Haifa Rewrites History, Correcting Story of Liberation

In Haifa, Israel, the city remembers Indian soldiers who freed it from Ottoman rule in World War I. The Mayor of Haifa announced that the city's history books are being updated to show the Indian troops, not the British, as the liberators.

The soldiers used swords and spears in a cavalry charge.

Every year, Haifa commemorates these soldiers with events.

Schools are also teaching this corrected history.

Indian soldiers are honored for their bravery and sacrifice.

Memorials exist in Haifa and other Israeli cities, and the city is creating "The India Trail".
