The Second World War was not fought by Britain alone. India
produced the largest volunteer army in world history: over 2
million men. But, until now, there has never been a comprehensive
account of India's turbulent home front and the nexus between
warfare and India's society. In The Raj at War we hear the myriad
voices of ordinary Indian people, from the first Indian to win the
Victoria Cross to the three soldiers imprisoned as 'traitors to the
Raj' who returned to a hero's welcome, from the nurses in Indian
General Hospitals to labourers and their families in remote
villages. Yasmin Khan presents the overlooked history of India at
war, and shows how mobilisation for the war unleashed seismic
processes of economic, cultural and social change - decisively
shaping the international war effort, the unravelling of the empire
and India's own political trajectory.
