Default Indian Spitfire Pilots

I hope that this is the right section for this question.

I came across this photo and it set me wondering. How many Indian spitfire pilots were there?

I believe that the old British Indian army was, by the end of WW2 the largest volunteer army in history, at aboutr 2.5 million men, but how many Indians flew spitfires?
