“So I am a content creator who makes videos on the Indian Military, its history from pre-independence to today’s time, showcasing all the vehicles which fought great wars. Esp 1965, 1971 and Kargil. In one of these videos, I used a clip from a guy’s channel. In the original video, he has shown a Sherman tank in India at a museum. It’s 59 seconds long. I mentioned the channel name, the creator and asked people to go check out his channel and subscribe to him,” the content creator wrote on Reddit.
