The Indian Mutiny

(as promised the proudly politically incorrect guide to the Indian Mutiny)
Today is the Anniversary of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. In recent years, Hindu nationalists, Marxists and other 'great minds' have taken it upon themselves to identify with this cause. Fitting. The mutineers were incompetent, deceitful and cowards. Let us review:

Sepoy regiments stationed near Delhi, egged on by muslims trying to restore Moghul rule stormed the city and slaughtered every Christian - man, woman and child, English or Indian. [already you can see why the mutineers are revered by leftists]

The mutiny spread to cities like Cawnpore and Lucknow. At Cawnpore, the mutineers had promised safe passage to British women and children if they surrendered. The British agreed to the terms and the mutineers, broke their word and slaughtered the women and children first with guns then: "four butchers from the local market went into the Bibi-Ghar where they proceeded to hack the hostages down with cleavers and hatchet".

When news of the mutiny spread, a Scottish regiment, which was on its way to Hong Kong, was intercepted at sea and diverted to India. It was these soldiers, fresh from Scotland, who came to relieve Cawnpore, who discovered the hacked remains of British women and children - some of whom had been thrown down a well while still alive.

It is difficult to imagine what went on in the minds of the Scottish soldiers - never having seen a brown face -probably never to have seen a woman or child murdered in such a manner - to see fair children - with matted blood and wounds that would be considered inhuman for slaughtering sheep. When the members of one race brutalize the women and children of northern Europeans it ignites an unstoppable fire that knows no quenching --I sincerely doubt peoples whose culture includes sati, drowning infant daughters in milk, multiple wives and burning women who don't have dowries can understand this.

The Scottish swore their ancient highland oaths that they would let no mutineer live and would not rest until they had avenged the death of the innocents. The fire spread to the other British regiments , and the loyal Sikh and Punajbi regiments, who were ashamed of the cowardly actions of the mutineers and wanted no part in restoring Muslim rule to India.

The British Retake Cawnpore
When the British retook Cawnpore- they first blasted a three foot wide hole in walls surrounding it. The first regiment to go through this breach was often known as the 'forlorn hope' because they would suffer losses as high as 80% often to be turned back.

Both the Scottish and Sikh regiments demanded the right to go through the breach. The Scottish were given the honor. They charged, screaming Celtic war cries (where the 'rebel yell' of the American south come from ). The mutineers saw the onrushing Highlanders. In the same way the Scots have never seen a brown face, the blond and red hair, light eyes, kilts and bonnets were alien to the mutineers. This, along with relentless charge of the highlanders who, despite being splattered with blood and losing great numbers persisted, led the mutineers to believe the Scottish were jjinns - or the souls of the women and children they had slaughtered. The mutineers started to throw down their arms and beg for quarter. None would be given. The Scottish (rightfully) did no spare a man , nor did the Sikhs and others who followed.

Eventually some were caught and they were given a fitting punishment:

"the soldiers took their sepoy prisoners to the Bibi-Ghar and forced them to lick the bloodstains from the walls and floor[citation needed]. They then hanged or "blew from the cannon" the majority of the sepoy prisoners"

That was merciful. Once the mutineers had initiated a war started by cowardice, dishonor and deceit, they forfeited any right for mercy beyond inhumane slaughter.


The British had the fire of God in them and would march through hot deserts that even Indians (let alone North Europeans) could barely survive, and then go into battle outnumbered and win. Much as it is an overused term, their efforts were literally superhuman.



The mutineers were not only cowards but they remarkably incompetent. At Lucknow they had 30,000 troops and could not take the British garrison there who had 3000 (including a loyal Rajput regiment).

Eventually the mutiny was put down.

So why would Hindu Nationalist, Marxists an others embrace such a dishonorable, incompetent affair? I don't know but its a clear indicator their views and they themselves are rotten, putrid, and may I use the word? yes. Evil. Yes. When you have to lie to support your point of view then chances are that point of view is wrong. There may be some misguided souls among them as there are misguided in any movement, but the instigators. They must know what they are doing.

Is it any accident that nearly all the Indian regiments associated with bravery and honor (words not just bestowed on them by the British) stayed loyal to the British -the Sikhs, the Gurkhas, and better Sepoy regiments? No soldier or any color, likes a coward or a mutineer. There have been some 'loyal' mutinys - men just asking for better conditions but from the start this was clearly not one.

Where the British perfect in India? Far from it. In fact with the exception of Bombay (which was gotten by treaty) and a few other places they shouldn't have been there - but nor should the Mughals , nor should the Aryan invaders and so forth.
But wait a minute Knickerblogger didn't you americans 'mutiny'? Nope. George Washington and later Robert E. Lee (God bless 'em)
both withdrew their commissions then took up arms.




That is the honorable thing to do. They fought on the field, and while the Americans did not follow the 'rules' of war as well as the British, overall they fought honorably for an honorably cause. The instigators behind the mutiny were simply hoping for a return to Moghal rule and the typical despotic court intrigue and deception associated with the Orient.



They fought like men not cowards. Although he was fighting against 'my people' at least Bose fought 'honorably' as did Ghandi, though they both chose different paths. Associating the cowards of the 57 mutiny with men like Ghandi and Bose does them both a disservice.

Marxism and Cultural Marxism are based on lies - and it is therefore no accident that they are now dressing up this mutiny as a virtue and referring the men like Lee and Washington as "oppressors". (in turn they call the Muslim conquest of rule of Spain a 'golden age' and 'enlightened rule' and the Spanish 'bigots' for reconquering and driving out the Moors. How much clearer does it have to be?

As another side note: among the great martial peoples certainly the Scottish are up there. It is no accident that the border clans who first fought the Romans, then Normans, were always on the frontiers of Anglo Saxon countries - they were put against the Catholics in Ireland, they were the Indian fighters in America, first to push down into Texas and fight the Mexicans and were on the border of the Mason Dixon Line.
