User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/1st Royal Sikh Division

"Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal (Victory belongs to them; Who recite the name of god with true heart)"

- Motto of the 1st Royal Sikh Division

The 1st Royal Sikh Division, also known as the First Division of the Royal Sikh's, is a thirty thousand strong unit of the UNSC Army. The Royal Sikh Division was created in the 2302, in order to allow religious members of the Sikh community to serve in the UNSC Defence Force in an atmosphere conducive to their religious convictions.

Like all religions on Earth, Sikhism saw a huge numbers of its followers abandoned their chosen religion as humanity moved out amongst the stars. Like some forms of Christianity, Sikhism turned to self-sufficiency and independence but also gained a certain edge of militarization after the Indian-Iranian Nuclear Exchange in the 21st Century.

Religious Accommodation
The Royal Sikh Division is totally made up of followers of the Sikh religion. Seventy percent of its soldiers come from the Indian sub-continent, whilst the rest come from the rest of Earth and her colonies.
