If your ancestors died this century whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (e.g. Great Britain, Australia, Canada, New Zealand) then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are scattered throughout Asia (and other parts of the world) and are beautifully maintained.
*[http://www.cwgc.org Commonwealth War Graves Commission Homepage]. To find the cemeteries in India on the CWGC database, select "Find a Cemetery" and enter India in "Country"
The CWGC has a long term program in India for the reinstatement of First World War Cantonment Graves which were previously declared un-maintainable<ref> [http://issuu.com/wargravescommission/docs/2ar2012?e=4065448/2666323 2011-2012 Annual Report] page 19 (located in “Learning and Resources” section of the website)</ref>
