Eighty one years after the end of WWII Indian Sikhs commemorated the sacrifice of theirs forebears who fought and died as part of the Eighth Indian Division that fought side by side with Scottish Highlanders troops to defeat N**i and Italian Fascist tyranny in the northern Apennine Mountains. The Indian Sikhs were part of a 50,000 Indian Army that also included soldiers from what is today Pakistan and Bangladesh. More than 5,000 Indian soldiers were killed fighting in Italy. The story of the Sikhs and their fellow soldiers from the sub-Asian continent is one that gets little or no recognition in most WWII history books. It also has been ignored in Indian history books because it happened before the country broke the colonial reins of the United Kingdom and became independent. Today more than 200,000 Sikhs, almost of whom immigrated to Italy starting in the 1990s but knew nothing of their forebears WWII sacrifice, play a key role in the agriculture, service and manufacturing sector of the Italian economy.

The Sikh ceremonies took place simultaneous to June 2 celebrations when Italians celebrated the 80th anniversary of a referendum that ended the Italian monarchy and established the Republic of Italy one year after the end of WWII.
