Answer 1

Hint: The Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army was the armed force formed to secure Independence for India. The army was formed by Mohan Singh in 1942 in Southeast Asia during world war 2.

Complete answer: The army consisted of committed Indian nationalists who were committed to sacrifice their lives for the freedom of the country. The Army was actually organised under the leadership of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose. The army fought alongside the Japanese soldiers in world war 2. The army under the leadership of Netaji drew ex-prisoners and many civilian volunteers from the overseas Indian population in Malaysia and Burma. The army fought in many battles like Battle of Ngakyedauk, Battle of Imphal, Battle of Pokoku, Battle of Central Burma. The army came to an end in 1945. The troops of INA surrendered at Mount Popa in April 1945.
Looking at the options below:
Option a- Bhagat Singh was a freedom fighter who contributed significantly towards the freedom struggle of India.
Option b- Subash Chandra Bose is the correct answer.
Option c- Maharaja Mahendra Pratap was a freedom fighter who actively took part in the Balkan war. This is not the correct answer.
Option d- C.R. Das was the founding member of the Swaraj Party and is also known as Deshbandhu.

Note: In July 1945 many troops were shipped back to India, the civilians from Malaysia and Burma returned to their normal life and many were not identified. Around November 1945 as many as 12,000 INA prisoners were captured who were released according to their skin colour.
