Was there any Muslim regiment in British Empire??

Many....

Around million men from a Muslim background served with the the British empire by the end of the Second World War , nearly all came from what is now Pakistan.

What is now India also had similar numbers, drawn from Sikhs, Jatts, Gurkhas and so on.
