The projections spread far and wide on social media and were seen by over a million people online. Dr Blighty[4] threw a spotlight on the Indians[5] who travelled across the world to fight for the Allies during the First World War. More than one million men travelled from India to fight in the Great War, and the collective experiences of these volunteer forces constitute one of the great untold stories in military history. The event successfully brought to life the experiences of the injured Indian soldiers sent to recuperate in Brighton and the locals who came to know and care for them. Chhabra is a board member of The Independent Street Arts Network (ISAN)[6] and a member of the Mayor of London Cultural Leadership Board.[7] FilmographyFilm
