Detailed explanation-1: -“So we also felt that India should be free, this war showed us the right path.” The veterans’ voices as old men should remind us that although they may have fought for democracy in their youth, they did so with heavy hearts-for the pay, as Gandhi said, of a tyranny.
Detailed explanation-2: -During World War I, an estimated 12, 000 Native American soldiers served in the U.S. military, and tens of thousands of Native Americans supported the war at home by working in war industries, purchasing war bonds, and assisting in war relief efforts.
Detailed explanation-3: -When war was declared on August 4th, India rallied to the cause. Those with influence within India believed that the cause of Indian independence would best be served by helping out Britain in whatever capacity India could – including the Indian National Congress.
