✍️India contributed $\bold{2.5\:million}$ volunteer soldiers to fight for the Allies during World War II (WWII).

✍️ These extremely brave soldiers came from very humble and $\bold{poor\: backgrounds}$ but they fought ferociously on land, at sea, and in the air.

✍️ In both the wars, the $\bold{British\:Indian\:Army}$ raised the world’s largest volunteer force.

✍️ In the East, the Indian soldiers, as part of the British Indian Army, fought against the $\bold{Japanese}$ and were responsible for ultimately securing South East Asia that included Singapore, the Malay Peninsula and Burma.

✍️ Were it not for the Indian soldiers, $\bold{history}$ could have been very different for the countries of this region.

✍️ $\bold{Indian}$doctors and nurses were deeply involved on the British soil and other countries.

✍️ In 1939, the $\bold{Indian\:Comforts\:Fund}$ (ICF) was established at India House in Aldwych that was run by Indian and British women. 

✍️The Indian soldiers, on the ground, fought courageously in every battle and built an envious reputation which the $\bold{Indian\:Army}$ has carried forward to this day.

✍️Their $\bold{exploits}$ were seen in East and North Africa, Italy, Burma, and as far out as Singapore, Malay Peninsula, Guam, and Indo China.

✍️ The role played by $\bold{Air\:Force}$ pilots from India are legendary and well documented. 

✍️ WWII acted as a catalyst to India’s fight for independence but not before the British almost lost India to Netaji’s $\bold{Indian\:National\:Army}$.

✍️ INA was raised by $\bold{Subhash\:Chandra\:Bose}$as a deeply committed military force comprising Indian volunteers and POWs of the Japanese in South East Asia, with the aim of launching a military campaign to throw the British out of India.
