Anzac Day, marked on 25 April, honours the Anzacs’ first major war in 1915 during World War I. While the sacrifices of Australian and New Zealand soldiers are well known, the story of the nearly 16,000 Indian troops who also fought at Gallipoli—1,600 of whom lost their lives—remained largely overlooked until recent years. In this podcast, historian Professor Peter Stanley calls on the Indian diaspora to help give these forgotten soldiers the recognition they deserve. He believes honouring their contribution can deepen the understanding of the shared history between India and Australia.
