At the hight of Japanese war mongering WW2, they were going to invade and take over India.
How likely is this?
Even with all the poo in loo memes India is a massive country full of hardened soldiers, unless it was the US, China or Russia using tactical nukes for a preventive strike I honestly don't see how India could be Invaded by a force of ground troops
It isn't like they didn't have the resources of the entirety of china and southeast asia to draw from.

>implying indians had weapons had basic weaponry >implying they didn't shit on streets >implying they weren't like 300 in total british soldiers there to keep their colony It would be the easiest thing ever.

A nation of clean toilets would easy conquer a nation of street shitters.

how did the japanese overwhelm the numerically superior chinese during ww2? how did the british take over india when they were vastly outnumbered? indians are made of the same kind of subhuman slave stock as the chinese. the zipperheads wouldn't have had much problem without british or american intervention.

The Indian gurkhas were pretty savage mate

Comparing the third world to the Anglosphere prove that concentrating wealth and making classes rigid guarantees national failure beyond mere poverty.

But they didn't have the resources of China. They barely got control of the coastal regions of China. Also, they lacked the merchant shipping to transport most of the raw materials of South East Asia back to Japan. They couldn't even make up losses to Allied submarine attacks.
The truth about the Japanese is that they're bad fighters. Unless they have the element of surprise, they generally lost every abttle they fought. That's why they lost in Burma, despite outnumbering the British by about 6:1.

actually japanese foguht in some battles against the indians (which were mainly under the british flag , but with indian leaders) and they lost, cant be bothered to find it right now
and also its very easy to control a continent like India since it consisted of many princely states which all hated eachother

>massive country full of hardened soldiers no it wasnt
Youre conflating india now with india then. India had a handful of British regiments there. It would've been a steamroll. Whether or not Japan could hold onto it, well, thats another story. They likely would've just put a puppet government in place but even still that would've caused issues.

They chose to serve here of their own volition, Amerifat. And there's a good chunk of Gurkhas in several states on the Indian side as well who have been here for centuries.

Japan completely cucked the allies at the beginning of WW2. The Japs even recognised this, an admiral said "I can run wild for six months after that, I have no expectations of success". Look how quickly, Singapore, Indonesia, Indochina and the Philippines fell.
Japan just walked in and took what it wanted in China. The Chinese could not fight back effectively. The only reason there wasnt a total occupation is because most of china was extremely rural and the Japs didnt have the manpower.
You explain why they lost in Burma in your own post. The nips couldnt supply their own men. Man for man, they were certainly worse than the allies but youre comparing Britain, arguably the most powerful nation in the world just prior to the war to Japan a very recent and largely untested power.
Wyatt Peterson
I'm pretty sure India could beat Afghanistan and Pakistan if it came to it, without nukes of course
Jack Russell
They wanted to make the Indians turn on the British and ally with them.
Bentley Sullivan
Hard job doing that after the shit they pulled in China.

>how did the japanese overwhelm the numerically superior chinese during ww2?
The Chinese were not united as one people.
The Japs could attack one area after another while the Chinks sat on their hands with a "it's not us" attitude.
It would be if the USA was not united and a foreign army could attack one state after another. without any political will to do anything.
One side-effect of WW2--Jap attacks did unite the Chinks--they came to realize during their occupation that they were all lobsters in the same pot.

Have you ever met Indians? They're all small and incredibly lazy and uncoordinated. It's just indescribable to see.
