I hear - and it sure looks like - these guys are Sikh.
The Sikhs I knew in college were incredibly smart, reliable, friendly, and all sorts of good. As a people, in general, their military record
is outstanding. They don't try to force their religion on anyone ... and though there was the Golden Temple unpleasantness a quarter century ago that is working itself out - they are as a group an impressive people.What this video has to do with that, I'm not sure .... but good googly moogly.
Bearded & turbaned or fully westernized - the Sikhs here in the USA that I have run into my whole life are a great addition to our national character - even when they aren't chewing light bulbs.
Oh - and this is another reason not to mess with South Carolina.

OK, fragile karate boards and fluorescent tubes are one thing.... but the sledge to the bone between the pecs at 3:23 is the real deal. Nice.
Really? A lot of the Sikh's I know are THUGS. But then again, I am engaged to an Indian woman and have a very different perspective. I have met some quiet warrior Sikhs in my travels, but in this country a lot of them I could do without.
You paint with a very broad brush on the Sikhs, Sal. You always have.
Strong warriors? For certain. But just like not every Klingon is like Worf, not every Sikh is Sahibzada Ajit Singh ji .
Barret .50 at 1000 meters.. then follow with snake, nape and strafe. Crazy mofo's... especially the guy waxing his beard with his blood.
I think I pulled liberty with those guys in Singapore a few years ago... :-)
And you're still alive to tell the tale? Outstanding! Major liberty! 8-)
Ummm .... I think I have touched on them once before, and yes, I do paint with a broad brush - notice the "generally." I am just reporting on my personal experience.
As for Indians - most Indians speak poorly of all the other ethnic/religious/castes from India; except their own of course.
A friend of mine is a Patel. Have you ever heard what other higher caste Indians say about Patels? So .... there you go.
it was said that Britsh Empire was held together by Royal Navy and Indian Army... with Sikhs and Gurkhas as the core.
If we're going to generalize, you might find this post by OnParkStreet interesting. She is an East indian physician who posts regularly at ChicagoBoyz.

Happy T-day to The Porch.
You mean besides the fact that virtually every hotel you go to has someone named "Patel" in either management or ownership?
Many years ago I represented a physician in a deal. My client was originally very high caste in the old country. The other side, in the old country, was anything but. Much litigation ensured. It took awhile for me to figure out what was really going on.
I enjoyed the female judge's reaction; a mix of awe and horror.
