How many Pakistanis served in World War 2?

Answer 1

Pakistanis in WW2As a state Pakistan only came into existence with the partition of British India in August 1947. Prior to that there was no such place as Pakistan and the people who became Pakistanis were still Indians at the time of WW2 and 'unpicking' the statistics would be almost impossible. There millions of Pakistanis would have fought in WW2 but at the time they would have officially counted as part of the Indian Army.
