I do know that India entered the war as part of the British Empire and I'm also aware that British India defeated Mussolini's army and helped the Allies gain ground in Fascist Italy. India also contributed in Allied battles in Africa against Rommel's army despite being the third-largest army (after the USSR and the US) in WW2, India's contribution isn't that widely accepted or recognised by the West. Why is that so?
/u/Calorie_Man has an excellent answer on the question of "Popular culture depicts Britain as an isolated island in the Atlantic facing the might of fascist Europe alone after France's fall during WWII. But the UK was a huge empire with the manpower reserves, industry, and riches of India, Africa, Canada, and Australia. How overmatched was it really?", with a focus on why the British Empire's contribution was minimised in post-war remembrances.
That was a good answer.
