Mohak Mangal | Why are Punjabis Decreasing in Indian Army? @mohak_mangal | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Over the years, Punjabis, particularly Sikhs have formed a major part of the Indian army. But did you know that they were present in even larger numbers in the British Indian army? Earlier, the British mainly had upper-caste Hindus and Muslims in their army- but then came the revolt of 1857. And that changed the status quo. More and more Punjabis (majorly Sikhs) began to be recruited in the British Indian Army. The dominance of Punjabis and Sikhs in the army continued even after independence- though somewhat in a milder form. But recently, these numbers have been declining. So much so that Punjab, which used to send the highest number of officers and recruits in the army- has been overtaken by other states.
What could be the reasons behind this? In this video, we talk about what are the major reasons why Punjabis and Sikhs were recruited into the army in such large numbers and then go on to discuss what are the reasons for the decline in this trend.
