Right since 1947 there has been systematic attempts by vested political interests in India to undermine that armed campaign in the east. But that the combination of INA’s political appeal and the might of the Imperial Japanese Army portended a very grave danger to the British was confirmed in April 2013 when in a contest organised by Army Museum at London, the battle of Imphal-Kohima was voted as the Britain’s greatest battle since the time of English civil war. Significantly it was chosen ahead of battles of D-Day, Normandy and Waterloo. Eminent historians mentored important battles and put forth their respective cases before the jury. Though not known widely, it is a fact that had only Major General Sato not committed a strategic blunder in Kohima, the history of India’s liberation – nay, the World War II itself, could have been very different!
