China: 'Ye Game of Hide and Sikh'. A cartoon from 'The Rattle', Shanghai,1896.

In a clear case of 'divide and conquer' the British famously - infamously from a Chinese perspective - used Sikh policeman to control - and often brutalise - Chinese citizens of their Far Eastern colonial settlements. The result was that Sikhs became associated with aggression and violence in the Chinese world view. This cartoon by 'H.H.' nicely sums up the colonialist and frankly racist colonial British values of the time.
