India's Role in the Korean War | Flashback with Palki Sharma 

Greetings from a South Korean in South Korea. I never knew this role of India in the Korean war. I would like to say I tremendously appreciate the great help and effort made by India to bring peace to the Korean peninsula, and I would also like to praise the gigantic success of the India's plan and practice with regard to the treatment of the PoWs in a war that would just never end. Overall, and geopolitically, I think this story tells us the importance of the India's position in the international community as a crucial balancing power. As India is growing exponentially in the economic area, we can expect far more and bigger roles that India will play in the world, and we look forward to it. Thank you, India. Love, from South Korea.

In Germany we learn nothing like this in school. We only learn how the good Americans save us from Hitler.

"Enter the United States. They did what they do best. They 'intervened'." Palki is so savage 😂 I love her!

This was a history lesson. I knew nothing about India's role in the Korean war. Thanks for enlightening.

I live in Canada and have a few Korean friends.Even they (including me) had never heard of India's contribution as a peace Keeper in the Korean war. I have know some very old Canadian Korean War veterans and no body ever mentioned anything about India's great effort to help defuse the situation and the humanitarian work of the medical core. I am equally surprised that any of the current or the past governments of India have made any effort to bring it into the history books, taught in the schools. Its a shame. Thank you Palki Ji for bringing this to lime light. As usual, you have done a great job.

Thank you Palki! You and your team made Indians truly proud!

Wtf nobody told this story to us in India. Not in our syllabus too. They glorify barbarians moghuls only. Goosebumps. Jai Hind.

9:50 "India's neutrality isn't just a self- serving policy, it can be a tool for peacemaking" ❤❤

I came to know this story by a Korean RU-vidr, it wasn't in detail, I guess there is a memorial or statute thanking the Indian soldiers. Thanks😊 Palki for sharing this story, I wish it could reach maximum people mostly in west

Great story telling of India's role in Korean War as it happened.

These should be taught in school history....

These are the story that have been kept and outshine by some western double standard wanna be hero. It's great to know this.

India. The peace keepers of the world❤

No educational bodies of our country teach these in our schools. Infact these instances are what make our children understand how big of a nation is our India . And won't dream of migrating to some small European nations! Jai hind!

Thank you Palki for a piece of history I didn’t knew

We, as Indians, need to recall our own history. Not in fantastical ways in which politicians often do, but with actual education and knowledge. I am really glad to see Palki taking up the mantle to present these stories in this format. I wish this show nothing but tremendous success!

Great contributions from Bharat to the World. Based on the principles from our culture: Om Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah, Sarve Santu Nir-Aamayaah | Sarve Bhadraanni Pashyantu, Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | Means: May everyone be happy, may everyone be free from all diseases may everyone see goodness and auspiciousness in everything, may none be unhappy or distressed.

More stories like these, please! I feel so proud and also gain an insight into where does the sense of responsibility quiet dignity and perseverance come from. Believe me, that generation of people was not only serious, down to earth, focused, and dedicated. I wish our kids were as committed and serious as them. When I read and hear about them I feel deep respect and pride - people like Gentleman Spymaster: R.N.Kao, Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw: Soldiering with Dignity: Soldiering with Dignity, Lt Gen KJS 'Tiny' Dhillon, etc., are the reason we sleep peacefully. The Chapatti story too was very nice - I hadn't heard it before.

OMG...This country of mine never ceases to amaze me❤ What a civilisation!!!!! Thanks Palki for throwing light on this

I live in S. Korea. when I am in happier moment is listening to the fact, rigfht now I am very happy, thanks! Palki Sharma! great! Thumbs up

A nicely researched and well presented article Never knew India's role in Korea You made Indians proud 👍🏼

A lot of people are saying this should be taught in schools. This made me aware that we never learn about nations 'trying' to achieve a better world, in the current temporal context. We mostly learn about nations achieving what they thought was a better world, and how that ends up screwing the whole world later on.

I never knew about this peace making gesture of Bharat, way back in 1953. We as Sanatan nation have believed in maintaining peace everywhere. Even so our mantras & hymns too end in Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti (Let only peace prevail).

This should be taught in schools.😊 Love you palki

Wow, I am getting goosebumps with joy and pride. What a wonderful job India 🇮🇳 did. Thank you so much for bringing the unique and forgotten huge contribution of India towards the world. Lots of love and blessings from abroad

Always Proud of Indian Diplomacy! ❤🇮🇳

Every time I read about the valour and courage shown by the 60th Parachute Field Ambulance unit of the Indian military, it gives me goosebumps. This tale should be taught in schools in India. Sending Paratroopers in the midst of an ongoing battle is like going on a suicide machine. Each party would think you are on the enemy side. Salute to our Bravehearts.

As a K- culture enthusiast, i only knew about India's medical aid to Korean soldiers. Thank u Palki for the detailed explanation. I'll look forward for more such underrated topics regarding history!

India is a country which is a mother of democracy and diplomacy... We have produced a Guru like Chanakya ❤ if India could help in ending Russia - Ukraine war ... Whole world would be really grateful to India...😊 Fun fact P.m Modi also met Zelensky yesterday and assured him for India ' s help .... We believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbkum... Whole world is one family... May God bless this great nation 🇮🇳 ❤May God bless this world 😊❤

"Cold" War was called so because there were no wars in Europe, where both camps (under USA & USSR) across the middle of Germany (between East & Federal West Germany) were armed to teeth. When one after the other, countries got independence from the Imperial rule of eight West European countries (& Korea from Japanese imperial occupation), there was civil-war like conditions on the independence day in each of them. It was because the two military camps (of USA or USSR) influenced the new independent regime to join their side. Korean War was the starter, with many more to follow. War in (DR) Congo was the bloodiest, till the Indian representative Rajeshwar Dayal, issued shoot-to-kill orders to our troops that brought the seceding Katanga, back to Congo Rep. Vietnam war was the longest lasting, culminating in American defeat. All these independence-linked domestic wars cost many lives & maimed many - perhaps more than in WW II. The Cold war that ran concurrently with this UN de-colonisation drive, fed on it. That culminated in American victory, handed on a platter by Michael Gorbachev, the gentleman amongst the Cold Warriors. Korean war was the only war (first & last) that was fought under UN flag, when USA coaxed UN to intervene as a non-member, PRC attacked a member state. The chief proponent though was USA, under Field Marshal Douglas MacArthur. Unable to stem the tide of Chinese human waves, he vowed to nuke PRC & was summarily removed from command & sent home by President Harry Truman. None recalls India's contribution to bring peace to Korean peninsula now, that spurred South Korea to become leading export-driven Asian Economy. For her labours, India deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, if not a permanent seat in UN SC.

That's an incredible sharing of a young Independent nation and puts many accomplished nations to shame - not all can walk the talk.

A round of applause for Palki! Man, she's good!

there are many untold important bits of history that are strategically suppressed. thank you for sharing

...and it will be in history ," how India tried not let the Russian/Ukraine war started.❤India

Most Westerners have never heard of this major act by India. Thank you for bringing this unique example of Indian Exceptionalism to light. Bravo India.

Our history books need a SERIOUS re writing.... nice information ... thanks. Jai Hind.

Palki rocks, i loved this report so much, palki sharma is epitome of journalism❤❤🎉🎉

Though being a history student, Palki and her team always comes up with a flashback story I never heard of. Great job guys! #palkisharma #firstpost

How can our history textbooks miss these types of important events?.....🤦🤦

India and Indians, this is who we are. We are peace lovers.

I agree with you. Good job India did for Korea and Asia. I am thankful for that.

Thanks to the Flashbacks, I get to learn something new and interesting every weekend. Never India had any presence in Korea. None of this was ever taught in history during schooling besides glorifying Indian invaders. Thank you.

This is the one of the great episode of Flashback. Thank you for telling the history of India.

Well, let me start from the trending kpop and kmovies from which I started to take interest in korean history. In the movie "Ode to my Father "(it's an amazing one), there a small scene that shows the Korean people criticising Indians telling that these idiots came for job in our country because their nation wasn't good enough to support them. Later, the protagonist of the movie tries to correct them for their ignorance. Protagonist appeared as it was just a movie and I know it for sure that in real life no one would speak for us. I always wondered what could I say if I'm the one to be in such a situation. Thankyou, even if I don't argue and try to convince them, I have got an answer for myself... ❤️

Palki once again thanking you and your team…millions of Indian lives have been sacrificed during invasion and during British Invasion and the wars….I wonder how many millions?

Very informative thank you Palki your Channel has been a part of my daily routine learning more about history and News all over the globe namaste.

This is a reminder on indias role that is forgotten but it has to be brought out again and the world has to see what india has done for this world.

I always enjoy Palki Sharma's stories. Not just because I'm a student of the Social Sciences but also because of how she adds humour in just the right places.

Thank you for sharing this hidden gem 💎 of Indian diplomatic success story🙏

The motto Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is a family, my family) itself means that there cannot be sides, only some grievances between 2 minds/nations/etc. It is in true understanding of this motto that Bharat tries to address the grievances rather than take sides and display force capabilities. The world needs to learn a thing or two from the last living civilisation in the planet. Jayatu Bharatam ! A true Viswaguru !

This alone should have put India in the security council of the UN.

Palki “you truly are a Godless Saraswat” teaching the world the work and art of India, love from USA

I am blown as I am listening to Palki💖 I wish these stories are complied in a book. Given out as textbooks to read. These things makes studying much more connected and interesting to read.

None of this is mentioned in either the oxford or cambridge history syllabus, never mind the Indian high school history textbooks.

Keep up the good work. Not many Indian media showcase India's contribution to the world like you do.

Wow,, Thank you Palki for sharing this. You see, This is why your the best news reader 👍👍👍👍👍 The power in your voice is outstanding 👏👏👏👏👏👏 Keep it up 👍

Palki is my favorite international reporter. ❤❤

We are the proud Kodava clans of Thimmaiahs . Thanks Palki . Many had forgotten about it.

I know very well about The 60th Parachute Field Ambulance led by Lieutenant Colonel AG Rangaraj. They arrived in Korea in November 1950 with about 300 men and moved out from Korea only aſter the CFI had completed its mission. 09:12 Some generations of Koreans are in & around Chennai. They speak Hindi, Tamil / Kannada, english & Korean. Like Indians, they too have become multilingual. They eat Indian food outside & Korean food at home.

How could our history books miss this part of history.

Thanks palki ji for letting us know and making us proud ..Always india is global peace leader ....jai shreeram 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Thanks a lot Palki, for this was not known despite being interested and having studied military history.

We have been tought more about the west greatness and there achievements but indias role in its own textbooks is nowhere to be found well thanks this segment a hidden soil golden fragment of our history is shining again

why did I not now about this? like this is really really amazing why was this not taught in school? we are mostly taught about the west. Hope they change and teach more about my country India.

Great Story of Young Indias Great Diplomatic Success... India should have taken more roles like this even with it's adversaries like Pakistan China... Let's put our hope on Diplomacy...

Neharu had no time for Hindus migrating to India from Pakistan, leaving all of the belongings over there, sometimes even their own children or siblings. But he had enough time for Koreans! What a gesture 😢

We qere not told?the whole truth about our History, this was one small truth. I would love to hear more. Thank you and God bless you all.

This is what India was,is and will be ..proud to be indian😊

History never remembers the peace✌🕊 makers. That's why everybody wants to be immortal🛡🏹 through war.

Palki ji thanks for revealing the truth.

This Channel is better than the entire NCERT history syllabus !

Great Roul Played By India 👍

With countries trying to change history lessons, it becomes much more important to preserve the actual history. If we don't do that, a lot of facts will become stories and stories can be forgotten. Also with history changing, people will be less equipped to make informed decisions. Let history be history.

Fantastic documentary, excellent research

Love the way Pallki narrates the story. Wish we had RU-vid in the days we studied for history exam. Great subject and narration!

I'm so proud 😀... My Dad was one of the Indian Army Officers on this mission 🇮🇳

I've just returned from South Korea. It's like living in the brightest future. Compared to the North, where it's like living in a terrible past.

India's a Precious and Peaceful 🇮🇳 👏👏!! . Palki s an outstanding person 👍

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story. It’s heartwarming to hear India’s role. Hope we could do something to end the Ukraine situation

Great well-researched article... Thank you Palki for your efforts.

It's really a good attempt to bring forward the past. In today's turmoil times especially lessons from past needs to be learned.

I did know this part of the Indian History. One new thing learned for the day, thanks to the beautiful Phalki

As an American I hope India can help negotiate a peace in Ukraine. My government wants no part of peace!

Why is this not taught in school? Diplomacy, conflict resolution. ❤myIndia

Its always a privilege of ours to watch your superbly informative videos,, truly your channel indeed is the 4th pillar of democracy.

Tnanks you Palki you're a great asset to our life

So Touched, So Proud

Slow clap to china Statement 😂 5:31

Brilliant! I never knew about it. None of our text books or history books told us this story. Thank you Palki Sharma Upadhyaya! Powerful presentation!

Thank you very much. Fantastic represntation and proud moment for all Indians !!!

Well presented Palki. You are telling the truth and I like to hear only the truth.

You mentioned young democracy, it is not. India has been a democratic country for thousands of years. You could have said, young independent India.

Great respect to those brave and successful Indians 🇺🇲👍🇮🇳

Best way to explore historical events.. I am proud to be part of palki sharma family 🎉

Thank You Palki ji for this history lesson, I had no Idea about this.

Why this EPIC contribution of INDIA should not be Documented and Spreaded to the rest of the World and for future generations ??? Anyone give me one good reason.... Even being a Proud Indian..i was unaware of the fact...My heartfelt gratitude to Team Firstpost and Palki didi flor such a brilliant presentation... Also I hereby request Govt of India to Document such unknown but Historic Contributions of India towards world peace and give the opportunity to the world to know and learn from it. Jayatu Bharati Vandematram 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful story. Thanks Palki for a nice flash back❤

The world has to suffer perpetually for these 3 countries USA,Russia & now China until a saviour Nation called India dont come to rescue. #VishwaGuruIndia #VandeMataram #JayHind #Ex-Muslim Sahira

Great insight India works quietly CCP China trumpets loudly As usual it's Palki's Punch lines that cuts it thru Cheers 🥂

👍👍👍👌👌👌🙏🙏🙏 As always you do the best and fantastic work. This was unknown to me and I learned about the roll played by the Indian Army, Statesman and Govt and feel very proud of Bharat Maataa. Keep the good work going and I am looking forward to the next episode. May God help, protect and guide you. 🙏🙏🙏
