⚡ BIG: Indian soldiers, not British, freed us from Ottoman rule; Israel to revise school textbooks:

The mayor of the city of Haifa has announced that Israeli school history textbooks will be updated to reflect the fact that the Indian soldiers, not the British, was responsible for the city's liberation from Ottoman rule in 1918.

“I was born in this city and graduated from here. Constantly, we were told that this city was freed by the British till somebody from the Historical Society knocked at my door one day and said that they had done thorough research and found that it wasn’t the British. Still, the Indians who freed this city (from the Ottomans),” said Mayor of Haifa, Yona Yahav.

He made these remarks while speaking to an audience at the Indian cemetery of fallen soldiers at a ceremony honouring their valour.

“In every school, we are changing the texts and saying that it wasn’t the British but the Indians who liberated us,” Yahav said.

In what most war historians refer to as "the last great cavalry campaign in history," Indian cavalry battalions equipped with spears and swords drove Ottoman forces from the rocky slopes of Mount Carmel during World War I in order to liberate the city, he said
