Yes but almost all of these Muslim soldiers were recruited from the "martial races" of today's Punjab, Sindh, Baluchistan and KPK.

Not at all, whenever Pakistan fought with India; thousands of Muslim volunteers all around the world came to fight for Pakistan. Even the Azerbaijan-Armenian war saw over 6,000 Muslim volunteers. Today's war on terror is a domino effect of the US invasion of Iraq.

Also, this was probably the last time that there was a strong bonhomie between Muslims and all other religions against the British act of waging a war on something dear to the Muslims of Indian Sub-Continent, the Caliph.

Is that racist or ignorant or a bigotry? I really don't know.

But neither anthrapologically, nor psychologically, any such attributes have been assigned to a particular group of people. Until and unless a collective of Kluver-Bucy afflicted are there.

May I suggest to discard the colonial mindset? A good read

There is a reason why I specifically quoted "martial race" - I don't believe in it nor do I endorse it.

I'm just trying to explain you that most Muslims in the British Indian Colonial Army were recruited from what the British described as "martial races" whom were (for muslims) primarily found in modern-day Pakistan.

That's because only a third of the British Indian Army were Muslim. Logical enough?

Of course. Rest two third must have been martial enough.

Muslim soldiers also revolted from British colonist army and joined Ottomon army in first world war to fight on behalf of ottomans against enemies of Turks....

Our ancestors also campaigned for Ottoman Empire, held rallies against British government during first world war when UK was fighting against Turks...

I know it for a fact (based on my personal involvement in official capacity) how serious the current government and the military are in strengthening relations with Turkey much stronger. Similarly with China, which is public knowledge.

The world in general isn't aware of how strong and united Turkey has become and where it's headed under its current leadership.

I agree with our Turkish brother who posted above that there must be ACTIONS and fast, to solidify these relationships backed by economic and military strategic cooperation.

Except that those individuals of other religions were merely using the Khilafat Movement to forward their political interests, the same thing you're jeering about in other posts in this thread.
