The Coolie's Great War: Tales of unacknowledged war heroes- The New Indian Express

Express News Service
Two decades after her last book on crime and justice in early colonial India, Radhika Singha is back with a second book on the Indian Army coolies whose services in the World War 1 remain unacknowledged.
Titled The Coolie’s Great War, the book has been published by Harper Collins. Singha, who is the professor of Modern Indian History at Jawaharlal Nehru University, tells us how it was a paper on Indian non-combatants during World War I that culminated into this book.
Why and how did you choose this subject for your book?
It was 2004, and protests had erupted against proposals to send an Indian contingent in support of the American occupation of Iraq. This was what sent me to the National Archives Delhi to look up the story of the Indian Expeditionary Force sent to Ottoman Iraq (Mesopotamia) in World War I. I discovered that of the 6,75,391 Indian personnel sent here at the behest of British Empire, over half (3,48,735) were in fact non-combatants or ‘followers’.

The war was about liberation over occupation. Pakistan had occupied it (Bangladesh) and we liberated it. We did not stay beyond 90 days.—

Each officer narrated how crossing the Meghna (December 9-15, 1971) was done while the Indian Army approached to encircle Dhaka (then Dacca) from the eastern flank. Interspersed with some thrilling anecdotes of the war and the conduct of 4 Corps Commander Lt Gen Sagat Singh, the session was moderated by Squadron Leader Rana TS Chinna, who is part of the Centre for Armed Forces Historical Research.
