How scarce was food during the war? What did Indian soldiers eat as food?

Eating things like leaves, grass and bark as food is said to be related to their religious beliefs, but we don't know, it may be true. It is said that this happened during World War II, because India became a British colony a long time ago. At that time, Britain was still an "imperial empire" and had been under British colonial rule. So later India wanted to get rid of British rule with the help of external forces.

During World War II, it was about 1942 when Japan occupied Singapore. There were Indian soldiers in Singapore at that time. When the British chief in Singapore surrendered, he handed over these Indian soldiers to Japan by the way. Japanese cruelty to prisoners is world-famous. In order to let Indian soldiers receive "militaristic education", understand "Bushido spirit" and firmly believe in "Emperor", the Japanese army tortured these Indian soldiers for three days and three nights. Adhering to the spirit of "give a sweet jujube a stick to eat", the Japanese army began to attract Indian soldiers to join the Japanese army with the slogan of "eating meat with the imperial army".

Because Japan also promised to help them resist the "cruel" British, Indian soldiers joined without hesitation. Then, after the Imphal War broke out, it was indeed the Japanese who mixed up a large number of Indians and beat the British badly from the beginning. But later, because of the lack of food, the Japanese army began to kill cattle and eat beef instead of rations.

Fortunately, cows have a very high position in Indian religious beliefs. Although India now exports cattle, they don't eat beef themselves. So the Japanese can eat beef instead of military food, but the Indians can't. At this time, the Japanese generals said that their Yamato people have been eating grass since ancient times. At that time, all the cows were almost killed, and the Japanese army began to eat grass. These hungry Indians naturally began to eat grass, bark and other things to satisfy their hunger.
