To cut off their chances at getting a steady oil supply and controlling the Suez Canal. As a British defeat in North Africa would have handed the Axis control of the vast oil reserves in the Middle East and would enable them to open up a Southern Front against Russia by going through Iran.

It involved staging dummy tanks and planes on the English coastline to fool the Germans into thinking the Allies were building up to make an all out attack. The Operation involved double agents, fake telegraphy messages, a phony movement of some of the allied warriors and many other details. They also tried to get the Germans to think they would also land at Norway. See the link below for a great article on the deceptive operation.

India was and still is in the geographical subcontinent of South Asia. Before the partition with Pakistan, it was bordered on the north by Afghanistan and Nepal, and on the East by what was then called Burma. Politically it was part of the British Empire (Commonwealth of Nations). India sent troops to fight in North Africa and Italy, but most were held back to defend India against invasion from Japan and to act as a staging area for operations in Burma and the immediate vicinity.
