There is a long standing consensus on Wikipedia and by historians in general that the Provisional Government of Free India was indeed a Japanese puppet state. This is in keeping with other similar entities established during in Asia the Second World War by Axis Powers such as the State of Burma, Second Philippine Republic, Wang Jingwei regime and Manchukuo all of which are described as "Puppet State of the Empire of Japan" in their info-boxes. Additionally, Puppet states established in Europe by the Axis powers such as the Italian Social Republic, Independent State of Croatia, Government of National Salvation and Vice France are described as "Puppet States of Germany" in their info-boxes. The term "Puppet state" is commonly used to refer to a government that is under the effective control of another power, and is not intended to be derogatory or disrespectful, it is simply a unemotional description of a state of affairs between governments. Please discuss before resorting to unilateral actions to change this statement. Cordyceps-Zombie (talk) 16:25, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
