Q. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose organised the Indian National Army at
(a) Singapore
(b) Jakarta
(c) Hong Kong
(d) Rangoon.
Ans: (a) Singapore
Explanation: The correct answer is (a) Singapore.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose organized the Indian National Army (INA) in Singapore. After his escape from house arrest in India, Netaji Bose traveled to various countries seeking support for the Indian independence movement. In Singapore, he received support from the Japanese forces who were occupying the region during World War II.
With the backing of the Japanese, Netaji Bose formed the Indian National Army, also known as Azad Hind Fauj or INA, on 1st September 1942. The INA was comprised of Indian soldiers and prisoners of war who had previously served in the British Indian Army but were captured by the Japanese. Netaji Bose assumed the leadership of the INA and aimed to use it as a military force to liberate India from British rule.
Singapore became the headquarters of the INA, and Netaji Bose delivered his famous speeches from there, rallying Indian soldiers and civilians to join the fight for independence. The INA later participated in military campaigns alongside the Japanese forces in Burma (now Myanmar) and the northeast region of India.
Thus, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose organized the Indian National Army in Singapore.
