India's #NationalWarMemorial look at this journey.
Around #1960s armed forces first proposed a War Memorial. But Nothing Happened. @narendramodi @vikramsampath @sanjeevsanyal @anujdhar @seriousfunnyguy @ARanganathan72 @Rajeev_GoI

In 1972 #AmarJawanJyoti was buit 'under' India gate's arch to honour only 1971's war soldiers. But No #NationalWarMemorial
In 2006 there was plan to bulit #NationalWarMemorial but it was cancelled. Reason for that 'as
Heritage Committee said' was
"the wall would obstruct the view of India Gate."

The flame of #AmarJawanJyoti is not being extinguished. It is being merged with flame at #NationalWarMemorial. It was an odd thing to see that the flame at Amar Jawan Jyoti payed homage to martyrs of 1971 & other wars but none of their names are present there: GoI Sources
The names inscribed on the India Gate are of only some martyrs who fought for the British in the World War 1 & the Anglo Afghan War & thus is a symbol of our colonial past: GoI Sources
The names of all Indian martyrs from all the wars, including 1971 & wars before & after it are housed at the National War Memorial. Hence it is a true 'Shraddhanjali' to have the flame paying tribute to martyrs there: GoI Sources
#LIVE: PM @narendramodi pays homage to martyrs by placing a wreath at the #AmarJawanJyoti. He is accompanied by Home Minister Rajnath Singh and all service chiefs.
