British Indian Labour Corps active in the Flanders
Westhoek. They were not military, but civilians working for the
British army. The labour they did was repairing roads, clearing of the
ruins etc. In September 1919, the much feared chinks (coolies) were
replaced by the Indian, much to the relief of the returned population.
To end with Father Van Walleghem:
 These Sikhs were somewhat curious and loved to look around
everywhere, but they were not mad.

 Sacrifices of the Sikhs in France
Their Names Liveth for Evermore

The Lahore and Meerut Divisions followed by Secunderabad

Cavalry were engaged in the Western Front (France-Belgium) during
World War I. Many of these soldiers were Sikhs. In the first battle of
leper (22 October 1914) a platoon of Dogra Sikhs died fighting to the
last man, and Jemadar Kapur Singh kept on fighting until everyone
else was out of action except for one wounded sepoy. As he did not
want to surrender, he committed suicide with his last bullet.
After the bloody battle of Neuve Chapelle, France (10 till 13
March 1915) the Sikh Regiments had lost eighty perccent of their men
and three regiments stood at only sixteen percent of its original
composition. A Sikh soldier wrote to his uncle in jallandhar (Punjab),
"Thousands and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have lost their lives.
If you go on the fields of battle you will see corpses piled upon corpses
so that their is no place to place or put hand or foot. Men have died
from the stench. No one has any hope of survival, for back to Punjab
will go only those who have lost a leg or an arm or an eye. The whole
world has been brought to destruction."
On October 7, 1927 the Secretary of State for India Earl of
Birkenhead, unveiled the noble Memorial which has been erected by
the Imperial War Graves Commission at Neuve Chapelle in France to
the memory of all Indian soldiers who fell on the Western Front in the
Great War of 1914-1918. This monument was designed by Sir Herbert
Baker who is well known to India as one of the creaters of modern
Delhi. By doing so, in a special sense, too, it marks the gratitude of the
great French nation which was defended from German invasion by the
supreme sacrifices of the British Indian Army in France. It marks the
French gratitude of the French people who built it on their soil. For the
ceremony, special units including Sikhs who engaged in the actual war
were brought from India with Maharaja of Kapurthala as a special
guest.
Speaking on the occasion in French, Marshal Foch of the
French Army who signed the Armistice document at 05:05 hours on
11 November 1918 Matthias Erzberger, the leader of the German
delegation and one of the
75
new German leaders, stated frankly,
"The Indian Troops were thus among the first to show the way
to a victorious offensive. It is only right that a Memorial should
perpetuate the glorious memory of officers, non -commissioned
officers and men of the British Indian Army at the very spot where
later on a general attack by the Allied troops was to bring the decisive
victory in sight."
Turning to the British Indian Contingent, he bade them:
"Return to your home in the distant, sun bathed East and
proclaim how your countrymen drenched with their blood the
cold northern land of France and Flanders, how they delivered
it by their ardant spirit from the firm grip of a determined
enemy ; tell all India that we shall watch their graves with the
devotion due to all our dead. We will cherish above all the
memory of their example. They showed us the way, they made
the first steps towards the final victory."
These historical words of the French marshal are even true
today as this Memorial is best maintained in all respect and is accorded
the highest historical status and is kept clean and well decorated. A
Sikh delegation from Holland, U.S.A and Dubai including Sardar Dr.
Gurdit Singh and Sardar Dr. Jaideep Singh from University of
California, Sardar Hardial Singh (Dubai) and the author visited this
Memorial on 6 April 1998 during our official delegation
visit of leper.
On the pillar are written the words, GOD IS ONE HIS IS THE
VICTORY, and from the Qu'ran and the Bhagwad Gita and IK
ONKAR SIR! WAHEGURU JI KE FATEH from Siri Guru Granth
Sahib is written in Gurmukhi. The names of 4,746 soldiers who died
are written on the round wall of this memorial. Most of them are Sikh
soldiers. There is a list available from the Database of The
Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Mr. Jeremy Gee, OBE of CWGC, was right when he wrote me
back about the "important role Sikhs played in the First World War" in
one of his letters dated 2 December 1997. Eight soldiers from World
War II (193945) who were cremated are also commemorated on the
walls of this memorial.
There are 151 different cemeteries-burial places in whole of
France where these soldiers have been cremated and buried with full
religious respect and honor. Engraved on the graves of Sikh soldiers is
Ik Oankar Siri Waheguru ji Ke Fateh Sanskare Gaye in Gurmukhi.
Sepoy number, full name, name of the regiment, and date of death are
all printed in block letters in English. These samadhs of the Sikhs can
be found across Europe. They are well maintained, cleaned, and
decorated by Commonwealth War Grave Commission throughout
Europe.
76
Similarly, most Hindu soldiers are Gorkhas, and engraved on their
graves in Hindi are the words, Oom Bhagwattee Nammo. Rest of the
particulars are the same. In the same way, our Muslims brothers have
the holy words from Qur'an written on their graves.
It should be noted here that during the Celebration of Peace, to
commemorate 300 years of Khalsa at leper (Flanders ), jointly
organised by the Mayor of leper and the European Sikh Community, a
monument was unveiled by panj piara and diis monument has die
same script on it except two Khalsa khandas were added. Besides
many distinguished guests from many countries and the Belgium
Government, Sardar Inder SinghJamu, then Mayor of Barking &
Dagenham, Sardar Tarsem Singh Bhogal, die Mayor of Woolwich,
Janab Abdul Karim Sheikh, tiien Mayor of New Ham were also
present
In these 151 burial places, there are 3,359 graves of identified soldiers
and 390 graves of unidentified soldiers. Mazargues War Cemetery in
Marseilles has 1,002 graves. Some of the other cemeteries are La
Chapellette British and Indian - Peronne, Somme (320), Meerat
Military, St Martun - Boulogne (313), St. Sever Extension - Rouven
(271), Lillers Communal - Pas de Calais (153), Rue du Bacquerot No 1
Military - Laventie (144) and Hargicourt British Cemetary - Aisne.
There are cemetaries that have a lone Sikh soldier or a small number
of soldiers buried or cremated.
Memorials
There are 4 memorials where British Indian soldiers have been
commemorated. Neuve-Chapelle Memorial has 4,746 names. The
village of Neuve Chapelle is some 5 kilometres north of La Bassee and
20 kilometres south-west of Lille. The memorial is 800 metres south-
west of the village on the east side of die road from La Bassee to
Estaires.
The Memorial is a circular enclosure in the foreground of
which is a column nearly 15 metres high, recalling the pillars of
Asoka, surmounted by a Lotus capital, the Star of India and die
Imperial Crown. On either side of the column two carved tigers guard
this temple of die dead. The column and the tigers are supported by a
podium, on the near side of which is carved "INDIA 1914-1918",
while on me far-side are the Battle Honours of Indian units on the
Western Front.
From the ends of the podium a pierced stone railing extends
half-way round die circle, and the ends of die semicircle are marked by
two small domed chattris, roughly East and West. The far semicircle is
enclosed by a solid wall n which are carved die names of over 4,700
soldiers of the Indian Army.
77 ,
Also engraved on the Memorial is the following inscription:
TO THE HONOUR OF THE ARMY OF INDIA WHICH FOUGHT IN
FRANCE AND BELGIUM, 1914-1918, AND IN PERPETUAL
REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE OF THEIR DEAD WHOSE NAMES
ARE HERE RECORDED AND WHO HA VE NO KNOWN GRAVE.
In 1964 a special bronze panel was added to this memorial in honor
of 210 unidentified servicemen of undivided India who died during the
1914- 1918 war, whose graves are at the Zehrensdorf Indian Cemetery
in East Germany. The following inscription is also engraved on the
panel of the Neuve- Chapelle (Zehrensdorf Cem) memorial:
IN HONOURED MEMORY OF THESE MEN WHO DIED IN
CAPTIVITY AND WERE BURIED AT ZEHRENSDORF NEAR
BERLIN.
Also to be found at this site is the Neuve-Chapelle 1939-1945
Cremation Memorial. In 1964 the remains of eight Indian soldiers
(including two unidentified) were exhumed from Sarrebourg French
Military Cemetery Extension and cremated. The names of the six
identified soldiers are engraved on panels at the Neuve Chapelle
Memorial, together with the following inscription:
1939 • 1945 IN HONOUR OF THESE SOLDIERS WHO DIED IN
CAPTIVITY IN NORTH-WEST EUROPE AND WHOSE
MORTAL REMAINS WERE COMMITTED TO FIRE.
The other three noteworthy memorials are: Neuve-Chapelle
(Zehrensdorf Indian Cemetery) Memorial: 206
Arras Flying Services Memorial: 6
Le Touret Memorial: 1
Now, From the Database of The Commonwealth War Graves
Commission it can easily be concluded that the total casualties in
World War I of British Indian Forces commemorated in France are,
Total of Commemorations on Memorial: 4959
Total from the Cemeteries (Identified ): 3359
Total from the Cemeteries ( unidentified): 390
Final total: 8708 - 390 (Unidentified) = 8318
(The unidentified have been commemorated on the memorial)
According to CWGC record in Belgium:
Burials and Cremations in Cemeteries = 76
Total Commemorations on Memorials = 417
Unidentified = Nil
Total in Belgium = 493
78
 France = 8318 + Belgium = 493 Thus Total = 8811
But the story of exact figure of casualties of British Indian
forces on the western Front does not end up here. There are many
loopholes and thoroghly ' historical research is needed to fix the exact
number of casualties. Most of the casualties are from Punjab and the
Government of Punjab (India) and Government of Punjab (Pakistan)
can play an important role in this research work. Mr. Dominiek
Dendooven from the Documentary Center of In Flanders Fields
Museum, leper (Belgium) wrote his account to me, in view of some
historical facts that the Documentary Center has preserved.
"In 14 months the Indian Corps had lost 34,252 men (dead,
wounded, ill, or prisoners of war) on the Western Front. I also found
the figure of 7,700 sepoys who died, but that is even far below your
estimation, based on the figures of the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission.
And I am 100 % sure that you underestimate the number of
casualties : you make the total from the commemorations on Memorial
+ identified in cemetetries + unidentified in cemeteries, but I am sure
there are many more Indian casualties whose names were never
recorded and who are by consequence not commemorated. I think this
is due to the battle circumstances and perhaps poor administration. I
give you some examples:
The losses of the 57th Wilde's Rifles and die 129th Baluchis
were great during the last two days of October 1914 (during the 1st
battle of leper). The Wilde's Rifles lost 300 out of 750, the Baluchis
had 240 men killed, wounded or taken as POWs.
The Menin Gate in leper has the name of 15 casualties from die
47 Sikh Regiment while alone on 27 April 1915 (during die 2nd Battle
of leper) out of 444 men 348 did not come back. They are nowhere
else commemorated. Between 24di April and 1st May 1915, the
Lahore Division had lost 3,889 men, or 30 % of the troops it had
employed."
The total war dead (493) of Indian forces commemorated in
Belgium by CWGC Memorial database is far less dian die actual
casualties figure. Dr. Sukhdev Singh, Head of Bio-Chemistry at Guru
Nanak University in Amritsar found this information most valuable
and commended the work. Universties of Punjab can undertake diis
project and motivate a student for a Ph.D on this subject to reasearch it
further. I am sure, on being requested, the Documentary Center at die
In Flanders Fields Museum in leper can provide diese students with
maximum guidance and cooperation. The Commonwealth War Graves
Commission is also very helpful.
I shall close my article with this historical remarks of Lt.
General Sir James Wilcox, Commander of die British Indian Corps, "It
was the dark days of
79
1914 when our men had to face mortars, hand grenades, high
explosive shells for which they themselves were not provided. They
could reply only with their valour, their rifles and two machine guns
per batallion. And yet they did it."

 Sikhs in the salient :
AUnique War Commemoration
_Johan Meire

During the weekend of 2-4 April 1999, hundreds of Sikhs from

Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Britain gathered in the Belgian
town of Ypres (Ieper) to combine a celebration of the Vaisakhi and the
300th anniversary of the birth of the Khalsa, with a commemoration of
the Indian soldiers who fell in the First World War in the former front
zone around Ypres, the so-called Ypres Salient.
In this article I want to elaborate on how this event originated,
and on how it bound together two very different groups. Beyond any
doubt, it was one of the most remarkable commemorations of the First
World War (1914-1918) that ever took place on the former
battlefields. Moreover, it was unusual in the sense that Ypres has no
Sikh community: why then celebrate Vaisakhi in this small town,
while most Belgian Sikhs live at the other end of the country or in
Brussels, where they have gurdwaras of their own?
Before tackling this question, let me first briefly describe the
event itself. During the celebration of Vaisakhi in Ypres, part of the
town’s mediaeval Cloth Hall – completely destroyed during the war
and faithfully rebuilt afterwards – was furnished as a gurdwara and a
langar. The celebrations included Akand Path, kirtan and the
celebration of Vaisakhi proper. They started on Friday morning and
came to an end on Sunday in the late afternoon. All these celebrations
were open to Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike, and during the weekend many
people from the Ypres region visited the temporary gurdwara, listened
to kirtan and tried the food in the langar.
The usual proceedings of the celebrations of the Vaisakhi –
albeit in a unusual place – were complemented by several memorial
practices referring to the Sikh and Indian soldiers who fought in the
Ypres Salient during the First World War. An exhibition on Sikhism
and the role of the Sikhs in the war was mounted. On Saturday
afternoon, there was a guided tour to some places where Sikh soldiers
had fought and where they were buried. In the village of Hollebeke,
close to Ypres, a little monument was unveiled that commemorated the
first actions of Indian troops in the Great War.
In the temporary gurdwara, local and Sikh authorities made
speeches and exchanged gifts. Finally, on Saturday and Sunday,
special Last Post ceremonies were held, with many Sikhs attending
and participating. The Last Post – the traditional (British) salute to the
fallen warrior – is sounded every evening under the Menin Gate, a
British memorial to the missing in Ypres, to commemorate all soldiers
who fell around Ypres.
This ‘celebration of peace’, as it was called, was a joint
organisation of European Sikh communities and the town of Ypres.
 This mutual interest is rather surprising. For instance, not a
single Sikh is living in Ypres. Moreover, the contribution of Sikh
soldiers during the First World War in the Ypres Salient in 1914 and
1915 had disappeared completely from the social memory and even
from the mere knowledge of the Sikhs living in (continental) Europe
until about just a year before the commemoration.
As the Sikhs look at their history as consisting of an ongoing
series of violent episodes, their short if bloody engagements in the
First World War only appear to be relatively unimportant incidents.
Conversely, the presence of Indian soldiers in the Ypres Salient was
too short for the former Allies to commemorate their contributions or
their war dead in a separate memorial. In the former war zone, but also
in Britain, Indian soldiers are commemorated in cemeteries, on
memorials and in remembrance ceremonies as belonging to the former
British Empire. In Britain, Sikhs have regularly taken part in
commemorations of the war, receiving war medals and so on.
However, the interest of European Sikhs in their ‘European’
war history in fact is very recent. In 1998 Sikhs were for the first time
invited to lay a wreath at the National War Monument in Amsterdam,
on World War Two Liberation Day in Holland. Shortly thereafter, a
delegation of European Sikhs visited Ypres for the first time; this part
of European and Sikh history was nearly completely unknown until
then. Not much later, during a special Last Post under the Menin Gate
in Ypres, specific attention was given to the Indian soldiers who fell in
the Great War.
The president of the International Sikh Youth Federation,
Bhupinder Singh Holland, could give a short speech there, and it was
then that the idea of celebrating Vaisaki in Ypres originated. A fitting
celebration of the 300th anniversary of the birth of the Khalsa would
have to refer to accomplishments made in the past, and especially
would have to honour the martyrs. As Sardar Bhupinder Singh told
me, when he reflected on how to do this, he found that martyrdom in
the 20th century was abound for the Sikhs, but that only both World
Wars were typical of Europe. This made Ypres a more and more
fitting choice.1
Moreover, to celebrate Vaisakhi in a public non-Sikh space,
‘among outsiders’ (non-Sikhs), could be a way to make clear that
Sikhs in Europe want to be acknowledged as being part of European
societies. At first sight, it might look strange that Sikhs celebrate
Vaisakhi in a small provincial town such as Ypres, but it was an
appropriate choice. It brought to the fore both the (largely unknown)
‘European’ past and martyrdom of the Sikhs, and at the same time the
recognition by outsiders (Belgians) could help to enhance the self-
image of Sikhs in Europe.
On Armistice Day (11 November) 1998, a fairly large
delegation of Sikhs from Belgium and Holland participated in the
‘poppy parade’, a yearly ceremonial walk from the centre of Ypres up
to the Menin Gate. The Sikhs carried a large banner (“Sikh-
Community Gurdwara-Sangat-Sahib St.Truiden Belgium”) and a large
wreath (“Sikhs commemorate all the fallen”), that was laid down
under the Menin Gate. This shows that the Sikhs wanted to include the
First World War in their own history, and that they wanted be
recognised, as Sikhs, for their participation in the war.
This, however, were merely Sikhs taking part in a fully
‘western’ commemoration ritual. A mutual fusion of ‘Sikh’ and
‘western’ commemorations occurred on the Vaisakhi weekend in the
beginning of April 1999. To my knowledge, this ‘merging’ was a
totally unique event.
Such a joint celebration or commemoration does not originate
without efforts. Nor is it just a consequence of what happened in the
past. As I already noted, most Belgians and Sikhs were virtually
unaware of the Indian/Sikh contribution to the First World War. It was
rather the other way around: the pending organisation of the
‘celebration of peace’ was a good occasion to do some historical
research (e.g. in order to organise an exhibition on the Sikhs, or to
locate the exact place of the first action of Indian soldiers, which
would be the spot on which a monument would be erected during the
weekend).
In this way, what happened in the past provided the
commemoration with a certain structuring frame: it showed where a
monument would be appropriate, or where graves of Indian soldiers
could be found. What happened in the past gave authority to the
commemorations. However, it was not the past itself, or the historical
research, that made these places or commemorations ‘memorable’.
This could only be done by actual memory practices during the
weekend of the Vaisakhi in Ypres itself.
A joint celebration by Belgian and Sikhs not only requires a
historical ground. It also requires that both groups have some things in
common: things they consider as important to their own past, and thus
to their own identity. It does not require that both groups have to lose
their distinctive character; rather, they have to find some common
ground. While ‘dissonant’, clashing memories of both groups were
minimised, a common heritage was stressed. This heritage was:
martyrdom.
During the First World War, the city of Ypres was totally
destroyed. The symbol of this destruction was the mediaeval Cloth
Hall, which was rebuilt afterwards. In this building, where the
temporary gurdwara was set up, the In Flanders Fields Museum can be
found: Ypres’ impressive war museum. At the entrance of the
museum, which was also next to the entrance of the gurdwara, on a big
stone the names of many ‘martyred cities’ are engraved, such as
Hiroshima, Dresden or Sarajevo. Ypres considers itself as a martyred
town, a symbol of the destruction and suffering war brings about.
To honour the martyrs is a well-known aim of Vaisaikhi, and
during the celebration in Ypres, this aim was made quite clear to (non-
Sikh) visitors, however without turning martyrdom and the present
oppression in India into political issues. One of the Sikh speakers at
the Vasaikhi said: “The Sikhs have done their prayer for victory and
for martyrdom. They have got both. They have got victory and they
have got martyrdom in Ypres.” As made clear by the exhibition on the
Sikhs in the Great War, the erection of a monument to the Indian
soldiers, and the guided tour in the former war zone, Ypres and the
Sikhs had a heritage in common: “the common history we share,
which is the destruction in war, the martyrdom in war”, like it was
expressed by Piet Chielens, co-ordinator of the In Flanders Fields
Museum.
Mutual memories were stressed; at the same time, some
differences between Belgians and Sikhs that could create unease or
could make a joint celebration difficult, were minimised or ‘forgotten’.
During the war, soldiers often were not really loved by the local
inhabitants of the front zone (such as Ypres), and the feelings of
distrust were especially apparent towards the colonial troops, like
Senegalese, Moroccans, Indians and Chinese. Girls and women were
warned to keep away from them, and local inhabitants were very
curious to find out which strange habits these exotic soldiers had.
For instance, the food and smoking habits of Indian soldiers
(often just called ‘hindoos’) attracted much attention. Surely, there was
friendly contact between Indian soldiers and local people, but like
other non-European soldiers, Indian soldiers were often considered as
wild and cruel warriors, and at the same time as childish, distrusting,
curious, sneaky and unreliable. This distrust was, of course, not
brought back into memory during the Vaisakhi in Ypres: in his speech,
the governor of the province of West-Flanders (in which Ypres is
situated) even claimed that openness and hospitality “have always
been typical of our province”.
The Sikhs also had to get rid of a possibly awkward matter:
while the Vaisakhi in Ypres was announced as ‘a celebration of
peace’, the Sikhs are considered as a people with a strong martial
tradition, and also are proud of their tradition of ‘warrior saints’. While
the initiation in the Khalsa also implies a military duty and there
should be no opposition between sanctity and military prowess, to
non-Sikhs this could seem quite a contradiction.
For instance, the lesson Ypres wants to learn from its own war
experience, is to avoid war at any cost. Therefore, during the
celebration in Ypres, Sikh participants did not put stress on warrior
values, but on martyrdom. Moreover, Sikh speakers made use of a
very universalistic discourse: again and again they repeated that they
wanted to commemorate all Indian soldiers, Muslims and Hindus
included. During the Vaisakhi in 1999, the war in Kosovo was raging:
it is obvious that, within this context, and during ‘a celebration of
peace’, an openly ‘ethnic’ discourse would be counter-productive.
Just like finding a historical ‘ground’ for the joint
commemoration, the mutual attuning of memories was a precondition
to it. Its essence, however, lay in joint memory practices.
During the reading of the Guru Granth Sahib, two coaches
guided interested Sikhs and Belgians through the Ypres Salient; during
this trip, a monument was unveiled in the village of Hollebeke. The
simple ceremony included speeches by Belgian and British authorities
(a.o. mayors from Indian origin) and an Indian veteran from World
War Two. After that, punj piaras unveiled the monument, and the
Sikhs present sang a jubilation song to honour God and the martyrs.
Despite the heavy rain at this point, many Sikhs took photographs of
the unveiled monument.
The small monument,2 made of the light yellow brick typical
of this region, includes Punjabi, Hindi and Urdu texts from the Granth
Sahib, the Gita (Hindu text) and the Koran. In Dutch and in English, it
also mentions:
On this spot, on October 26, 1914, troops of the Indian
Army were deployed in World War One for the first time, when they
engaged in battle on the line Hollebeke – Wijtschate – Mesen.
This monument was inaugurated on April 3, 1999 by Punj Piaras to
commemorate all soldiers of the Indian Army who died in Belgium
between 1914 and 1918.
The monument thus commemorates a historical moment, all
Indians fallen in Belgium in the Great War, and the inauguration of the
monument itself.
The monument materially includes the Sikhs in the memory of
the war in the Ypres Salient: it gives them a proper place of their own,
rather than being defined as former citizens of the British Empire.
Reversibly, the monument inscribes Ypres and Hollebeke, and the
First World War, in the social memory of the European Sikhs. It is
inaugurated by punj piaras, recognised by the Belgian authorities, and
symbolically appropriated by the song at the end of the ceremony.
Since 1999, a delegation of Sikhs visits the monument after
participating in the yearly commemorations on Armistice Day
(November 11) in Ypres.
The same song mentioned above also played a major, though
unexpected role in the special Last Post ceremonies that were held
under the Menin Gate in Ypres on Saturday and Sunday. Hundreds of
people attended this ceremony, which included – as usual, on special
occasions – the playing of the Last Post melody, the laying of wreaths,
the recitation of Binyon’s poem ‘They shall not grow old’, and on
minute of silence.
 To the surprise of the local persons present, the Sikhs started
singing their impressive tribute to God and the martyrs, strikingly
resonating under the arch of the Menin Gate. On Sunday, this
ceremony brought the celebration of Vaisakhi to an end; it was
preceded by a Nagar Kirtan (including Nishan Sahib, and punj piaras
reciting “Sat Naam Waheguru”, though without the Granth Sahib),
leading from the gurdwara in the Cloth Hall up to the Menin Gate.
As can be seen, ‘western’ and ‘Sikh’ memorial practices
existed side by side during these celebrations. But even more
happened: they also mutually fused, and they created a memory not ‘of
the Sikhs’ or ‘belonging to the Belgians’, but a blended, hybrid
memory. For instance, the Cloth Hall, symbol of destruction in war, at
the same time ‘became’ a gurdwara by the presence of Sikhs and their
religious practices. In this way, and by the commemorations in
Hollebeke and under the Menin Gate, the Vaisakhi, a religious
celebration, also become a war commemoration. Because of this, the
Vaisakhi in Ypres was very explicitly open to outsiders: in this way,
non-Sikh onlookers also became participants. The unveiling of the
monument, the Last Post and the speeches during Vaisakhi were done
by both Belgians and Sikhs. The monument is as much Sikh (unveiled
by punj piaras, commemoration of Indian fallen, Punjabi text) as it is
western/Belgian (brick stone, standing in Hollebeke, Dutch and
English texts).
This monuments interweaves Belgian and Sikh memories.
Even though it was unveiled by Belgians and by Sikhs, and even
though these Sikhs were coming from different countries and are
living in a diaspora, the unveiling ceremony created a specific, local
place which is ‘of Sikhs and Belgians together’. The same is true for
the Last Post ceremony, which usually is a western ritual, but by
adding the jubilation song, the emotional impact of the Last Post
during the Vaisakhi weekend was changed and enhanced greatly –
both for Belgians and for Sikhs.
What the Vaisakhi-weekend in Ypres did, was to bring together
two very different groups, to create a new ‘community of memory’.
Even though this community was based on events happening in the
past, and even though the link between past and present was made
tangible by the presence of the daughter and three grandchildren of
hawaldar (sergeant) Badan Singh Mangat, veteran of 1914-1918, the
bond between Belgians and Sikhs was actually created by the memory
practices during the weekend itself. Piet Chielens, co-ordinator of the
In Flanders Fields Museum, said it like this during Vaisakhi: “What
we have done in the last three days is creating another tie, another
knot, which cannot be undone.” The monument in Hollebeke, and the
many gifts that were exchanged on the occasion, were the material
expressions of the tie.
I would like to end this article by highlighting the importance of ‘being
together’ in these kinds of complex commemorative events.
Remembering the past is not just about ‘thinking of what happened in
the past’. This commemoration only worked because Belgian and Sikh
participants did things together, for instance by unveiling a monument
together – in the pouring rain, as it happened!
It was extremely important that the gurdwara was open to
everybody, and that Sikhs and non-Sikhs were treated in the same
way. Belgians could visit the gurdwara, listen to kirtan, go to the
langar, and even receive karah parshad. Even though this had nothing
to do with the commemoration of the war as such, it was tremendously
important.
Exchanging gifts and eating together are, in all cultures, most
fundamental ways of relating to each other, and in this context it was
not even clear who was ‘host’ and ‘guest’: these roles were interwoven
during the celebration in Ypres. Only a whole atmosphere of
commemorative and other acts, speeches and the material environment
could make this complex commemoration and celebration a success:
unique as it was, to the participants this commemoration was no longer
‘exotic’ but full of meaning.

 Work Well Done
Appreciaton of Johan Meire’s work by the author.

On January 21, 2003 I attended a Ph.d thesis defense at Katholieke

Universiteit Leuven (Belgium). I am grateful to Johan Meire for
inviting me to attened his dissertation that deals with social memory of
the First World War in Ieper, Belgium. The title of the doctoral thesis,
which is written in Dutch is De tijd der traagheid: Een diachronisch-
antropologische studie van de sociale herinnering aan de Eerste
Wereldoorlog in de streek van Ieper or, Lingering Time: A diachronic-
anthropological study of the social memory of the First World War in
the region of Ypres (Belgium).
The thesis is divided into seven chapter (545 pages) and details the
pre war period and history of the great war in which people
representing 29 different nationalities were involved. He has also
elaborated on the Theory of Social Memory, life during the war,
memories and memorials, and rituals. The last chapter is dedicated to
the Indian soldiers, especially Sikhs deployed in the Salient in 1914-15
and Sikhs who visited it again in 1999 to celebrate Vaisakh.
A reference to the Sikh involvement starts from page 480 and goes
till page 502. Some of the issues dealt with include a brief history of
the Sikhs and their religion, Sikh soldiers outside Ieper Salient, Sikhs
in the Salient 1999 and the Vaisakhi 1999 celebrations by the
European Sikh community. At that time a monument in the memory of
Sikh soldiers who died in the war was unveiled in Hollebeke. It was
refreshing to find a reference to this auspicious event.

Chapter 7 offers two case studies of commemoration rituals in the

Ypres Salient. The extremely simple, almost 'empty' Last Post is a
daily ritual- a bugle melody sounded every evening under the Memen
Gate in Ypres. By studying the Last Post, this chapter sheds some light
on the power and the weakness of 'empty' rituals in relation to one of
the basis functions of commemoration, that is, making memories
public. The second case study analyses the single, more complex
commemoration in Ypres in which European Sikhs combined the
memory of the First World War with a religious celebration.
The daily Last Post originated at the end of 1920s as a tribute to
the British who had defended the town of Ypres. Because of the
55,000 names mentioned on the Menen Gate, it is first and foremost, a
tribute to the dead. The Last Post is a unique ritual with a long history
and the ceremony can be best understood as a practice: “it does
nothing more than to make clear that there is a remembrance going on;
the location under the Menen Gate however defines it as a tribute to
the war dead.”
Many people attend the Last Post and some of them may have their
own interpretations of the war. However, because of its “emptiness”,
the ceremony can easily bridge those differences. For this reason the
organization committee consciously refuses to change the ritual, for
instance, to make it more like a 'Peace Ritual.'
Emptiness means the extreme simplicity of the Last Post ritual in
that it is very simple. There is no text and no clear symbolism in it.
This emptiness makes it open for everyone who attends it: whatever
your reasons to commemorate the war, the Last Post works: you can
see it as a tribute to the dead, or as a comfort when you are facing all
the names of the missing around you, or as a call for peace.
Since the ‘90s the heritage of the First World War around Ypres
has more often been understood as a heritage of peace. For instance, as
we know, Ypres calls itself a ‘town of peace’ and sometimes the Ypres
Museum is called the Peace Museum. How could it be a ‘peace ritual’?
One way would be for the organizers to say in the brochure “that it
should be regarded as a call for peace”. They could also allow people
to make speeches at the Last Post, which are an explicit political call
for peace.
The organizers of the Last Post refuse to do so, however. They
want to safeguard the ‘emptiness’ of the Last Post because only in that
way will it appeal to everyone. If it is clearly a ‘peace ritual’, then to
people who visit Ypres to honor their fallen forefathers it would be
disappointing to know that the ritual speaks more about today (“we
should have peace”) instead of speaking about the soldiers who lost
their lives. As it is now, in its simplicity, it is a universal ritual.
The Last Post ceremony was also at the center stage at the
commemoration by European Sikhs in Ypres on April 1999. Vaisakhi
has religious significance and by including the Last Post with Vaisakhi
celebrations, Sikhs added a religious flavour to it.
 The Sikh history in the First World War was an almost forgotten
past: both for the Sikhs themselves and for the Belgians. One of the
remarkable things about the celebration in Ieper was that it revealed
this forgotten past. And it did so in many ways: through historical
research, an exhibition, and unveiling of the Hollebeke memorial.
Distinguished Belgium leaders were presented with siropa (Robe of
Honor) and Governor Brijne of Flanders honored a Muslim Mayor
from U.K besides two members from the Sikh community. The living
soldiers of World War II and the family of Havaldar Badan Singh
(Gent, Belgium) were honoured. A beautiful plaque written in Dutch-
English and Gurmukhi was presented to all participants.
It was not just Sikhs who participated but together with the people
of Belgium actualy shaped the memorable event. For instance, the
Royal Hall of the Cloth Hall in Ieper (rebuilt as a symbol of the war)
was turned into a gurdwara where all people met to pay respect for the
fallen soldiers. Many Sikh soldiers died in Europe far away from their
homes and families while holding firm to their faith, and serving
people of a different culture with whom they had not much in common
except love for humanity.

 Armistice Day
The Armistice day (laying of arms on 11 November 1918) came after
the loss of millions of lives since the war began in early August 1914,
between the Allied forces on one side and the German forces on the
other.

Armistice Day Treaty of World War I

Most of the First World War was a non-moving trench war, which
seemed endless. However, in the spring of 1918, the German Amry
tried to overpower the Allied Forces on the Western Front, and indeed,
for the first time in more than three years, the frontline moved
significantly. But soon the German soldiers were exhausted, and in the
summer of 1918, the Allied troops launched a counter-attack in
Belgium and France. Everywhere, the Germans were driven back. The
German army desintegrated and its soldiers were demoralised,
notwithstanding the situation in Germany (food shortages, etc) which
was very bad.
Following a mutiny by its sailors (November 3, 1918) and
soldiers, the German government of Max von Baden asked President
Woodrow Wilson of USA to negotiate for a ceasefire. Wilson had
some difficulties persuading the French and the British. However, after
Wilson agreed to accept changes concerning reparations, the Armistice
was signed at Compiegne in France, on 11 November, 1918 (The real
Peace Treaty was signed much later, on the 28 June 1919 in
Versailles).
Meanwhile, the German government and Kaiser Wilhelm II
abdicated on November 9th. Wilhelm fled to Holland, where he
obtained asylum. On November 11, the Austrian Emperor Karl I also
abdicated. In Germany, a republic was installed on November 9.
On November 11, the belgium Army had come close to the city
of Gent, and the British had captured the city of Mons. In France the
frontline, everywhere, was close to the belgium border and then went
further south close to Metz. In any case, most of Belgium (including
the cities of Antwerp, Brussels and Liege) were still occupied by the
Germans on Armistice Day. The time and desperation for Armistice
day had come.
In a forest near Compiègne (France), early in the morning of
November 7, a train carrying Marshal Foch of France, his staff and
British officers arrived; and another train arrived on a track close to it,
with a delegation from the German government seeking an armistice.
 For three days the two parties discussed the terms of an
armistice until 05:05 hours on 11 November 1918. Matthias Erzberger,
the leader of the German delegation, and one of the new German
leaders, signed The Armistice document. Within 6 hours the war
would be over. The Armistice was to take effect at 11 o'clock, on the
11th day, of the 11th month.
The conditions of the armistice were put down in thirty-four
articles. They were tough and uncompromising. The German army
would give up all the territory it had occupied and this would include
Alsace and Lorraine (which were part of France before 1870, but
became a part of Germany after that). Furthermore the Allies would
occupy the west of Germany up to the left bank of the Rhine. Other
articles accounted for their submarine and High Seas fleets, and the
provision of reparations for France and Belgium.
On 11 November 1918, most of Belgium was still occupied by
(fleeing) German troops. That is, only some cities and villages (like
Bruges, Mons, etc.) had really been liberated by Belgium or British
troops. But of course, on the November 11, people of Belgium
celebrated the end of war, and that they were in fact free again. Even
so, the military regime and the presence of soldiers did not really and
suddenly end on November 11. In Belgium, November 11 is called
Wapenstilstandsdag (Armistice Day'), and not something like
'Freedom Day' or 'Liberation Day'.
I don't know if the Armistice was celebrated already in 1919 in
Belgium (it was in Britain and France); I suppose so, but I am not sure.
Certainly, it was celebrated on November 11 from then on.
On 11 November 1921, a belgium 'Unknown Soldier' (an
unidentified body) was buried in Brussels, and it became the national
monument of WW1. On the Armistice Day, there is a military parade
in Brussels, and wreaths are laid on the grave of the Unknown Soldier.
The parade is attended by the King and political and military leaders
who pay their homage to the dead.
Between the two world wars, in every city and village of
Belgium, there were remembrance ceremonies on November 11.
Wreaths were laid at the local war memorial (which you can find in
almost every belgium city or village), and the names of the fallen were
read aloud. Often a religious service accompanied this, and in the
larger villages and cities there were other activities.
Even today, most cities have their own celebrations on the
Armistice Day, which is an official holiday in Belgium. The
celebrations take place around local war memorials. Certainly the most
important celebration (apart from Brussels) is in Ieper. After the
Second World War, May 8 was chosen as the day to celebrate the
liberation of Belgium, and it still exists as a special day of
remembrance for veterans, but it is not an official remembrance day.
Instead, the remembrance of
the Second World War has been incorporated in the remembrances of
the November 11.
Sikhs remember the dead
More than 30 different nationalities were engaged in the Ypres
Salient including the Sikhs. This is the reason why Armistice day is
important to the Sikh Nation and Sikhs have been participating in the
annual peace celebrations since November 11, 1998.
On 6th August 1914, the War Council asked the British Indian
government to send two infantry divisions and a cavalry brigade to
Egypt. The Lahore and the Meerut Divisions were chosen, later
followed by the Secunderabad Cavalry Brigade, which together
formed the Indian Army Corps. On 27th August the British
Government decided to send the Indian divisions to France in order to
reinforce the B.E.F. that had recently been forced to withdraw after
Mons. Meanwhile, the Lahore Division was already on its way to the
front. Its new destination was Marseilles, where it arrived by the end
of September. On its way to France, the Lahore Division left one of its
brigades near the Suez Canal, and, as some units of the Jullundur
Brigade only left India by the end of September, it was only the
Ferozopore Brigade that was at its full strength.
From Marseilles the Indian troops went north, over Orleans.
47th Sikhs of Jullundur Brigade while moving up to the front reached
near Saint-Omer on 20 October 1914. On 22 October 1914, the
Ferozepore Brigade arrived in the “new-born” Ypres Salient. They
were sent to the trenches between Hollebeke in the North and
Messines in the South. The trenches were not an uninterrupted line
then, but a series of loose trenches, without the complex system with
saps, communication trenches etc. that we are to know later in the
War.
The 1st Connaught Rangers - the British battalion that
belonged to the Ferozepore Brigade - were the first to have their
baptism of fire. The first Indian battalion that went into the firing line
was the 57th Wilde’s Rifles (57th Wilde’s Rifles (Dera Ismail Khan):
2 Sikhs, 2 Dogras, 2 Punjabi Moslims, 2 Pathans) in the vicinity of
Wijtschate - Oosttaverne. Later, the entire Lahore Division was
involved. In fact, the British Indian Army Corps was only deployed
twice in the Salient, but each time at very crucial moments, at the end
of October 1914 during the 1st Battle of Ypres, and at the end of April
1915, during the 2nd Battle.
The 57th Wilde’s Rifles and the 129th Baluchis suffered heavy
losses during the last two days of October 1914 (during the 1st battle
of Ieper). The Wilde’s Rifles lost 300 men out of 750, the Baluchis
had 240 men killed, wounded or taken as POWs. During the 2nd Battle
of Ieper, the 47 Sikh Regiment fought alone on 27 April 1915 and lost
348 men out of a total of 444.
 Dr. Johan Meire of Katholieke Universiteit (Belgium) wrote in
his book Memories of first World War In and Around Ieper, "Between
24th April and 1st May 1915 in week’s time, the Lahore Division had
lost 3,889 men, or 30 % of the troops it had employed. 'It is finished
with (Lahore) division', writes wounded Ishar Singh on 1st May 1915
to a friend in India,' It appears on both sides there will be no survivals
- then ( when there is no body ) peace will prevail” (page 352).
In about fourteen months the Indian Corps had lost 34,252 men
(dead, wounded, ill, or prisoners of war) on the Western Front in
France and Belgium. The Lahore Division consisted of:

 How many Sikhs Participated in
World Wars ?

The forces of British India played a major role in both World

Wars. Nearly 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth
including some 160,000 from the forces of undivided British India
died in the 1914-18 and 1939-45 Wars. In the first World War, the
strength of the British Indian Army rose to one million and in the 2nd
World War with two and half million. During WW-1, it fought in
China, France and Belgium ( Flanders ), Mesopotamia against Turkey,
Irak, Iran, Egypt , Palestine, Gallipoli and in East Africa. In 2nd WW,
a compaany of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps was part of the
British Expeditionary Force in 1940 campaign which ended in the
evacuation from Dunkirk ( France ). Divisions of British Indian Army
fought in the Western Desert, in the Middle East, in Eritrea, Ethiopia,
they fought in Italy and took part in the liberation of Greece. But
against Japan in the east, British Indian Army played its greatest role
right through from the reverses of 1942 to the final overwhelming
victory of 1945.
"In the last two world wars 83,005 turban wearing Sikh
soldiers were killed and 109,045 were wounded. They all died or were
wounded for the freedom of Britain and the world, and during shell
fire, with no other protection but the turban, the symbol of their faith."

Most of the People in Punjab does not know that their forefathers, the
Sikhs have fought gallentry in Europe including Italy in the 2nd World
War and played an important role for the liberation of Europe and paid
heavy price for the freedom of mankind along with Allied forces as
part of the forces of the Commonwealth.The total Allied casualties
killed, wounded and missing were 312,000; of these, 42,000 of the
killed belonged to the forces of the Commonwealth in Italy. Gurkhas,
Sikhs and Muslims, the traditional warriors has a great history in Italy
during that terrable and painful period of war.
 IEPER - YPRES *
(During WW-I)
Ypres (population 34,758) is a Belgian City in West Flanders, in the
Dutch speaking part of the country. The city's Dutch name is Ieper.
Linen and lace are made in Ypres from the flax of Flanders. Ypres
became famous as a centre of the textile industry about 1300. At that
time, its population was about 20.000, almost as big as London's.
In World War I, Ypres was the scene of severe fighting, and was
almost destroyed. It was rebuilt, but again became a battleground
during World War II.

.
* From IBM Worldbook Encyclopedia Deluxe Version. Obviously the
name of the City is Ieper, while the French call it Ypres. The British
use the French version of the name, although the city is neither in
France, nor French speaking
 Remember Ieper 1914
Lieutenant General Sir James Wilcox
Commander of the Indian Corps : WW1, France & Flanders
'Over 138,000 Indian troops fought in Belgium and France during
World War I, many of them Sikhs. More than one quarter of these
soldiers would become casualties. In the first battle of Ypres (Ieper) in
Flanders in 1914 a platoon of Dogra Sikhs died fighting to the last
man, who shot himself with his last cartridge rather than surrender.
After the bloody battle of Neuve Chapelle in 1915, the Sikh regiments
had lost 80% of their men, 3 regiments stood at only 16% of their
original compliment. It was the dark days of 1914 when our men had
to face mortars, hand grenades, high explosive shells with which they
themselves were not provided. They could reply only with their valour,
their rifles and two machine guns per battalion. And yet they did it.'
A letter found later on in the same battlefield on the body of an
unknown Sikh soldier, written in Punjabi, for his village folks in
Punjab ( translated into English ) :
'Thousand and hundreds of thousands of soldiers have lost their lives
... If you go on the field of battle you will see corpses piled upon
corpses, so that their is no place to put hand or foot. Many men have
died from the stench ... No one has any hope of survival, ... for back to
Punjab, ... will go only those who have lost a leg or an arm or an eye !
... The whole world has been brought to destruction.'
 SIKHS IN BELGIUM

The emigration of Sikhs first took place into English speaking

countries. The biggest numbers are found in Canada (600.000), the
Unite States (500.000) and Great Britain (700.000).
Only recently Sikhs came to the European continent. During the
difficult eighties – the bombing of the Golden Temple in 1984 – and
early nineties (because of the struggle for a more independent status of
Punjab) a wave of violence came over the Punjab. Many young Sikhs
came to southern Limburg, where they easily felt at home in the
agrarian environment. Although they went through hard times
themselves, they were the first to establish a gurdwara, in 1994 in
Halmaal near Sint-Truiden
The farmers from Punjab are hardworking and by nature pragmatic
Their faith, Sikhism, is a world religion. Universal values are stressed,
like the equality of all persons, respect for another person’s religion,
the family as the cornerstone of society, peace and democracy as
foundations of society.
Because of this the Sikhs anywhere in the world manage to merge into
the local society, yet retaining their specific identity so well
formulated by the last Guru, Gobind Singh, 300 years ago.
To conclude we quote from Sukhmani, the prayer of Guru Arjan (Sri
Guru Granth Sahib, p. 1136), recited on the occasion of a cremation :
I do not keep the Hindu fast or the Muslim Ramadan.
I serve him alone who is my refuge.
I serve the One Master who is also Allah.
I will not worship with the Hindu,
nor like the Muslim go to Mecca,
I shall serve him and no other.
I will not pray to idols
nor say the Muslim prayer.
I shall put my heart at the feet
of the One Supreme Being,
for we are neither Hindus nor Muslims

World War I
S.S. Hari Kaur Khalsa, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

When I lived in America, I always enjoyed Veteran's Day since it was

a day off from work! My appreciation of Veteran's Day for its real
meaning finally came to me recently in Eiper, Belgium on November
11, 1998 when I experienced a day honoring the Veterans of World
War I.
Sat Dharam Singh Khalsa, a German Sikh colleague who lives
in Amsterdam, and I went to the Veteran's Day ceremonies with a
group of Sikhs from the Indian community here in Amsterdam to
honor the Sikh soldiers who served in the British Army during World
War I. The Sikh representation at this event was perfectly organized
because of the hard work and efforts of Bhupinder Singh, President of
the International Sikh Youth Federation.
Upon our arrival in Eiper, we joined with over one hundred
Sikhs from Gurdwaras in Belgium, The Hague, Holland; Rotterdam,
Holland; and Koln, Germany. We walked together with hundreds of
other people and groups in an incredible parade down the streets of
Eiper. The many other groups included representatives from Scotland
with their bagpipes, a Belgian Army Group, British troops, some
people playing brass instruments and drums, some singing, and
everyone marching in perfect formation.
I walked in the front row with four other Sikhs and helped carry two
large, beautiful wreaths of flowers. As we passed by crowds of people
on both sides of the street, they called out, "Thank you!" and started
clapping in appreciation for what the Sikhs had contributed to the
freeing of Belgium in World War I. I have never felt so proud to be a
Sikh or felt so close to the whole Khalsa Panth, past and present.
Next we stood under Menin Gate, which is a huge open hall
with archways leading into the city of Eiper. Inscribed on the inner
walls of Menin Gate are the names of soldiers who perished there, but
who were not recognizable enough to have a proper burial. There were
many Sikh names engraved on this wall. It was very moving to see
"Sikh Regiment 34 - Raja Singh, Har Nam Singh, Jagat Singh, Inder
Singh, Dayal Singh" and hundreds of others. Many were from
companies of the old British Empire with names such as "Queen
Victoria's Own Corps of Guides," the "32nd Sikh Pioneers," "King
George's Own Ferozepore Sikhs" and the "15th Corps Ludhiana
Sikhs."
 There we placed our wreaths - one on behalf of the Golden
Temple in Amritsar and the other on behalf of the Belgium Gurdwara -
as we stood together in prayer honoring our soldiers who had so
courageously fought and died to free this foreign land. In my prayer, I
clearly saw that Guru Gobind Singh had personally lifted each of his
Sikh sons into the comfort of his embrace and radiance.
There were Ambassadors from every country in Europe who
also placed wreaths in remembrance. There was much media coverage
as well, so all of Europe was able to see this ceremony. Queen
Elizabeth, the King and Queen of Belgium, and other dignitaries also
came to honor the veterans of World War I. One thousand two
hundred Sikhs soldiers died in World War I in Belgium. Thousands of
Sikh soldiers died in other parts of Europe. This is the first time in
eighty years that the Sikh soldiers specifically have been recognized
and honored.
After the ceremony we went to the War Museum which
displays various pictures of the proud Sikhs and their regiments and
tells about the war and the horrible events that took place and what
these young soldiers endured. Having a twenty year old son myself, I
could only think how many mothers and wives had lost their young
men of only 18, 19, and 20 years old on both sides of the war.
This was a profoundly moving day and I was honored to be
part of this ceremony. I look forward to uniting with other Sikhs and
participating in other events which are planned for the future to pay
tribute to our Sikh brethren who gave their lives.
One such event will take place April 2-4, 1999, when hundreds of
Sikhs from all over Europe will be gathering in Eiper, Belgium, to
once again pay tribute to our Sikh Veterans and celebrate the 300th
Anniversary of the Birth of the Khalsa. You are invited to join together
with your European brothers and sisters for kirtan, an Akhand Path
dedicated to world peace, special tributes at Menin Gate for the
soldiers, and an exhibit of the history of Sikhs from their beginning to
modern times. Tribute will be paid by world Sikh leaders as well as
local and national leaders of the Belgian government.

From Prosperity Paths Issue: February, 1999
 300 Years of the Khalsa at Ieper
On April 2-4 1999, thousands of Sikhs from all over the world
meet in Ieper, Belgium, to pray for peace in the world. This is a
historical date for the Sikhs. In April 1699 - in days of persecution and
repression - the tenth and last guru, Gobind Singh, initiated the Khalsa,
in order to give strength and a strong feeling of identity to his
followers. The European Sikhs are convinced that the City of Peace,
Ieper (Ypres), amidst the fields of Flanders, - Poppy day may ring a
bell for some - is the appropriate place for this anniversary celebration.
Here fell many Sikhs, together with so many from both sides, in the
Great War of 1914-1918. In their memory and in memory of all
persons anywhere in the world who are oppressed, or are victims of
war and violence, an Akhand Path will be held. This is a continuos
reading of the whole Sri Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of the
Sikhs.

description of the Sikh religion, the Khalsa, and a brief history of the
Sikhs and of their contribution to the Allied war effort.

In the notorious Ieper crescent, also referred to as the Ieper Salient, out
thirty different nationalities were deployed. Among these the Indian
troops were present in significant numbers. Although most Indian
troops were stationed near Neuve-Chapelle in France - the impressive
Indian Memorial there commemorates this - they were also thrown
into the First Ieper Battle - October 1914 - and the Second - May 1915.
About 24000 men of the Meerut and Lahore Divisions disembarked at
the Mediteranean port of Marseille in September/October 1914. There
were two kinds of units in the British Indian Army: ethnic like the 47th
Sikhs or 129th Baluchis, and mixed, like the 57th Wilde's Rifles. All
officers were British.
In France, the Indian soldiers had of course serious problems
of communication. The climate too was very harsh for them. In
January 1915, a Sikh soldier wrote to his uncle in Jalandhar: "This
country is very pleasant, but it is very cold here. Nobody has any clue
about the language. They call milk 'doolee' and water 'doloo'!" [du lait,
de l'eau]
From the 22nd of October 1914 there were Indian Troops in
the trenches near Wijtschate and Mesen. On 26th October 1914, at 3
pm, the 129th Baluchis and the 57th Wilde's Rifles staged an attack to
the south of Hollebeke. This was the first action of the Indian troops in
the War. On 1st November the Indian troops were withdrawn from the
front near Ieper. In the next months they were deployed near Fesubert,
Givenchy and -- Neuve-Chapelle. Six months later, 25th April 1915,
the Lahore Division pitched tent near Ouderdom. These troopss had
been brought in a hurry to bolster the French and British who had
suffered much in the first German gas attack - on 22nd April 1915.
One day after their arrival, they were ordered to attack across an open
field near Wieltje. In the resulting carnage, on that spring day, 348 of
the 444 men of the 47th Sikhs met their death.
Like many other, Bhan Singh, the orderly of a Captain Banks
of the 57th Wildes Rifles, was noted for his courage. When his captain
fell, and although himself wounded and weak with facial injuries, he
still tried to save him, instead of withdrawing. When Banks finally
died, Bhan Singh retrieved his personal belongings. For several days,
the severe attacks continued, including a chlorine gas attack, without
gain or loss of one yard of territory. Finally the Indians were
withdrawn, on 30th April. Between 24th and 1st May, 1915, the
Lahore Division lost 3889 men, one third of its total.
After they left the Ieper Salient in May 1915, Indians were
deployed only sporadically here.After yet another bloody battle , near
Loos inSeptember 1915, the Indian divisions left Europe and were
deployed in Mesopotamia. That does not mean that all Indians had
indeed left western Europe. Members of the Indian Labour Corps and
of the Indian Cavalry were seen in western Europe, several times over
the next three years.

Cooperation was sought by a group of European Sikhs, from

the In Flanders Fields Museum and the Cultural Centrum Ieper. (Ieper
is about 50 km south of Ostend, around 150 from the Dutch border.)
The Belgian province of Flanders was most generous: the large town
hall of Ieper, with four large halls were made available for use by the
Sikh sangat, a huge khanda was placed on the tower, with beautiful
lighting, a large langar kitchen was installed, buses for use for the
tours to the battle fields were made available, wide publicity was
given, ... the list is long. Support also came from Sikhs abroad; items
were generously supplied for the Exhibition. These included Birs that
had accompanied the valiant to cold war-torn Europe and had returned
back to Punjab, with the surviving few, when it was all over.
