SINCE assuming office in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set a precedent in paying tribute to Indian soldiers who laid down their lives during the World War I and II, particularly those who died on foreign soil.
Through these acts of remembrance, Modi has emerged as a staunch advocate for honouring the brave soldiers, many of whose sacrifices had been forgotten over time, as they fell in distant lands while defending freedom and peace.
During his visit to Australia in 2014, the PM paid homage to the bravehearts at the War Memorial in Canberra. He presented Man Singh Trophy, a cherished symbol of the Sikh Regiment battalions, to his Australian counterpart Tony Abbott.
