its a shame really to see the pics of those "muslims" who fought against muslims under the british flag and for what? some salary and medals from gora sahab. there are many turkish members here on this forum . how they will feel when they will see these pics that we are honoring are of those traitors from subcontinent who fought against ottomans under british flag.Nationalism, sectarianism and materialism have caused huge damage to us . atleast i cant take pride in looking at the pics of those who fought for brits and i am sure no body can justify such actions from Quran and hadith but many will try to get it justified by using some lame excuses and logics just to prove what their forefathers did was right .
i apologize from the turk muslim brothers here but they should remember that vast majority of muslims from sub continent supported ottoman empire and only 0.1% took pride in serving their gora masters.

2001 saw a military escalation
a year with 'life under canvas' came with its blessings
a time to know your soldiers beyond ops & training
