Explanation:

The First World War began with an unprecedented outpouring of support towards Britain from within the mainstream political leadership,contrary to initial British fears of an Indian revolt. India contributed massively to the British war effort by providingmen and resources.
About 1.3 million Indian soldiers and labourers served in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, while both the Indian government and the princes sent large supplies of food, money and ammunition.However, Bengal and Punjab remained hotbeds of anti colonial activities. Nationalism in Bengal, increasingly closely linked with the unrests in Punjab, was significant enough to nearly paralyse the regional administration.
