Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - During the latter half of the last century, a large number of migrants from the Indian sub-continent flocked to the shores of East Africa in dhows under considerable hardship. It was not until 1895 that there was an intensive Sikh presence in the country when a contingent was brought to Mombasa in order to police the Uganda railway as well as the caravan routes into the hinterland. After which, the Sikh military contact and presence intensified with Sikh soldiers being brought to deal with the Kabaka's uprising in 1898 in Uganda and other similar excursions. However, it was the building of the Uganda railway, which witnessed a large influx of Sikhs into Kenya. This is the story of a Sikh, Waryam Singh Khalifa, who immigrated to East Africa to work on the railways, and when the work on the railways was finished, he stayed in East Africa for the rest of his working life, to work on the electric projects in Kenya and Uganda, until his retirement, when he left his beloved East Africa for the Punjab.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 400 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book examines in successive chapters the Indian Army's role in extending and securing the British Empire, especially the employment of Sikh soldiers to be in the vanguard of military operations, and as the Sentinels of the Empire. The book takes us from the fall of the Sikh kingdom to the horrors of the Sepoy mutiny. The North West Frontier of India, the most sensitive strategic frontier of the British Empire, as the British feared a Russian invasion of India through the Khyber and Bolan Passes as the Russian Empire had expanded towards India. The military operations on the Frontier tied down large numbers of Sikh soldiers in a long series of inconclusive skirmishes and major campaigns. The British military success over Burma in 1826 and the annexation of the Ahom kingdom of Assam marked the entry of the British to the Northeastern region of India. The right of conquest brought these territories directly under the control of the British government. The steady annexation of Chinese territory by Europeans led to British occupation of Hong Kong and Shanghai. This led to extensive recruitment of Sikh soldiers for paramilitary forces of these territories. The same tale of recruitment and policing is told of the Straits Settlements, especially the Sikhs of Singapore and Malaysia, who carry on the martial traditions of their forefathers in their respective countries. After the Indian Army's conquest of East and Central Africa, Kenya, Uganda, and Somaliland, the Sikh soldier policed the forests and barren lands of these countries. We are told how the Sikh soldiers were especially recruited to fight the slave hunters in Nyasaland and after defeating them, they went on to fight in the Ashanti war and in Somaliland. And finally, we see the Sikh soldier's gallantry in the bloodletting of the Two World Wars.…
