Thanks, for information.
welcome.
I was under impression that Indian were part of British force only.
well the bulk of the indian forces was under the raj army yes.
Wow!! they were part of Rommel force.
yes, Hitler's indian army, to be precise.
Why our history books skiped this chapter?
cos those are nehruvian history books.
long story short, this is what happened.
Mussolini realised that as long as the poms had india they'd be well supplied with raw materials and even an army. Meanwhile Netaji realised that a more oppurtune time (WW2) to strike at the poms and throw them out would never come. Netaji met the germans with the help of italians. There they raised an indian army with pow raj soldiers that the germans took. But by then germany was already on the way to lose the war. Had this germany trained indian army come about even 2-3 years earlier than it did, we may have seen the poms fleeing india. But that was not to be. Netaji had one last favour from the germans though - they arranged a meeting with the germans. A german submarine brought Netaji to madagascar coast where he was transwerrd to a Japanese sub. He met the Japanese in Phillipines/Singapore. most of the underground work establishing all these contacts with Italians, germans and esp japs was done by one Rash Behari Bose. He also helped whip up a indian force in singapore with pows of the Raj army that the japs took.
They marched till rangoon and Nagaland, taking loads of pom prisoners on the way in Burma. But then they were defeated by a far more numerically superior army comprised of their lobotomised bloodbrothers of the Raj army. So gandhi's indians helped defeat fellow indians and free pom prisoners from jep prison camps. thats how stupid gandhi was !! Meanwhile indian forces in Lybia and Italy heard of Netaji and his victories in burma and north east india and switched alliance to Hitler. It is those soldiers that the allies found amongst German soldiers they captured and this info was considered so sensitive that it was kept classsified till recently. But the message to the poms was already sent loud and clear by the INA. If the poms needed any further confirmation, then the Naval revolt in Bombay provided it.
Two more facts about indian freedom movement
1) Netaji never died in Taiwan. Either he was killed by Allies or kept in house arrest till his death by Stalin, with blessings from jokerlal.
2) Aside of prolonging the pom stay in india by a good 10 years if not more, gandhi had no contribution in our freedom.
