If India and Britain went to war?

[puzzled]

If India and Britain went to war which country would you side with?

This is mostly for sikhs born and living in the West. Would you side with your country of birth or with India?

Both have done wrong to us 

The British tried to kill off Sikhi

India tried the same

So it depends on what the war was for and we'd pick the side which seemed most righteous.

I'd be a conscientious objector to all our bretheren being involved in either side since both have a history of chucking our menfolk to the frontlines to be murdered for their causes no matter how trivial, just look how many sikh officers and rank have been killed in the past five years defending borders after MOdi opens his mouth and sabre rattles

Interesting   but shouldn't we be loyal to the country we live in ? After all we work in this country, have been given rights and freedom, they have let us build gurdware and practise sikhi. They give us jobs, treatment and benefits.  What has India done ?  Shouldn't we be loyal to the country that gives us food and shelter?

I hate uk i would pick india as uk british helped with 84 bluestar and spilt india with pakistan in 47 which killed thousands.

 

Plus how they ruled over india for 200 years and drained our resources

The death toll of Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus was actually over a million deaths during the partition. Though punjab saw the worst the situation in Bengal was no different but on a smaller scale.

The famine in Bengal during the raj also resulted in around 3 million Indians starving to death      

It was a terrible rule

I don't think it's about loyalty, your motherland is the country you were born in, if you were born in the UK, that's your motherland, it's not just there to give youu jobs or better treatment, your stuck with it.

In the event of war, i'd choose neither, the only winners in war are those who get rich off the backs of it not those who fight for what they've been told is right.

tough question, Puzzled made a good point. The UK is our home, as we work here, got educated here etc. while India is the motherland so there will also be a connection to India. I support both nations.  In a war, I would not pick a side but I bet some Uk extremists will single put British Indians and attack them. 

 

But an India vs Britan war is very very unlikely. both nations have a decent relationship, In the UK British Indians have become apart of British UK culture. The Gora's love us .some of them come to me and say how the love Indian culture and British Indian people. they love our food and even picking up on some Punjabi words.

you don't have to "take sides".

for example alot of people were against the Iraq war, but does not mean they are against 'Britain'.

governments go to war not countries...
