Yes. The Indian troops were stationed to ensure law and order together with the remaining Japanese troops, after the war, until they were gradually replaced by troops from the Dutch Indies army that had to be shipped from (what was then left of) Holland.
But the local population learned how to handle weapons from the Japanese (they left piles of 'm behind, including armoured cars and airplanes). They also learned about "freedom and democracy" wich they also kinda liked.
The Dutch government had always dificulties to except that date. And still, hypocrites as they are..... they are not verry happy to except the fact that Indonesia has regained their own freedom in august '45. They have ignored it ever since.
