Complete answer:
Let us discuss the history of Indian National Army. The British captured India and ruled for more than hundred years. Several patriots of India protested against the British both in violence and non-violence manner for the independence of India. Several leaders followed non-violence way which was led by Mahatma Gandhi. Some leaders notably Subhash Chandra Bose took the violence path. He controlled the Indian National Army, formed by Rash Behari Bose; founder of the Indian National Army. Rash Behari Bose fled to Japan in $1915$ . Bose and A M Nair persuaded the Japanese superior officers to support the Indian Independence league started by Rash Behari Bose. He took a conference in March $28,1942$ at Tokyo; he provoked the emotion to raise an army for the Indian Independence league supported by Japanese. He convened the second conference in June $1942$ in Bangkok where Subhash Chandra Bose was invited and took the command as president of INA. Subhash Chandra Bose fought against British bravely. He went to Germany and met the Hitler . He asked support for the Indian National Army. Due to the loss of World War II ,by Germany, he couldn't get support.
