This movie was criticized for not showing Indian soldiers. Four companies of the Royal Indian Army Service Corps, unarmed mule handlers, were present at Dunkirk during the evacuation. These numbered less than a thousand out of nearly half a million men. Three were evacuated, and one taken prisoner by the Germans. In September 1939, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi had urged all Indian people not to support the British war effort. He later launched the Quit India campaign in 1942, which was violently suppressed by the British.
