Forgotten Volunteers British Indian Army WW2 (2/5)

[vik2008USA]

I am so surprised to see that people think that someone has died for some country. People die while doing their duty. Their duty pays them money. People get into army for money, not just for emotions. Emotions, patriotism etc come from movies and songs but the real idea is employment. No offence to anybody, specially soldiers but root cause problem is indians never had unity and economy to support the population. Still,indians are just providing services to western nations and calling it success

[LudwigTheRuthles]

Why the fuck are people still supporting that fat pile of shit: Winston Churchill

[TheBarathbushan]

@LudwigTheRuthles We indians gave 2.5 million of our men to the british during WW2 . They scored victories at crucial strategic points , they endured poor pay , inequality , discrimination and poor treatment of our troops .

After war they neither got any credits , pension or atleast even some appreciation .

All the soldiers got from churchill is his famous comment

"INDIANS ARE A BEASTLY PEOPLE WITH BEASTLY RELIGION"

thank you

Mr churchill

We find you no less imperialist than the Nazis !!

[vik2008USA]

@TheBarathbushan Indians were in british army serving british interest just for the sake of money, although they used to get much less than their counterparts. No body sacrifices for any country, its an employment so there is no question of giving or taking men.

Hi can anyone help me Can Army Officers go to the Royal Hospital Chelsea

[freebeerfordworkers]

@nylonTS I think a few officers go there as commanders of the companies their web site could give you more information. 

[vik2008USA]

foolish bbc correspondent. at the end whom he is calling militant indian nationalist, he is actually a hero in India.. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. At that time, he already made an arrangement with Hitler and Japanese about kicking off british from india. Probably that's what makes him militant in British eyes.

[itrybutalwaysfail]

@vik2008USA I think by militant they meant someone who was willing to use force to get independence. The first INA leader was not Bose, it was Mohan Singh. Mohan Singh later turned against the Japanese because he felt they were turning the INA into a puppet army, so the Japanese had him arrested and replaced by Bose. I therefore consider Mohan Singh to be the true hero of the INA. They say so in part 3 of the clip.

[vik2008USA]

@itrybutalwaysfail I agree with you. Thanks for correcting me. Militant is a common term used for what you explained. Thanks. I would like to read more about Mohan Singh though.

INDIANS WOULD HAVE FOUGHT ALONGSIDE ROMMEL.NOT UNDER BRIT FAGGOTS.

[martynrobin121]

BRITAIN BETRAYED EVERY1 NOT ONLY THE INDIANS! EVEN BRTISH TROOPS WERE LIED TO AND BETRAYED. The british just lie about everything AND AMERICA DOES THE SAME MONKEY SEE,MONKY DO.

[atrumira]

Every Brit should know the price individual Indians paid for their freedom. Honoring their sacrifice & respecting their children is all we can do now.

[MrGavini]

yes indian slodiers are great

[endlesswaltzhaha]

Raja is very fortunate to have survived the firing squad....pardon my language but that is some fucking crazy shit right there....also, i had no idea that india was this involved....they were holding it down against rommel....shame to all those history teachers that taught me and in turn all those who taught them and so forth....Yet curiosity does strike... as to the fact that the indian government did not permit the makers of this excellent documentary to film there and proceed forth... Hmmmmmm

[CMMY81]

We salute u brave Indian soldiers!

[msmillsish]

my Cdn father knew Indians in WWII... I wish more Indians knew how well Indian officers and ranks were regarded. Like many Cdns, Australians and many others, volunteers who fought two dreadful enemies.

[kobenbagreat]

[granskare]

Percival was not a good general to surrender his overwhelming force to a much smaller Japanese force which surprised the Japanese army..

[RajputWarrior1979]

I Salute the brave Indian soldiers of past and present.
