Question
Wired Faculty App

Discuss the formation and role of the Azad Hind Fauj.

Answer

The Azad Hind Fauj was organised by Subhash Chandra Bose. He had set up this army with the help of Japan and Germany. The objective of this army was to get India freed from the clutches of the British. Subhash Chandra Bose had instilled national spirit among all his soldiers. As a result, this army witnessed a few successes at different places in the country. But as Japan and Gemany were defeated in the Second World War, this army lost its ground. The British arrested a few prominent leaders of this army and charged them of treason and rebellion. But owing to the pressure of the people, they were released later on.
