Netaji’s plan was to enter India with his army and march to Delhi, where he would forcibly overthrow the British. Here he is shown at the Indo-Burmese front in 1944, just prior to the invasion. Although ultimately his regiments were repelled by the British, they fought many brave and honourable battles. Prime Minister Tojo of Japan pledged the support of the Japanese army in helping Netaji to liberate India from the British. Netaji then went to Singapore and Burma and formed many strong and loyal divisions of the Indian National Army (INA). These divisions were composed of Indians belonging to all religions. Netaji was especially proud of his all-women’s division, which he named the Rani of Jhansi Regiment. Here he is shown inspecting the regiment. In October 1943, from Singapore, Netaji proclaimed the Provisional Government of Azad Hind (Free India).
