At the War Memorial of Korea, two symbolic clocks stand: one frozen at 4 a.m. on June 25, 1950 — the moment the war began — and the other ticking patiently, awaiting the day the two halves of the peninsula might be reunited. These clocks capture not just loss, but hope. A hope that one day, the Korean people, divided by history, may find unity again. And when that day comes, India will stand with them, just as it did 75 years ago, says Col Pillay.
