Something we had churn out in 3 days for a client recently - to commemorate 75 years of the Battle of Kohima. This battle has always intrigued me and I am grateful to have made something small to start the journey , hopefully to making something significant someday . #battleofkohima #battle #british #indians #japanese #war #worldwar #producing #producer #filmmaking https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_dV21HVaC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jafso1wu3ck6

The stone memorial of the Kohima epitaph reads;

"When you go home tell them of us and say for your tomorrow we gave our today"

I was dumbfounded reading those lines... who were these people? why did they give their lives for ours? What did they fight for? Was it victorious dying? Why do wars have to be?

One thing was for sure though. A civilian wouldn't know the first thing about being a soldier...

We came by the Kohima War Cemetery once when on an errand in the capital. Hey! Frankly, didn't think much of this memorial at first, didn't bother much either. But we took our time this day and went through almost every burial epitaphs as we could. There are 1,420 Commonwealth burials of the 2nd World War with 917 Hindu and Sikhs cremated in accordance with their faith at the highest point of the cemetery.

Almost all the soldiers as we read on were too young to have died. They were between the age of 18-24! Who would sacrifice their lives at the prime stage of youthfulness. Could we dare say, if they were alive, maybe greater things would have been achieved? We found ourselves growing weak in the belly reading on. Later, with great respect we carried our heavy hearts back down past the entrance...

And we're sharing what we encountered that day. Their deaths haven't been in vain. And if they had to say something more, it would have been to oppose any sorts of war and destruction...

Peace and love!
