Notes:

Propaganda warning against Indian involvement in the war against Japan was produced to coincide with Chiang Kai-shek's visit to India in February 1942, and was also distributed to Indian troops fighting for the British in Southeast Asia. Such propaganda invariably depicted Chiang as a either a lackey to British imperialism or as a war monger who would spill Indian blood in defence of Nationalist China
