Narendra Modi visits Kolhapur Memorial in Warsaw

Indian PM Narendra Modi laid a wreath and paid tribute at the Kolhapur Memorial in Warsaw on Wednesday.

"The memorial is dedicated to the generosity of princely state of Kolhapur offered to the Polish people during the second World War," read a statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

The camp established at Valivade, Kolhapur, provided shelter to Polish people during the war.

This settlement housed approximately 5,000 Polish refugees, including women and children.

At the memorial, the Prime Minister met with Polish people who had lived in the Kolhapur camp and their descendants.

"Prime Minister’s visit to the memorial highlights a special historical connection that exits between India and Poland, and one that continues to be nurtured and nourished," MEA said.
