EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the indomitable spirit of India's involvement in the Great War, as various Indian groups and individuals took up arms alongside the British army during World War I in 1914. The image showcases a diverse array of soldiers, including Gurkha sections, Lancers, and officers from princely states such as Patiala and Bikaner. The Maharajah of Patiala, clad in traditional attire, is seen inspecting his troops with a sense of pride and determination. The Indian contingent played a significant role in the war effort, with over one million soldiers enlisting in the British Indian Army. They served in various capacities, from infantry to artillery, and saw action on multiple fronts, including France, Mesopotamia, and East Africa. Their bravery and valor were acknowledged with numerous awards and decorations, including the Victoria Cross. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history of India's military involvement during World War I. The Indian soldiers, hailing from different regions and backgrounds, fought together for a common cause, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty and commitment to the British Empire. The image also underscores the complex and multifaceted nature of India's relationship with the British during this period, as the country was gradually moving towards independence.
