Question

Indian soldiers in the British army were very pathetic how?

Answer 1

Hint: The Sepoys were Indian troops recruited by European colonial powers from India's native population. The sepoys were organised into battalions led by European officers and were trained and armed in European fashion. The units were referred to as "native sepoys" until 1885 when the phrase was abandoned.

Complete answer:
Prior to its decommissioning in 1947, the British Indian Army was the British Indian Empire's primary military force. It was in charge of defending the British Indian Empire as well as the princely kingdoms, which may have their own armies. During the First and Second World Wars, the Indian Army played a vital role in the British Empire's armies, both in India and abroad.

The British army's Indian men were dissatisfied. They were not permitted to wear their religious and customary emblems or headgear. They were paid a pittance and had no prospects for advancement. The Indian soldiers became enraged as a result of this.

The Indian soldiers in the British army were in a very bad state -
- In comparison to British soldiers, they are paid less.
- Soldiers from the Indian tribes were not permitted to wear religious symbols, which was against their beliefs.
- They were also urged to cross sea passages, but Indians refused because they revered the sea as their God.
- The British punish them harshly as well.

Note: The sepoys believed that the British did not respect their religion, which led to their mutiny in 1857, which sparked the Great Rebellion. During the Great Rebellion in April 1857, 85 sepoys refused to use the new cartridges, believing them to be dirty. The 85 sepoys were tried and imprisoned by a court-martial.
