II think India’s role if any at all during the WW2 was hardly significant and merely self centered if we take Subhash Chandra Bose and the Japanese in the picture.

Far from the truth. The 2.5 million Indian soldiers who volunteered for the war could be found almost everywhere where Britain fought. When you consider that Britain itself raised only 3 million soldiers by the war’s end, you realise the contribution that India made - for every British soldier committed to the war, there was an Indian soldier fighting too. Britain’s ability to fight a world war relied on having massive numbers of Indian soldiers.
