It is a rebuttal that Muslims and Indians in general did not chose to fight alongside the British. If they were anti British you will have to explain the largest volunteer fighting force the world has ever seen being on the British side.
A large number of the Indians defected to the Japanese side and then fought handily against the Allies after the fall of Singapore.

You should not disregard economic factors and the belief we were simply going to win - as opposed to support for the Commonwealth.
