As I look at the photograph with the caption: "Image: The Secundra Bagh after the slaughter of 2,000 rebels by the 93rd Highlanders and the 4th Punjab Regiment", I wonder why did the Sikh fanatically support the British? Is anyone aware of any literature giving a reason for this? Was it all about greed and lack of ethics?

Sikhs were against mughals who had killed Guru Tegbahadur and many hindus and sikhs.Naturally they didnt support 1857 movement as bahadurshah jafar was declared as the leader by the soldiers.Muslim soldiers mainly fought for islam.
