To the indians who died in south Africa: by T.S.Eliot

The British had colonial interstate on Russia in order to safe guard her interest.the war against Russian called Boer war during this time India was already a colony of Britain and therefore had to fight on behalf of the britishers. This is the reason why Indian soldier goes to Africa with britishers to fight.
A man naturally yearns to be at his home if he working in another country.he keeps on looking forward to returning to hi home. He wishes to sit at his door peacefully enjoying the sunset and watch her grandson playing with neighbour's children in the dust infront of the house. This feeling share of a soldier after the war is over.
the soldier was lucky enough to survive the war through he wore many scar on his body from the Battelle. The memories of the war am his comrades from the another country.who were fighting from their homeland. There remembrance crowd in his psyche whenever he sits and talks apeople irrespective of the climate being cool or warm in his country. It is true that men he met in foreign place were foreigners but they were not aliens in the sense that they shared common purposed of fighting against enemy.
"A man's destination is not destiny".
A soldier may not stay in his country or die there. His fate may take him away to fight a bettle in a far off land.a land which is home to one is exile to another. However the country where the soldier lays down his life. While fighting, turns into his homeland where as the land of his birth become a foreign land for him.

While thinking of the dead Indian soldier.it occurs to poet that Africa where the Indians  and British soldiers came to engage in a battle. Belonged to neither of them  some of the English soldier come from the Midland in England. Some of Indians belonged to the land of the five river but those among them who were killed in war will bury in the same graveyard so far away from their native country.
It is only the soldier who return alive from the war will narrate a great saga of their dead comradders to their brother when they reach home.the sublime sacrifice that they made in foreign land for a common cause, will Kindle the same great spirit in other men in the years to come hopes the poet   we must realize that selfless action never goes without its own rewarded.
