India liberated Haifa

Haifa city of Israel is the third largest city there. It is a center of world trade because a large part of the trade between Europe and Asia is completed through this port. When we turn the pages of history, we come to know that the work of liberating this city of Israel was done by the brave soldiers of India.

It is about the First World War. At that time India was a part of the British Raj. At that time, India was ruled by the British along with the local princely states. At that time there was a treaty between the local princely states and the British government. One provision in this treaty was that the British government got to use a part of the army of the Indian rulers in its wars.

A war was also fought for the independence of Haifa during the First World War. On 23 September 1918, the Ottoman Empire ended over the city of Haifa and the British flag was hoisted there. Later, around the time of India’s independence in 1948, the British also left this city. But Indian soldiers made a big contribution in liberating this city.

Connection to Jodhpur, Hyderabad and Patiala

To liberate Haifa, a brigade of soldiers from the princely states of India was formed. One of these was the ’15th (Imperial Service) Cavalry Brigade, which reached Egypt through the Suez Canal at that time. There she became a part of the British Empire’s army and this contingent fought the ‘Battle of Haifa’. Soldiers from many princely states of India went to this brigade. In this, most of the soldiers were from Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Patiala and Mysore, while some soldiers were also from Kashmir and Kathiawar.

About 84 soldiers of this brigade lost their lives in World War-1, while more than 120 soldiers were injured. Even today, the Indian Army celebrates ‘Haifa Day’ in honor of these soldiers. Not only this, a ‘War Memorial’ has also been built for this brigade near Teen Murti Bhawan in Delhi. Because of this war memorial, it was named ‘Teen Murti’, whose name was changed to ‘Teen Murti Haifa Chowk’ in 2018. The statues of three soldiers installed in this war memorial are of soldiers from Jodhpur, Hyderabad and Mysore.
