  I've thought for many years that the Indian contribution to both World Wars has been somewhat swept under the carpet. It's about time they got more recognition.

  to know that after such a contribution from Punjab for the war efforts and that "Jallianwallah Bagh" happened in the heart of Punjab immediately after the war speaks a lot about the colonial powers of that day.

  Hello. Long time watcher from India. I would like to thank you for your commitment towards showing uncoloured and unbiased history and highlighting the role of India in distant wars and its impact on Indian consciousness and freedom movement. In the present age of polarisation and misinformation, its hard to find fact and evidence based history

  God bless India. They gave us so much and we treated them so poorly.

  I am surprised that a British Channel accepting India's contribution! 74,000 Indian soldiers martyred in 1st WW, 87,000 martyred in 2nd WW. And those were not even our wars!

  While the Indian contribution is criminally neglected, &nbsp;I&apos;ve never seen any mention about the contribution that the Chinese labour battalions made. <br>Like many I knew nothing about them, until I visited the &nbsp;Ayette, Indian and Chinese cemetery,near Arras.

  Thank you for this video. Sad that, as a Brit, this is the first time hearing of the extent of the Indian troops&apos; bravery and sacrifice. &nbsp;Would be good to have more detailed videos on there various campaigns they supported
