A FLAG FLEW AT MOIRANG

On April 14 1944 the Indian tri-colour was hoisted for the first time on liberated Indian soil at Moirang by the INA, beating back the Allied Forces with the help of the Japanese Army.

On the 75th anniversary of this momentous event, AIR had travelled to the remote outpost to highlight this forgotten chapter in world military history played out on this tiny sliver of land. To tell a story that time forgot... of a little-celebrated victory - a tale of blood, sweat and valour, of ideas, ideals and dreams - that knits India’s North-east to a world tapestry.

It may be mentioned that the Battle of Imphal & Kohima was chosen as Britain’s greatest battle in a poll conducted by Britain’s National Army Museum in 2013.

The documentary was first broadcast on 26 April 2019.
