Royal enfields and indians are unseparable
those aren't bullets
royal Enfield bikes aren't just bullets @@gaswhole

Everyone neglects the Indian Army in the history of WW2. The Indian Army inflicted some of the first losses on Axis forces in Africa, fought heroically in North Africa and fought the Japanese to a standstill in Burma and NW India (now Bangladesh).
very very nice information about indian history
These poor soldiers fought and died for a wrong cause and foreign colonial power...
Jaihind
Indian Soldiers Standing tall and sturdy💪
They were fighting only for money... not for their country lol😂😂😂
@@ayushdasmohapatra3164 what should they have done at that time. All that india had Stolen away by britain.
All that india is left with is poverty and famine.
So , there's no need to laugh at someone's pain.
Azaad hind fauj 🇮🇳

German knowingly used azaad hind fauj, never put them on Indian fronts. People who joined the organization ended being in a scam. Everyone knew Hitler was a fraud
@@theeashish well atleast they tried
@@theeashish subhas chandra bose was creating again ajad hind fouj to fight with british that was the main reason why Britishers left India
@@theeashish lmao he died after when britishers left

The Indian Contingent!
Aise video dikha kar british log indians ko apne liye ladne k liye lalchawate the
They rode that Enfield way back....
The commentary seems to confuse horses and mules, and also uses "English" as a synonym for "British" in taking note of the non-Indian officers. This newsreel doesn't try to present an overly "mechanized" vision of the Indian Army battling the Axis in 1940 and so shows us plenty of pack animals, etc.
The dates are important
These Muslim soldiers are from areas which are in Pakistan and mostly from North Punjab region of Pakistani Punjab I.e Khushab, Chakwal , Attock, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, etc etc, the traditionally most heavily recruited region in entire subcontinent
خطہ پوٹھوہار کے لوگ تاریخ میں ہمیشہ اپنی سرزمین سے زیادہ اپنے ذاتی مفادات تنخواہ مراعات کے لئے غیرملکی آقاؤں کے کی غلامی کرکے خوش ہوتے رہے انہیں اپنی مٹی نہیں پیسہ پیارا ہوتا ہے ان کی اسی خاصیت کے مدنظر انگریز نے اس خطہ کے لوگوں اور برادریوں مثلاً جنجوعہ، باجوہ، سروہی، گکھڑ، عباسی، ستی اور نیازی کو Martial Race قرار دے کر ان پر فوجی بھرتی کے دروازے کھول دئے اور آج تک پاکستانی فوج میں ان کا ان ہی خصوصیات کے سبب غلبہ رہا ہے اور ہم انہیں 76 سال سے بھگت رہے ہیں۔ وڈیو میں بھی خوب خوب ان کے غلامانہ اوصاف کی تفصیل بیان کی گئ ہے
And they were Indians pre partition.
Muslim soldiers didn't participate in ww2 from India due to Ottoman Empire false narratives. just like false nation Pakistan 😢😢😢😢😢
Indian continent always on service for gora nations 😂😂😂😂😂
tu bhi aata hai unme
😏We Hindus and Indians don't like the british but the british were not such bad expect churchill🇬🇧👉🏼
انگریزوں نے اردو زبان کو زندہ رکھا تھا۔ لیکن اب ہندوستان میں اردو کو وہ تحفظ حاصل نہیں ہے۔ بس ہندی ہندی کہہ کر پکارتے ہیں۔
It is a useless language
Urdu is copy paste of Hindi
Actually speaking both of you are wrong.
No language is not important.
And Urdu is not derived from Hindi. It's derived from Hindustani (even Hindi is derived from Hindustani) which is a mixture of Turkish, Persian and Sanskrit.
Hindi n peda kiya h Urdu ko murkh 😂😂
Beta sanskrit Urdu se bhi purana hai
That stereotypical Indian music in the background is hilarious and a little offensive because it is evidence of the orientalist gaze, which was patronizing to say the least.
What sort of music should they have used? Can we tell at this distance just what person or persons selected the music actually accompanying this footage?
What a dumb comment
Just shows your ignorance and probably arrogance as well. What should've they used, London bridge is falling down jingle?
No it’s not tbh I’m Pakistani we heard this it’s Hindustani music
Bri'ish's slav3
.......
They are not Slav
Slavic countries are in eastern Europe (Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia and more)
@@bibekdas7449 He meant to say British Slaves.
I think he meant slaves@@bibekdas7449
