Why does the Indian Army have regiments like the Sikh Regiment, Jat Regiment, Rajput Regiment and Gorkha Regiment, but no Bengal Regiment? The answer lies in one of the most controversial colonial ideas ever created — the Martial Race Theory. In this video, we uncover how the British Empire classified certain communities such as Sikhs, Gurkhas, Pathans and Rajputs as "martial races" while labeling Bengalis, South Indians and many others as weak or non-martial. We explore the roots of this theory after the Revolt of 1857, its connection with British military recruitment, World War I, World War II, the Chamar Regiment, and its lasting impact on India and Pakistan. From Mangal Pandey and the Bengal Army to the Sikh Regiment, Gurkhas, the British Indian Army, and the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, this documentary reveals how a colonial myth shaped military policy, social identity, and politics across South Asia. If you are interested in Indian History, British Raj, Martial Race Theory, Bengal Regiment, Sikh Regiment, Gurkha Regiment, Pakistan Army, Bangladesh Liberation War, Military History, Colonial India, and History Explained, this video is for you. #indianarmy #martial #controversyvideo #untoldhistory This story is presented by Siddharth Singh.
