Make a memorial in London for Indian soldiers that died for Britain in WW1
As many as 74,187 Indian soldiers died during the war and a comparable number were wounded. Their stories, and their heroism, have long been omitted from popular histories of the war, or relegated to the footnotes. There is no monument in London for these forgotten heroes, it is time there is.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Memorial Gates in London commemorate soldiers from Africa, the Caribbean and the five regions of the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) who served in the First and Second World Wars. The memorial was officially inaugurated in 2002 by HM The Queen.
