Everyone who knows British history knows about these, but I wonder whether one in a hundred, or a thousand, could tell you (a) whether the perpetrator of the Black Hole was Hindu, Muslim or Sikh and (b) what the religion of the 1857 rebels was. In post-1945 British colonial history, there have been many enemies, objects of stereotypical hostility (the pro-Zionist Stern and Lehi Gangs, Mau Mau, EOKA, Malayan communists, the IRA to name but some) but few of these were Muslim or Arab, or categorised as such.
