@Dylan:
So would India be after of before Australia!
Thats quite the question. Without the arms the British provided them with as well as considering that the number of troops in the Indian army was radically reduced when the country was partitioned at the time of Indian independence.
India does have the manpower advantage over Australia in a massive way but the equipment the British left them with was hardly that modern and they didnt have a large airforce either. So I would personally put Australia above India but only just, Australia’s large airforce negates India’s man power advantage and then some.
Interestingly enough today India is well on its way to becoming a miltary superpower with the world’s 4th largest airforce and a navy that is growing at a great rate of knots including the construction of 2 aircraft carriers and the purchase of a former Russian navy carrier.
