Create a Sikh regiment in the British Army
Historically, Sikhs have been very involved in the British (Indian) Army, serving in many wars and battles (WW1, WW2 and the Battle of Saragarhi). We believe opening a Sikh regiment in the UK army will help represent the previous bravery of Sikhs not just in the British Army, but in the World too.
