Soldiers in India have rebelled either when there was a perception that their religion is under threat or they changed sides whenever they were poorly paid or not paid in time .
Examples 1857 War of Independence &Reaction of Sikh Troops in 1984
And there are numerous instances of troops along with their leaders changing sides to go over to British due to inducement of monetary gains
British ensured regular and good pay and perks and status in the society for the Armed Forces. G O I is busy in undoing all this,which has caused and is causing dissatisfaction amongst rank and file both serving and ex servicemen.
