Indians have since risen up to fight for independence, free themselves from the British colony in 1947.

Indian people have named one street, which lies in the heart of Kolkata city, after Ho Chi Minh President’s to commemorate the inspiration of national liberation. There’s also a memorial board of the president on this street.
