Duniya ka sabse bada yudh smarak hai India mein, jo ki India Gate ke naam se jaana jaata hai. India Gate, New Delhi ke central location par sthit hai, aur yeh ek pramukh war memorial hai jo Bharat ke soldiers ko samarpit hai, jo pehli aur doosri duniya yudh mein shaheed hue the.
India Gate ka nirmaan 1931 mein British Empire ke dwara kiya gaya tha. Yeh smarak un logon ke liye banaya gaya tha jo 1914 se 1921 tak ke pehle vishw yudh mein shaheed hue the. Iska design Sir Edwin Lutyens ne kiya tha, jo ek prasiddh British architect the. India Gate ki unchaai lagbhag 42 meter hai aur iske neeche ek eternal flame bhi jalti rehti hai, jise Amar Jawan Jyoti kaha jaata hai. Yeh jyoti un shaheed jawano ki yaad mein hai, jo apni jaan desh ke liye kurbaan kar gaye the.
Yeh smarak har saal kayi prakar ke events aur ceremonies ka kendra bhi hota hai, jisme Republic Day parade sabse zyada prasiddh hai. Republic Day ke din yeh smarak ek alag hi rang mein chamakta hai, jab desh ke pradhan mantri aur rashtrapati yahan pehli baar jaakar phoolon ki mala chadhaate hain aur apne veer jawano ko shraddhanjali dete hain.
India Gate ke paas hi National War Memorial bhi hai, jo ki ek aur naya aur advanced war memorial hai, jise 2019 mein inaugurate kiya gaya tha. Yeh war memorial puri tarah se shaheed jawano ko samarpit hai, aur yeh unhe shraddhanjali dene ka ek aur mahatvapurn kendra ban gaya hai.
Agar aap kabhi bhi New Delhi ghoomne ka plan bana rahe hain, toh India Gate ko zaroor dekhein. Yeh na sirf ek historical smarak hai, balki yeh desh ki shaheed jawano ki veerta aur balidan ko hamesha yaad dilata hai.
