Did you know Chinese soldiers once wore Sikh turbans? 🇨🇳👳♂️
This is the untold story of how the Sikh regiment influenced the first Chinese ethnic military regiment — a tale buried in the shadows of the Opium Wars and the British East India Company’s military agenda.
In the 1850s, as Britain fought China, it deployed one of its most trusted forces — Sikh soldiers. Known for their bravery, discipline, and distinct pagdi, these Sardars left a lasting impression on Chinese soil.
So much so, that when China formed its first regiment, even their soldiers wore turbans — a symbol of strength and respect, inspired by Sikh warriors.
From building gurudwaras in China to maintaining peace as police officers, Sikhs left behind a legacy that history rarely talks about.
This isn’t just history — it’s a moment of pride and reflection.
