50,000 if you are speaking about the INA. Does not negate the 2 million who volunteered to fight for the BIA.
Personally, I believe we had no business fighting alongside the Brits. It was not our war.
But the facts or history cannot be argued.
And in the context of this thread, where Russians and Chinese members claim that the UNSC represents the victors of the last great war, both France and China put that lie out front and center.
Two defeated, invaded, and occupied countries. Dependent on others for their liberation.
Yet today they occupy seats on the UNSC alongside the US and Russia, and a Britain which clung on and "won" on Indian blood and treasure.
