Eliot has made attempt to convince his ideas by dedicating this poem on the Indian soldiers who sacrificed their life in Africa.
Through it he wishes to justify the sacrifice of Indian soldiers supporting the English army against Hitler in south Africa. He tries to make it clear that the soldiers laid down their lives for a noble cause. The important thing is that they died as heroes.we can see how difficult it's for one to die in a foreign county. He seems to suggests that the place where a man meets his destiny in his destination. Every county will have such places where foreigners are buried. Whether it may be England or some village in Punjab.
Eliot at last succeeds to convince that the sublime sacrifice that soldiers made in a foreign land for a common cause, will kindle the great spirit in other man in the years to come. The poet hopes that we must realise that selfless action never goes with its over rewarded.
In this way, Eliot refers the philosophy of Bhagvad Gita.
Thank You.
