In Letter and Spirit: Artist Angeli Sowani shares the stories of the unsung Indian heroes of World War I through an exhibition
One million and more Indian soldiers were transported in troopships to Europe in September 1914 to fight a war that was not theirs. After that, she turned her gaze to Indian soldiers and started painting them. AdvertisingThe idea of the exhibition came up last year as it marked the centenary of the end of War World I. This came as a huge surprise to many Indians.”Sowani plans to continue painting soldiers and her studies on war. “I’m glad I could bring together stories of unsung heroes of World War I, which would otherwise just be folklore,” she says.
