This picture of 1915 was the execution of the 5th Native Infantry soldiers who rebelled in Singapore and were executed by the British. The leaders were three Muslims, while their followers were three Hindus and seven Sikhs, who all belonged to Lahore. A bit of history might awake our conscience so we remember that our freedom was never communal.
