Yet India’s extraordinary role has been concealed, from itself and from the world.
The years 1939–45 might be the most revered, deplored, and replayed in modern history. Bobby’s pursuit would carry him as far as the deserts of Iraq and the green hell of the Burma battlefront. Manek, dashing and confident, was a pilot with India’s fledgling air force gentle Ganny became an army doctor in the arid North-West Frontier. Then he learned about the Parsi boy from the sleepy south Indian coast, so eager to follow his brothers-in-law into the colonial forces and onto the front line. One of them, Bobby, even looked a bit like him, but Raghu Karnad had not noticed until he was the same age as they were in their photo frames. Indians had never figured in his idea of the war, nor the war in his idea of India. They had all fought in the Second World War, a fact that surprised him. The photographs of three young men had stood in his grandmother’s house for as long as he could remember, beheld but never fully noticed.
