Yes, that's true but that's not how the 'global narrative' tells it. Our history has inherited this global narrative to appease the colonial masters and buried the larger narrative. This is also the reason why Netaji files haven't been released because it 'may spoil relations with a foreign power'.Isn't that true though? They left because they got wasted by Hitler. They didn't have any troops to help keep the peace in India and India had a large number of battle hardened armed soldiers returning from WW2. The violence would have started if they hadn't left. So they got the hell out of dodge while they could with their dignity intact.
Britain was weakened not just in Europe but even within India, the Soviet Socialists had reached out to revolutionaries and provided moral and material support to Hindustan Socialist Republic association (Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev), at the same time RSS had made a pact with Bose, who in turn had a pact with Hitler for us to send our boys to the British army and once in the battlefield, they would surrender en masse to Hitler and get training to fight against the British.
THIS is why the British had Bose declared as a WW2 war criminal despite him not having participated in any European theater of war. He only participated in the Indian theater for the liberation of India.
The Nazis had actually setup special cells for training Indian 'deserters' from the British army. By now it was clear from the unusually high number of desertions that desertion was merely a means of free travel for our lads to travel from India to Germany on British dime, only to get training and infiltrate back into India and pop a cap in British ass.
Look at our lads in Nazi uniforms.
This one is Wafen SS :
During the Asian version of Nuremberg trials (known as Toyko Trials), there was an Indian judge who finally said what no one had the courage to say that the trials does not conform to the highest standards of judicial probity, because the Allies have not been held accountable for the warcrimes they committed. This is merely a witch hunt by a victorious power"
The judge's name was Radhagobind Pal. Japan still has a memorial in his honor at the Yasukuni Shrine.
Decades After War Trials, Japan Still Honors a Dissenting Judge
That's Hideki Tojo with justice Pal at the extreme left.
There's even a Netflix series about it, with Irffan Khan in it, named 'Tokyo Trials'.
I know you said yesterday that you didn't want to talk about Azad Hind Fauz and their alliance with the Axis, but this intellectual banter between us just keeps getting interesting every time it comes up..
There's even a movie about it, which released just this week. Here's a teaser :
If Indians who fought for the independence of India in the AHF could be labelled as war criminals then the French Resistance fits the bill too.
