I remember when this happened. We'll soon see the extent of the UK involvement.

The BBC has this story up, essentially denying any extensive UK involvement:

I must say that I fail to see what will be gained by releasing this report now. After the British left India, things were in a state of chaos for many years. Whether or not it was the right thing to do, the attack on the rebel Sikhs was intended to help hold the country from falling into little pieces.

I must say, I think that Cameron may be the single worst PM the UK has had for many years, and that includes a couple of pretty bad ones. He will be remembered for imposing gay marriage on the country, I expect.

I agree with the commenters... big deal. This is like saying LBJ had full knowledge of the Cambodian massacres and that the US had intelligence officers on the ground advising. There is only so much an outsider can do. It would be different if British soldiers were actively involved in the staging and logistics.
