Sikhs make up 1.87% of the Indian population and yet they were a majority in the Indian army at one point. They have the most medals awarded per person since WWI, WWII and countless other battles (eg. Sarangati battle: 21 Vs 10,000). They were also the only ones to control Afganisthan at one point.
They are also athletic people. When all players were Sikhs on the Indian field hockey team, they brough home 4 straight olympic medals. (However the Indian govt has quotas for gettin players from diff states so now the team ranks low). They also produced alot of runners, marathon runners, wrestlers (one is in WWE : 7'3, 400 pounds of muscle).
So I was wondering if Sikhs are still keeping their warrior identity and comprise most of the Indian army today?
