In China, rare remembrance of fallen Uighur soldiers of 1962

Are you debating religion or the loyalty of Tibetan and Uighur soldiers conscripted to the Chinese army during the 1962 war. Get your head out of your a$$ and leave religion out of your discussions

There would have been no question of thtem fighting against India. The Uyghurs in the Tarim Basin did not even support the Soviet backed Uyghur separatists in Ili led by Ehmetjan Qasim in the Ili rebellion. The Tibetans in Kham and Amdo (Qinghai) were willing to fight for China against the Dalai Lama's Tibetans in the 1930s and 1940s. So fighting against India is a no brainer.
 
Uyghur PLA officers,their forefathers showed their worth fighting Indian aggressors.

Some Uyghur PLA units were also sent to Tibet to quell the riot in 1950s,one of my friends(a Tajik),his father was there as a PLA soldier.His father told him that Tibetans are shart shooters.

The Tajiks in Xinjiang are actually Ismaili Pamiris, and not Tajiks like those in Tajikistan and Afghanistan. We don't have any Farsi/Dari/Tajik speakers in China.
 
Many Tajiks are voluntarily help the country to guard her westernmost border

There needs to be a massive renaming and reclassification of ethnicities in China to get rid of the wrong names.

Tajiks in China are not Tajiks. They are neither sunni, nor do they speak Tajik/Dari/Farsi. They are Pamiris, specifically Sarikoli and Wakhi language speakers, and are an eastern Iranic people. They should be called Pamiri. They are called Pamiri in Tajikistan, where real Tajiks live. I have no idea who was responsible for this screw up.

Uyghurs in China are not descended from the ancient Uyghurs. Its the Yugur Buddhists in Gansu who are descended from ancient Uyghurs.

Modern Uyghurs in China are descended from the Karluk Turks who founded the Kara Khanid Khanate. They should be renamed Karluk or Eastern Chagatai or Sarts. Their language should be called Eastern Turki or Eastern Chagatai or Karluk. The Soviets were responsible for giving them the wrong name Uyghur in 1921.

The Utsul people in Hainan are called "Hainan HuiHui", they should be named Utsul.

Wow didn't knew Tajiks in China are not Tajiks.
 
It was the Chinese who copied pagan idolatry from Indians and even used to fall down before the idols.. :rofl:

still your govt allows Chinese citizens to worship buddha who was an Indian king instead of banning such paganism.

Race, Soul, and Indo-Aryan Religion

An uneducated statement. Budhha was born in Lumbini in Nepal. And he was never a king but a prince.
