Correct Answer:

Subhash Chandra Bose

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Subhash Chandra Bose

The Indian National Army (INA), also known as the Azad Hind Fauj, was founded by Subhas Chandra Bose during World War II. Bose, a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement, sought to mobilize Indian forces to fight against British colonial rule. With support from Axis powers, particularly Imperial Japan, Bose organized the INA with the aim of liberating India from British control. The INA recruited Indian prisoners of war and civilians living in Southeast Asia, primarily from among Indian expatriates and soldiers captured by Japanese forces, to join its ranks and fight alongside the Japanese military against the British in Southeast Asia.
