Any South Asians here whose (great)grandfathers served in WW2?

Its a mix of Nepali and Himachal. They met at their MBA college in USA

My father's side had a lot of marriages from different states. But from the direct lineage only great grandmother is Dravidian

 

[Gengar]

your grandfather served under dr.mengele

There’s a possibility that indirectly that could could have been the case. Because the Japanese and the Germans worked together, and the Japanese also tried to team up with South Asian rebels to fight against the British. Not saying he was a rebel, but some did indirectly work with Dr. Mengele because of their cooperation with the Axis. I think he would have been hanged had he been part of such a coalition, and he actually lived until 1989 so I don’t think it’s the case for my grandfather or his cousin.

Idk i just remember my dad sitting me down when i was 13 saying "our family has a history of despicable acts" and proceeded to tell me how my great great grandfather was in the SS

Great great grandfather? 5 generations of your family since 1939. Motherfuckers were reproducing Deutschland.

Anyway, you mirin' the workbook, son? Perhaps we are closer friends than you may believe.

You should! RAF is Air Force, right? I believe mine was a ground soldier or however you call that. I don’t know the specifics but it would make sense.

Then, you are a Pahari with roots in South India. You should do a DNA test, you’ll have interesting results. I’m guessing you will score a decent amount of East Asian (from a Tibetan-like source).

Imperial Japan is more disgusting than any other given how modern day Japanese are proud of what they did

Actually, the Japanese are ashamed of their ancestors. It’s only the right-wingers amongst them who are proud of their legacy. You can compare them to the Germans who also condemn their ancestors for what they did. But I would say, that if you compare the Germans to the Japanese, that the former were angels in comparison.

My grandfather and his cousin served in WW2 as soldiers under the British as Pakistan was still a colony at the time. After the war, my grandfather became a policeman. In my family, we still have soldiers and policemen, some even being part of the elite policemen, who are soldier-like police officers, usually sent to eliminate terrorists.

fought the wrong guys, they probably were sent to Afrika werent they?
there were many indians and pakistan soldiers who were set up against the Afrikakorps.

Yes Royal Air Force. After the war, many servicemen from the British colonies were offered the chance to settle in the UK in industrial cities like Birmingham, Leicester, and London, which needed workers to rebuild post-war Britain.They are the original immigrants and their kids are basically the 3rd and 4th generation immigrants from India, most immigrants from India came in the early 2000s and are either 1st or 2nd gen. 3rd and 4th gen are very rare.

True, but the South Asians were eager soldiers. Usually on the side of the British, but some were also rogue rebels. In my grandfather and his cousin’s case, they actually had to fight against the Japanese soldiers. These phases of the war were in South East Asia. It might be Burma (modern-day Myanmar) but I’m not entirely sure.

Interesting, they are similar to Mirpuris who settled in the UK in the 1960s. Yours probably arrived a decade earlier!

I said basically said “Yes! A little bit!” I’m conversational but when I speak Urdu, it’s easy to tell I’m not fluent in it because I make basic grammar mistakes. There’s a lot of gendered vocabulary and I mix it up. The only languages I speak fluently are English and Dutch.

I dont know where they are now only my grandfather has vague memories of them and spoke to them last many years back. Once they moved to the UK they kinda cut off ties from back home

That’s pretty brutal, any idea why they did that? All my relatives who are settled in the west are in touch with those back home. It’s incredibly taboo for us to break familial ties. By the way, you could do a DNA test and then you may come across those relatives. It’s a good opportunity to connect with them, I’m sure they would like to know more about their roots and where they come from.

I am not sure but from what I have read people who fought for the british and enlisted in their armies were labeled traitors and collaborators and were ostracized from the society for working for the "devil".

Insane how my grandfather fought a World War and the only thing I’ve done is rot and be a 29 year old dateless KHHV. I am a disgrace.

During WW1, they forced South Asian Muslims to fight against the Ottomans. Those who refused ended up getting the death penalty. I can’t speak for my grandfather but I’m sure some of them didn’t want to fight against the Axis because they resented the British.

That’s interesting. First time I heard about that. Actually nvm. There were already independent movements going on. Some had militias even. I guess they were the ones saying all that.

You can look it up. They didn’t want to fight the Ottomans because they were fellow Muslims, something they weren’t aware of until they heard the call to prayer.

Having to fight against fellow muslims must have been brutal for them. But maybe the british psyoped them into thinking they were liberating the arabs

That’s exactly why they refused to fight and got killed for it. They would place them on ships, and then fire cannons at it so it would sink into the sea. They all died by drowning.

You would fight in a WW too if drafted, it's not an achievment. Unless one is a member of special forces or wins medals or some shit, then it's something.
