It all kicked off in Rawalpindi. 

Sikhs in those areas were predominantly Urban Sikhs rather than rural ones. 

i think that whole potohar and azad kashmir area had the worst killing of sikhs and hindus.   just read about the mirpur massacre in November 1947  and in that alone around 20,000 sikhs/hindus were killed     i wonder why so many stayed behind after the partition apparently 10,000s of sikhs/hindus from the azad kashmir region stayed behind after the partition.   

its these same muslims from these regions that are here in the UK

I don't know they call it Azad Kashmir,  they are not even Kashmiris. 

A more correct term would be Punjabi speaking areas adjacent to Jammu.

Their just basically pahari punjabis.  

Jammu in india too is like a pahari extension of pubjab!  Same with haryana though not pahari.

Their not kashmiris   their basically punjabis from the pahari areas.    Real kashmiris are from the valley of kashmir which is in india.

I'll stick it on sa later today (because it will take forever for admin to clear the post here). I want to watch it again myself. The farmers in the pind seem to be doing well (as is much of my family apparently), so people might be able to pick up some tips. A lot of the village elders seem to be ex-military.

If they hadn't served the british army in both world wars. What would have been the likely outcomes for punjab/india and europe/uk?

Any predictions or assessments?

Well, one question to ask is what would have happened if apnay fought (as in war) to re-establish their own independence in Panjab itself. I think it would have only taken a fraction of the number of those who fought in the foreign wars to have gained a victory in Panjab. Plus, strategically, it would have made sense in terms of attacking an occupier when they themselves are being attacked elsewhere. This would have starved the occupiers of both manpower and financial resources, as well as opening up another front - which I believe would have made them leave Panjab because of being overstretched with dealing with the Germans. I think one of the possible long term consequences of this would've possibly been a closer relationship with Russia and Sikhs?

 

Europe would have looked very different to now. There would probably have been no Hitler and ww2 either.
