India Gate was built in memory of the 70,000 Indian soldiers who laid down their lives in World War I, fighting for the British Army. The names of all the soldiers who died during the World War I are inscribed on the walls of the Gate. Construction work took ten years, from 1921 to 1931. It is often compared to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
