Amid the recent Hamas attack on Israel, the historic contribution of Indian soldiers during World War I has come to light. Over a century ago, these soldiers played a crucial role in liberating Jerusalem for the British, defeating the Ottoman Empire. Engaging in pivotal battles across Palestine, their bravery paved the way for victory. As Hamas targeted the region, India's connection to Jerusalem's past resonates, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar unveiling a plaque in their honor two years ago. The valor and sacrifice of these troops stand as a testament to India's historical role in the global landscape. [ photo courtesy: facebook post of Harjinder singh kukreja ]
