Chint Singh
CHINT SINGH: THE MAN WHO SHOULD HAVE DIED is a compelling true story of survival, resilience, courage, and deep sense of duty of an Indian officer during World War 2. With the fall of Singapore in World War 2 in 1942, approximately 2400 Indian POWs were shipped to Papua New Guinea to work as labourers. Many, over 2 years, lost their lives in the thick jungles and swamps due to tropical diseases, malnutrition, torture by Japanese forces or bombing by Allied forces. Chint Singh along other ten soldiers were sole survivors rescued by Australian forces. Tragically his ten mates died in plane crash while they were heading back home. This made Chint Singh the sole survivor of almost 2400 Indian POWs. The most intriguing questions: • How did Chint Singh managed to survive? • What ordeals did he go through while in Japanese captivity? • Why was he chosen as chief witness in the war crimes trails in Australia against the Japanese? To find the answers read this remarkable true story of Chint Singh!

The Raj at War
The Second World War was not fought by Britain alone. India produced the largest volunteer army in world history: over 2 million men. But, until now, there has never been a comprehensive account of India's turbulent home front and the nexus between warfare and India’s society. In The Raj at War we hear the myriad voices of ordinary Indian people, from the first Indian to win the Victoria Cross to the three soldiers imprisoned as ‘traitors to the Raj’ who returned to a hero’s welcome, from the nurses in Indian General Hospitals to labourers and their families in remote villages. Yasmin Khan presents the overlooked history of India at war, and shows how mobilisation for the war unleashed seismic processes of economic, cultural and social change – decisively shaping the international war effort, the unravelling of the empire and India’s own political trajectory.
