The Great War and India Thousands of soldiers from India`s interior (I.5 million) were sent to fight in the Great War Many of them died and were maimed just so Britain could keep its hegemony. When books were written, and history told somehow the Indian soldiers were mysteriously forgotten erased out, until now. But disquiet lingered India became restless they served the British grudgingly formed a political party but the Brits arrested, tortured the leaders and threw them into jail, but the idea once fomented didn`t die and 1947 It became a reality, India was free.
