1. India was part of the British Empire in 1939-45 (though it had some autonomy in some areas). It fought alongside Britain throughout the war. 2. There was an unspoken assumption that the reward for doing so would be independence after the war. (India and Pakistan became independent on 15 August 1947). 3. After the fall of Singapore (in January 1942) Indians were as keen as anyone else to make sure that India wasn't occupied by the Japanese.
