The National War Memorial, sits in the heart of India's National capital opposite the India gate in central Delhi. A quick search across platforms will lead you to multiple videos on the National War Memorial, but not a single one serves as a descriptive introduction, with all details about the war memorial expressed in one single video.
In order to fill the same void, three students from Sanskriti School, New Delhi, decided to film a documentary on the National War Memorial as a part of their grade 11 history project. Through their journey of crafting this documentary, it occurred to them that this project was much more than a mere school activity for them, it went beyond grades, it went into a feeling of passion.
These 3 passionate students, upload this documentary today, for the world to see in a hope that even those who cannot visit the monument, understand what it holds.
