Among the first foreign forces were Hindus to fight for British on the Western front. In the war, India had hugely supported the British in most areas, these including: Politically, economically and also in military. At a time when majority of Indians were suffering from poverty and malnourishment, they gifted 100 million pounds for them to participate and strengthen the British in war. The support was in exchange also for the British’s understanding in giving India independence, which the British were in no hurry to fulfil.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\"\u003e In total, approximately 1,338, 620 Hindus participated in the war. This number easily totals the number of army force from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa by 178,000. Hindu soldiers were involved in lands as diverse as, Palestine, France, Syria and Mesopotamia. Some historians say that it was the Hindu army which changed the course of the war by turning German soldiers at Marne. Hundreds of Thousands of Hindu soldiers lost their lives and no hero’s welcome awaited the survivors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: large; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\"\u003eIn the first World War, the Indian corps won 13,000 medals and 12 Victoria crosses and this is something that deserves broad recognition around the globe.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: large; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(13, 13, 13);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-size: large; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; background: white; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003eIt was Indian \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: inherit, serif; color: rgb(64, 64, 64); border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;\"\u003ejawans\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; color: rgb(64, 64, 64);\"\u003e (junior soldiers) who stopped the German advance at Ypres in the autumn of 1914, soon after the war broke out, while the British were still recruiting and training their own forces.

It is, however, easy to make a positive case for this sophisticated piece of jewelry. It is, after all, more versatile than any other jewelry item. Brooches can be used the standard way: as an accessory to fashion. But that is by no means their only use. They can also be used on clothing accessories as well as in the hair. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003ePurchase one or more brooches, if they are not readily on hand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eUse the brooch on clothing. Attach a brooch to the high neckline of a blouse, dress or jacket. Use one or more brooches (in a cluster) on the lapel of a suit jacket or place one or more on the shoulder of a jacket or dress. Pin several small brooches over the buttons of a blouse or dress to liven up the clothing or show off a collection. Try using smaller pins as a substitute for cuff links on a blouse by just pinning the brooch over the cuff's button. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eHook a brooch through a “magna pin.” This converts the brooch to a magnetic closure, thereby doing away with the need to stick the pin part of the brooch into fabrics that could otherwise be damaged by the process.
