This is almost ASB because the IJA will not release the troops and the IJN didn't want to turn away from the USN. Further both were absolutely right. Japan would not have gained very much from even the most successful invasion imaginable. Thus this does not belong in a "How can Japan do better" thread. However it does belong in a "How can the British do worse" thread because a Japanese invasion of India might have caused much of the British Army in India to change sides and if India falls, it will be very hard to recapture.

Thus my question assumes some sort on Pan Asian craziness from the Japanese and some initial success. I am guessing that initial success would lead to a complete collapse of British India and thus that the British are faced with a hostile India under Bose when Japan surrenders.

Is this likely and what are the consequences?
