India has said that terrorism has emerged as one of the means of waging war in the contemporary world and is posing a threat of destruction on the earth during two world wars. On the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, India said at the United Nations that global action is necessary to prevent this catastrophe.
Ashish Sharma, the first Secretary of India’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations, said that the completion of 75 years of the end of World War II gives us the opportunity to reaffirm the UN’s purpose and commitment to its fundamental principles. The aim of the United Nations is to save generations to come from the curse of war. He emphasized that terrorism has emerged in the contemporary world as a way of waging war, there is a threat of the same kind of massacre in the world that we saw during both the world wars. Terrorism is a global problem and can be tackled only through efforts being made globally. He appealed to the countries to dedicate themselves to fighting contemporary forms of waging war and ensuring a more peaceful and secure world.
Ashish Sharma said, during the Second World War, the military personnel of the Indian subcontinent participated in the largest number. Even under the colonial rule, 2.5 million Indian soldiers fought from North Africa to Europe in World War II. He said, the Indian Army is the largest volunteer force in history, whose 87,000 soldiers died or went missing and millions were seriously injured.
India said, we also cannot forget the sacrifices of Asiatic, African and Arab brothers who fought and died for the freedom of friendly forces. While saluting the brave people of all countries who fought to save the world, Sharma said that despite the contribution of thousands of volunteers of the colonial world to the war, they were not given due respect and recognition, it is disappointing.
