Punjabi/Pakistan and Turk Brotherhood?

Great finding. I read some where that mostly Punjabi muslims were deployed in Mecca against Turks. It was mentioned in some defense journal.

Punjabi musalman was not agitated at all, he was loyal to the core to the empire which has granted them big share in army. Neither Sikh empire, nor Mughal or delhi sultanates had given importance to Punjabi muslims, they were not given place in nobility and were not recruited in their regular armies. So Punjabi muslim was head over heels for Angraiz.

1. You must have read it in one of the works of ex-Pakistani army officer, A.H. Amin.


2. Apparently it was soldiers of the 14th Punjab regiment and they were mainly from Jhelum.


3. Also apparently at first the Sikh soldiers were approached but refused due to believing that the Kaba was a holy place (much in the way most Muslims whilst not believing in Christianity would respect a church as a place of worship), then the Punjabi "Muslims" were asked and they did it without any questioning.


The British loved the Punjabi Muslim soldiers.

The Punjabi Musselman was regarded as the backbone of the old Indian army, and constituted about a third of the British Indian Army. Known for their reliability, they were steady men who could be depended on to carry out any task at hand.”

They have been rewarded by the British and their Anglo-Saxon successors with the state of Pakistan and support for it.

Destruction of mosques by the Pakistan army


1. During the 1971 war the Pakistani (Punjabi) army is said to have destroyed mosques.

2. Destruction of mosques in Pakistan e.g.

They did the same in other operations in rest of FATA, they demolish houses, markets and even mosques. This was the standard procedure of British Indian army in pashtun belt, they used to burn down entire villages or razing it the ground and destroying their crops as punishment whenever they used to do the operation in the area. The house which got destroyed in the video, would cost minimum of 5 lakh rupees (half million) to rebuild. So it is a tactic to economically cripple the population, as punishment.

Despite this, they - the Pakistani (Punjabi) army - are viewed as some sort of champions of Islam by Arabs and Turks.

First of all it was Pakistani army, you cannot change this horrible fact. Many pathans also killed traitor bengalis.

Bengal's Kazi Nazrul Islam, BD's national poet, was the unique voice that had cried out against oppression and British colonialism. Perhaps the only non-political intellectual who was jailed by the British for his revolutionary calls to throw out the imperialist masters.
