People are hating on Kumbha Mela, but I'll defend it. Yeah, the reasons for hatred are valid, but we must appreciate how every 12 years, crores of people gather at a place from far corners. This is a remarkable event that shows that this civilization is truly alive.
More than 100,000 Indians fought for France in 1914. Ten thousand never returned. They set foot on the soil of Marseille before fighting in the mud of the trenches, unaware that they were marching to their deaths.
Their sacrifice binds France and India forever.
