The Israeli city of Haifa is officially revising its school curriculum to give credit where it's due: to Indian soldiers, not the British, for the city's liberation from Ottoman rule during World War I. Mayor Yona Yahav announced the change, noting, "In every school, we are changing the texts and saying that it wasn't the British but the Indians who liberated us." This crucial historical correction recognizes the valor of Indian cavalry regiments, which executed a daring charge on September 23, 1918, a date the Indian Army still observes in memory of the pivotal battle that freed Haifa.

This is a historic step of great honor! 🏇 Recognizing the contribution of Indian soldiers in the liberation of Haifa is to correct the true story of courage. It is important that history is fair and truthful.

Indian soldiers showed exceptional courage on September 23, 1918, and their contribution deserves official recognition. 📚 This curriculum change is a lesson to the world about valuing the efforts of all.

We should develop a spirit of recognizing and respecting the history of different nations. 🌍 This builds solidarity and mutual respect. Congratulations Haifa for this wise decision! 🙌

It's great when history is corrected.
Unlike in America, where our president tries to erase the history.
