Indian Army : Indian Army's memorial to be built in Scotland

Indian army is respected all over the world. Indian Army memorial is going to be built in Scotland. A UK city council has approved plans to build a memorial in Scotland to recognize the service and sacrifice of over four million Indian soldiers in the British Army. The Glasgow Times reported that plans for the memorial, to come near the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow, had been submitted by Colored Heritage.

Glasgow City Council approved the plan subject to conditions, including full details of the design and materials of the stone carvings. According to the paper, material samples for the pavilion and surrounding blocks have also been submitted for approval.

The upcoming structure will have a 'chhatri' (dome) design for the roof and Locharbriggs sandstone pillars, matching the Kelvingrove architecture. The pillars would be carved to form South Asian designs, and cherry trees would be planted along with benches for people to sit and reflect. The memorial will represent the diversity of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Gurkhas who fought alongside British soldiers during World War I and II.
