这篇文章表明，在帝国环境下发动战争可能重塑了1939年至1945年印度的军民关系。印度驻军的数量对社会和当地政治产生了影响。这篇文章调查了广泛的卖淫作为性别战时经济的一个方面。印度卖淫与军事化和1943年孟加拉饥荒的影响密切相关。这篇文章还认为，这是20世纪40年代印度帝国对男女互动进行更深远的重新谈判的症状。其他印度、欧洲、北美和英印妇女在红十字会担任护士，并在战争中担任各种角色。由于1940年代驻扎在印度的军队数量增加，妇女受到新的社会和性需求的影响。
This article suggests how the waging of war in an imperial setting may have reshaped military and civilian relations in India from 1939-45. The number of troops stationed in India had repercussions for society and local politics. The article investigates widespread prostitution as one aspect of the gendered wartime economy. Indian prostitution was closely linked to militarization and to the effects of the 1943 Bengal famine. The article also argues this was symptomatic of a more far-reaching renegotiation of the interactions between men and women in the Indian Empire of the 1940s. Other Indian, European, North American and Anglo-Indian women worked as nurses, with the Red Cross and in a variety of roles towards the war effort. Women were subject to new social and sexual demands due to the increased numbers of troops stationed in India in the 1940s.
