A family in Sehore is preparing to send a legal notice to the British government, alleging that a loan of Rs 35,000 taken in 1917 remains unpaid. The family claims to have discovered documents indicating that the amount was issued as a war loan during the First World War and is now seeking repayment of what it describes as a historical sovereign debt.
