| Summary/Abstract |
Japan’s politico-strategic involvement in Indian subcontinent in the pre-1945 period was peripherally linked to Japan’s larger goal of establishing its pan-Asiatic empire under the official policy of establishing an Asian empire under the grand title of “Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere” under the overarching leadership of Japan, when Japan, during its military campaigns against the British in South East Asian countries, realized the importance of a large Indian diaspora in South East Asia, seething with revolutionary zeal against the British rule in India and decided to utilize them for an anti-British propaganda offensive as well as for gathering precious intelligence information through their India networks.
