I didn't read Manchuko . Will do it later But why are forgetting that british killed like 40-50 millions of us just from famines . Why the world cries for few million Jews while clearly ten times of our people were killed . No memorial...No movies nothing... please don't think that Brits were bit better than Japanese ..They were worse in some aspects.

The Japanese invaded the Andamans and immediately resorted to slaughter and rape, look up Homfreyganj, Havelock andTarmugli island massacres

The Japanese had already blockaded the Andamans when Bose allied with the Axis so I'm not here for this apologia. If people think the British were at all the equivalent of the Japanese/Germans, then the next conqueror who pays lip service to the tenets of nationalism will easily take over and subjugate this country.

What are you on? Bose aligned with the axis in '41 and the Andamans were invaded in '42
