In Remembrance

Having paid our respects at war memorials on the western border, we headed to East India to honour the brave souls who fought for the nation. Dhruv Saxena recounts the journey

Perhaps the most moving lines written about soldiers is the famous epitaph by John Maxwell Edmonds - “When you go home, tell them of us and say for your tomorrow, we gave our today”. These poignant yet powerful words can be found etched in the vicinity of many a war memorial across the globe. The concept of war might be debatable, but what isn’t is that as citizens of the nation it is our duty to honour those brave souls who put it all on the line so the likes of you and I can sleep peacefully at night.

For the second installment of the Great India Drive with the Hyundai Venue, we drove across the breadth of the country to the far reaches of the achingly beautiful north eastern part of India before ending the monumental journey at the grandest war memorial of them all – the National War Memorial in New Delhi.
