Description:On the morning of 5 November 1945, three soldiers stood trial for treason on the ramparts of the Red Fort. They were Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Kumar Sahgal and Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon: three among the 40,000 soldiers of the Indian National Army, led by Subhas Chandra Bose.The Second World War had been longer, more horrifying and more hopeful for them than for many others. They'd been abandoned by the British in the sweating jungles of Southeast Asia. The Japanese had offered a dubious hand of friendship. They’d known gnawing hunger and terrible despair. Their fellow Indians in the armed forces of British India were aghast at the choice these men made: to fight for country, but not for Crown.Allegiance is the story of this momentous journey through the eyes of the three soldiers at the centre of it all. It sweeps through one of the most tumultuous and most poignant conflicts in modern Indian history, from the swamps of British Malaya to encampments in Singapore, Thailand, and Burma, all the way to the Red Fort—where the public trial of a Hindu, a Muslim and a Sikh drove a hard nail into the coffin of Empire.Dhillon, Sahgal, Shah Nawaz.
