The First World War saw 1.5 million volunteers from India rallying under the British flag and fighting for their lives in the trenches.
Less than six months later, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre saw hundreds of innocent men, women, and children killed.
The end of the war did not bring respite from conflict and all those who had fought returned to a different India.
From the Empire Exhibition at Wembley to the growing spirit of nationalism among young Indians in Britain, in this talk Shrabani Basu looks at how the 1920s laid the foundation for the turbulence and tension that lay ahead within the British Empire.
