The British had promised India would get independence if Indians got conscripted in the war. The number of Indians who participated in the war was immense as a result, with even Mahatma Gandhi encouraging everyone to get conscripted. And when the war was over, the British gave India a masterpiece: A gate in New Delhi with the names of all the soldiers martyred on it.

It's the soldiers who lost the most. My heart goes out to them.
