Journal    a153(632), Apr-Jun, 2023: p.203-210  aOver 1.4 million Indian solders joined by Indian Army during world war I. hey were deployed at various war fronts including France, Mesopotamia, East, Africa, Egypt. Palestine, and Gallipoli. Despite their important role, the stores of these soldiers remained almost unstudied until the tum of the century. The fact remained that the Indian soldiers were generally not literate enough to record their experiences. Colonial rules also kept them as extras on the ‘stage’ of the historical narrative. During the centenary commemoration of the war (2014-2018), some studies about Indian participation have been conducted leading to some good publications. This paper was also part of one such study. The paper seeks to study the voices of Indian soldiers recorded during their internment at a POW camp in Germany during world war I. these voices were recorded between 1915 and 1918 by researchers of ‘Royal Prussian phonographic commission’ with an aim to study different languages for phonetics, dialects, and injustices purposes. – Reproduced    aU.S.I.
