Scotland to honour Indian soldiers with this new British Indian Army Memorial 

Scotland to honour British Indian Army soldiers with special memorial

Glasgow City Council cleared the planning application recently, subject to conditions, paving the way for finalising the designs for the memorial to be built near Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

A new British Indian Army Memorial, commemorating the sacrifice of millions of Indian soldiers who fought alongside the British during the two World Wars, is to be built in the Scottish city of Glasgow after the local council approved the plans.
Glasgow City Council cleared the planning application recently, subject to conditions, paving the way for finalising the designs for the memorial to be built near Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The memorial initiative is being led by the Colourful Heritage multimedia project, which celebrates the history of Scotland's South Asian community, and is visualised as Scotland&rsquo;s first permanent memorial wall to recognise the service and sacrifice of over 4 million soldiers of the British Indian Army.

&ldquo;We aim for the memorial to represent the diversity of all the Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Gurkhas and more who fought alongside British troops in World War I and II,&rdquo; notes Colourful Heritage with reference to the memorial.
It is intended to honour the special link between Scotland and Force K6, an all-Muslim Punjabi regiment that escaped from Dunkirk during World War II, and made its way to Scotland.
It also aims to represent the key values of "selfless commitment and respect for others" that was epitomised by local campaigner Isobel Harling, who was honoured with the British Empire Medal (BEM) for tirelessly looking after the Force K6 graves in Kingussie in the Scottish Highlands for more than 70 years.
Colourful Heritage, which collates first-hand accounts of early South Asian migrants to Scotland, held several focus groups to narrow down ideas for the new memorial design, including involving schools and multi-faith local community members.
The team has proposed a multi-structure memorial design, which has been discussed with the charity Ancre Somme Association Scotland and their architect.
According to &lsquo;The Glasgow Times&rsquo;, samples of the materials for the pavilion and surrounding blocks and full details of the designs and content of carvings into the stone will now be submitted for council approval.
The memorial will feature a chattri (an elevated, dome-shaped pavilion) and pillars, which will be carved creating a South Asian design, and include benches so people can sit and reflect amid new cherry trees to be planted.
The call for such a memorial was backed by members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) from across the political spectrum last year.&nbsp;

Britain’s King Charles III hosted his first major event in Scotland for the South Asian diaspora since becoming monarch last month as a celebration of charity initiatives geared towards the region.
The event for the British Asian Trust, founded by him as the Prince of Wales in 2007 to tackle poverty and hardship in South Asia, took place on Monday evening at Holyroodhouse Palace in Edinburgh - the 73-year-old monarch’s residence in Scotland. The King was joined by Queen Consort Camilla as they interacted with around 300 members of the South Asian diaspora, including Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami who had his first audience with the King since taking charge in London last week.
“The King has been involved with British Asian communities for many years through his work with British Asian Trust, which he founded in 2007 with a group of British Asian business leaders,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
“Their Majesties welcomed guests of South Asian heritage from across the UK to the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh to recognise the contribution that these communities have made to the National Health Service, Arts, Media, Education, Business and the Armed Forces,” it said.
The King and Queen Consort are currently in Scotland undertaking their first set of joint formal engagements since the royal mourning for the late Queen Elizabeth II concluded last week. During the hour-long reception, the royals also spoke to community representatives from the city of Leicester, which has been rocked by serious disorder involving sections of Hindu and Muslim communities since an India-Pakistan cricket match at the end of August.
“He was obviously appreciative of what our role has been in terms of policing, and he was very, very interested in hearing the community voice and how the communities are working together to bring back harmony,” said Rob Nixon, Leicestershire Police’s Chief Constable.
Guests at the reception included prominent members of the British Indian community, including British Asian Trust's Indian-origin chair Lord Jitesh Gadhia, and also members of the Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Nepalese, Bhutanese and Maldivian diaspora from across the UK.

 A 72-year-old Indian-origin doctor practicing in Scotland was on Thursday found guilty of sex offences against 48 female patients over 35 years.
Krishna Singh, a general practitioner, was accused of kissing, groping, giving inappropriate examinations and making sleazy comments, charges that he had denied during a trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
The GP insisted the patients were wrong and that some of the examinations were what he had been taught during medical training in India.
According to news reports from Scotland, the charges spanned between February 1983 and May 2018 and the offences mainly occurred at medical practices in North Lanarkshire, but also at a hospital accident and emergency department, a police station as well as during visits to patients' homes.
“The Crown case is that Dr Singh was in a routine of offending against women,” prosecutor Angela Gray told the court.
“Sometimes subtle or camouflaged, other times obvious and flagrant. Sexual offending was part of his working life,” she said.
Singh was seen as a respected member of the community, even awarded the royal Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) honour for his contribution to medical services.
An investigation into his conduct was launched after one woman reported him in 2018.
The doctor went on to be convicted of 54 charges against the victims, the crimes mainly consisting of multiple sexual and indecent assault.
He was found not proven on nine other charges and not guilty on a further two.
The judge hearing the case has deferred sentencing until next month and allowed Singh to be released on bail on condition that he surrendered his passport.

The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II departed Scotland on Tuesday evening for London, ahead of Monday’s state funeral.
Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died last week at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after reigning for 70 years. She was 96.
In a final farewell to the late monarch who was also Queen of Scotland, the cortege made its way by road to Edinburgh Airport at the conclusion of the Scottish ceremonial events to mark her death. 
“Scotland has now bid our Queen of Scots a sad, but fond farewell. We will not see her like this again,” said Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The Scottish government said around 33,000 people filed past the coffin while it lay at rest at St. Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh for 24 hours since Monday.
“Scotland has bid a final and poignant farewell to our much-loved Elizabeth, Queen of Scots. Over these past few days, we have seen just how much Her Majesty meant to the people of Scotland. As anticipated, people from all walks of life gathered across the country and in our capital city to pay tribute to the only Monarch most of us have ever known,” said Sturgeon.
“The scenes on Sunday as Her Majesty’s cortege made the journey from Balmoral Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and then yesterday and today as thousands gathered along the Royal Mile and queued to enter St. Giles to see the Queen’s Coffin, will forevermore form a very special part of the history of Scotland,” she said.
The First Minister of the devolved government expressed sympathy and good wishes for King Charles and the royal family, as was also conveyed in the parliamentary ceremonies held in the region over the past few days since the Queen died in Scotland on Thursday.
“Thousands across the emergency services, local authorities, armed forces, volunteer networks, transport and government agencies have helped ensure that Scotland paid fitting tribute to The Queen, and that Scots from all walks of life could celebrate the unparalleled contribution she made in her 70-year reign. The events of recent days have provided a sincere, solemn and fitting tribute from the people of Scotland to Her Majesty The Queen,” added Sturgeon.
The Queen's oak coffin was taken by road to Edinburgh Airport and flown to London, accompanied by the Queen’s daughter Princess Anne, on a Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft that was used to evacuate thousands of people fleeing the Taliban in Kabul last year.
The C-17 Globemaster has also been used to take humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine following Russia's invasion.

Scotland bids farewell to Elizabeth, Queen of Scots

Queen's coffin brought to Buckingham Palace for one last time

At the grand entrance of Buckingham Palace, the hearse was received by a guard of honour formed by the King&rsquo;s Guard

The coffin of Queen Elizabeth II arrived in London on Tuesday evening for a final night at Buckingham Palace before its journey to the Westminster Hall on Wednesday ahead of the state funeral September 19
Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, died on September 8 at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland after reigning for 70 years. She was 96.
The national anthem played as the coffin was flown from Edinburgh Airport to London, accompanied by the Queen&rsquo;s daughter Princess Anne on a Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft that has been previously used for humanitarian aid missions.
In an emotional statement, Anne &ndash; the Princess Royal described the journey with her late mother's coffin from Scotland to England as an &ldquo;honour and privilege&rdquo;.
&ldquo;I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest Mother&rsquo;s life. It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journeys,&rdquo; she said in a statement.
&ldquo;Witnessing the love and respect shown by so many on these journeys has been both humbling and uplifting. We will all share unique memories. I offer my thanks to each and every one who share our sense of loss. We may have been reminded how much of her presence and contribution to our national identity we took for granted,&rdquo; she said, while expressing gratitude for the support offered to her &ldquo;dear brother,&rdquo; King Charles III as he takes on the role of the monarch.
On landing at the RAF Northolt air base in west London, the cortege began its journey by road into central London.
King Charles III, who was in Northern Ireland earlier on Tuesday, had arrived at the royal residence in time to receive the coffin with Queen Consort Camilla.
The oak coffin was placed in a state hearse as a royal salute was given by an RAF guard of honour to set it off on its journey to the palace.

At the grand entrance of Buckingham Palace, the hearse was received by a guard of honour formed by the King&rsquo;s Guard and a bearer party then took the coffin to the Bow Room in the palace where it will be placed on trestles in the centre of the room.
Besides the senior royals including the Queen&rsquo;s children and grandchildren, the Rt Revd Dame Sarah Mullally, Dean of the Chapels Royal, conducted prayers followed by a rota of chaplains to the King keeping watch over the coffin overnight.
The Imperial State Crown and a wreath of flowers was placed on the coffin as the prayers were said in the presence of the King and other members of the royal family.
The coffin will remain overnight in the Bow Room before a royal procession on Wednesday afternoon to Westminster Hall for the start of the Lying-in-State when the public will be able to file past in Westminster Hall. The Bow Room is where the Queen has entertained several high-profile figures over the years, including former US President George Bush, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and Premier League footballers.
The room was formerly known as the Bow Library and is situated in the west wing of Buckingham Palace behind Marble Hall.
It was named after the window that runs along one side and the room also has direct access to the palace's garden.
Despite the pouring rain, crowds remained steadfast with umbrellas in the queue that has already been forming of members of the public preparing to pay their respects at the Lying-in-State from Wednesday evening.

Queen Elizabeth II to appoint new UK Prime Minister in Scotland


Since last year, the Queen has experienced some age-related mobility issues and often uses a walking stick.
&nbsp;

In a rare break from royal tradition, Queen Elizabeth II will appoint Britain's new Prime minister in Scotland this year instead of London. Releasing a statement, Buckingham Palace revealed that the Queen is currently based in Scotland and does not plan to travel down to London.
The 96-year-old monarch will receive the newly elected Conservative Party leader at her Balmoral Castle residence on Sept 6 &ndash; a day after the Tory leadership election result is announced.
Over the years, the Queen has received newly elected Prime Ministers in England and it was expected that she would travel back to Buckingham Palace in London or to her Windsor Castle residence in Berkshire.
However, given her age, it was speculated that this time she may decide to stay on at Aberdeenshire in Scotland, where she is spending her annual summer break.

Since last year, the Queen has experienced some age-related mobility issues and often uses a walking stick.
Earlier this year, she was forced to cut several official engagements short and missed much of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations to restrict her brief appearances to the Buckingham Palace balcony.
It is very rare for any British monarch not to anoint a new Prime Minister at Buckingham Palace.
Back in 1952, the Queen conducted the ceremony with her first Prime Minister Winston Churchill at Heathrow after she flew back from Africa as a new monarch following her father King George VI&rsquo;s death.
Every other Prime Minister since has travelled to Buckingham Palace.

In November 2020, the Scottish parliament unanimously voted for the Period Products Bill which binds schools, colleges, and universities to provide free sanitary products for students in their toilets. In its present form, the bill -- based on Period Products in Schools (Scotland) Regulations -- has gone further in placing a legal mandate on ministers to ensure access to such products by all.
Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon welcomed the decision on social media and said, "Proud to vote for this groundbreaking legislation, making Scotland the first country in the world to provide free period products for all who need them. An important policy for women and girls."

The chimney of the former Longannet Power Station in Fife was demolished by a controlled explosion on Thursday.
The 600ft chimney was the largest free-standing structure in Scotland and was considered a regional landmark.
Scottish Power lit up the structure and projected the slogan, "Make Coal History" on Wednesday evening ahead of its demolition.
Other structures at the site had already been previously demolished.
Longannet, which was once the largest coal-fired power station in Europe, began generating electricity in 1970 and produced Scotland's last coal-fired energy until it's closure in 2016.
