A volunteer army as in if you don't fight for us you die... so volunteer or suffer the consequences.
And I agree, imperialism is evil and Empires are an outdated concept anyways. Are you Indian?

A volunteer army as in people Volunteer and enlist for the army, like all volunteer army's...Seriously, where do you get some of your **** from? :|
Yes I'm Indian.
They say it's "volunteer" but it's not, they were just sent to the meat grinder. If anything the Indians should've fought the imperalist Brits.
That's why India declared war on Germany September 1939, because India had to do it because they were part of the British Empire.
To the Indians, the British Raj was basically the same as Nazi Germany (and it kind of was).
Okay, why are you saying Britain needs to be more multicultural? India is one of the least diverse countries in the world. Would you want Mumbai or New Dehli to be like 40% British white? I wouldn't.
It is a Volunteer army that was part of the british army..
Yes, the British Raj was part of the British Empire. In the beginning of the war, under 200,000 British Raj (Indian) soldiers were ready to fight. By the end of the war over 2.5 Million soldiers were fighting for the BRITISH RAJ (Who is under the British Empire). Remember, although they were a British puppet state, they also did make their own laws. They had a volunteer army, not a draft. People ENLISTED to the army of the British Raj (India).
Yes, Indians felt bad about the British Government, but not excatly the British. The only ones who took it pretty far is Subhas Chandra Bose who started the Indian National Army to fight against the British. There were also some Indians involved in the "Azad Hind" movement who fought alongside the Germans for Indian independence, but again, these were by little numbers.
I wouldn't care a bit if Mumbai or Dehli, or any Indian city as a matter of fact, was 40% british white. But no city is, and it's not like that in Britan either. It's multicultural, and those different cultures combine to make that 30 or 40%. It's not just a whole group like Indians or a whole group of Polish who make a huge minority of 40%.
I could care less what color or ethnicity you are. That stuff is something that should barely even matter anymore.
