again - please read. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_World_War_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_production_during_Wor... check the contribution tables During the war, India provided 196.7 million tonnes of coal, 6 million tonnes of iron ore and 1.12 million tonnes of steel. Approx 35 per cent of India’s annual cotton textile production, amounting to about 5,000,000,000 yards, went into creating war material. India contributed more than Australia, Canada, New Zealand put together. And yeah - we werent even part of the war. (oh also, Indian army had become the largest volunteer army in history, rising to over 2.5 million men in August 1945. with the operative word being "volunteer"!) By the end of the war outstanding balances were equivalent to 60 per cent of British net receipts under Lend-Lease. Of the total sterling balances, about a third was accumulated by India. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ehr.12372 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/ehr.12372 you can go ahead and ignore this if you want. your choice and your call.
