Summary "Famous Fights of Indian Native Regiments" by Reginald Hodder is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the valiant contributions and achievements of various Indian native regiments within the context of British military campaigns, particularly during World War I. The book highlights the martial spirit and capabilities of different ethnic groups such as Sikhs, Rajputs, Gurkhas, and others in the Indian Army. The opening of the book sets the stage with an introduction that emphasizes the bravery and loyalty of Indian soldiers, recounting their historical significance and the diverse racial composition of the forces. It features inspiring messages from military leaders like Lieutenant-General James Willcocks, who motivates the troops by reminding them of their proud heritage and martial traditions. Hodder outlines the racial distinctions among the soldiers—including Sikhs as a dominant community within the army—and describes their characteristics, which foreshadows the detailed accounts of battles and engagements that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
