![INDIA GATE
• The India Gate (formerly known as the All India War Memorial) is a war
memorial located near the Kartavya path on the eastern edge of the
"ceremonial axis" of New Delhi, formerly called duty path. It stands as a
memorial to 84,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who died between
1914 and 1921 in the First World WaR
in France, Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli and
elsewhere in the Near and the Far East, and the Third Anglo-Afghan War.
13,300 servicemen's names, including some soldiers and officers from the
United Kingdom, are inscribed on the gate.[2] Designed by Sir Edwin
Lutyens, the gate evokes the architectural style of the memorial arch such
as the Arch of Constantine, in Rome, and is often compared to the Arc de
Triomphe in Paris, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai.
