Q. The I.N.A. was organised by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at
(a) Rangoon
(b) Singapore
(c) Taiwan
(d) Tokyo
Ans: (b) Singapore
Explanation: The Indian National Army (INA) was organized by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at (b) Singapore.
During World War II, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose established the Indian National Army in Singapore on 1st September 1942. The INA, also known as Azad Hind Fauj (Free India Army), was formed with the aim of liberating India from British colonial rule.
Subhash Chandra Bose, who had escaped house arrest in India and sought support from various countries, including Germany and Japan, played a pivotal role in organizing and leading the INA. With the assistance of the Japanese forces, the INA was trained, equipped, and supported by the Japanese military in its operations against the British in Southeast Asia.
Bose’s headquarters in Singapore became the center of operations for the INA. He delivered inspirational speeches and urged Indian soldiers and civilians to join the fight for India’s independence. The INA played a significant role in the war in the Southeast Asian theater, conducting military campaigns against the British Indian Army.
However, it is important to note that the INA had its origins in earlier efforts made by Indian nationalists during the First World War, and Bose’s leadership and organizational skills revitalized the movement during World War II, especially during his time in Singapore.
