From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kaiser-i-Hind medal[1] was instituted by Queen Victoria in May 1900, and was awarded by the British monarchy to anyone, irrespective of race, sex, position and occupation, who rendered distinguished service in the advancement of the public interest in undivided India, then a part of the British Empire. The medal had three categories: gold, silver, and bronze.
Its most famous recipient is Mohandas Gandhi, who later returned it.
