Information: - Guru Gobind Singh, born Gobind Rai (22 December 1666 7 October 1708), was the 10th Sikh Guru, a spiritual master, warrior, poet and philosopher. When his father, Guru Tegh Bahadur, was beheaded for refusing to convert to Islam, Guru Gobind Singh was formally installed as the leader of the Sikhs at age nine, becoming the last of the living Sikh Gurus. His four sons died during his lifetime in Mughal-Sikh wars two in battle, two executed by the Mughal army. - The Indian Army was the principal army of India before independence from the United Kingdom in 1947. It was responsible for the defence of both British India and the Princely states, which could also have their own armies. The Indian Army was an important part of the British Empire's forces, both in India and abroad, particularly during the First World War and the Second World War. - The Indian Order of Merit (IOM) was a military and civilian decoration of British India. It was established in 1837, (General Order of the Governor-General of India, No. 94 of 1 May 1837) although following the Partition of India in 1947 it was decided to discontinue the award and in 1954 a separate Indian honours system was developed, to act retrospectively to 1947. For a long period of time the IOM was the highest decoration that a native member of the British Indian Army could receive and initially it had three divisions. This was changed in 1911 when Indian servicemen became eligible for the Victoria Cross. A civilian division of the IOM also existed between 1902 and 1939, however, it was only conferred very rarely. - Gurmukh Singh Saini ( IOM , Cr St Geo ) , a Sikh soldier from the village Gadram Badi of Ropar in district Ambala of the province of Punjab in British India , won the Indian Order of Merit 1st Class in World War I for splendid courage on the battlefield on the night of 1 March 1916 . He was also awarded the Cross of St. George , being Imperial Russia 's highest exclusively military award for gallantry in the face of enemy , it held the same value and honor as the British Victoria Cross , US Medal of Honor , or French Legion of Honor ( and would be the equivalent of the Indian Param Vir Chakra ) . The order was awarded to officers and generals for special gallantry , such as , personally leading his troops in rout of a superior enemy force , or capturing a fortress , etc. The Cross of St. George was an extension of the Order of St. George for non-commissioned officers ( NCOs ) , and like it Cross of St. George was awarded in four classes and only for extreme bravery in face of the enemy . - A Sikh (' ) is a follower of Sikhism, a monotheistic religion which originated during the 15th century in the Punjab region of Northwestern Indian subcontinent. The term "Sikh" has its origin in the Sanskrit words ('; disciple, student) or (""; instruction). A Sikh, according to Article I of the "Sikh Rehat Maryada" (the Sikh code of conduct), is "any human being who faithfully believes in One Immortal Being; ten Gurus, from Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh; Guru Granth Sahib; the teachings of the ten Gurus and the baptism bequeathed by the tenth Guru". - The Partition of India was the 1947 partitioning of the British Indian Empire into India and Pakistan. It led to the creation of the sovereign states of the Dominion of Pakistan (which later split into Pakistan and Bangladesh) and the Union of India (later Republic of India) on 1415 August 1947. "Partition" here refers not only to the division of the Bengal province of British India into East Pakistan and West Bengal (India), and the similar partition of the Punjab Province into West Punjab (West Pakistan) and East Punjab (now Punjab), but also to the respective divisions of other assets, including the British Indian Army, the Indian Civil Service and other administrative services, the railways, and the central treasury. Given the paragraphs above, decide what entity has the relation 'military branch' with 'british indian army'.
