When the world commemorated the 50th anniversary of WWI in 1964, there was scarcely a mention of India’s contribution anywhere, least of all in India. The India Gate in New Delhi, built in 1931, is visited by hundreds daily who have no idea that it commemorates the Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting in WWI.
因此印度民族主义者对这些士兵的英勇行为被人遗忘坐视不管。当1965年世界纪念一战50周年之际，无论哪个国家（尤其是印度）都没有人提到印度士兵的贡献。1931年在新德里落成的印度门每天吸引数百人前来参观，但参观者却很少有人知道该景观是为纪念一战中牺牲的印度士兵而建。
