Mahatma Gandhi Jawaharlal Nehru Bhagat Singh Subhas Chandra Bose |
Subhas Chandra Bose |
The correct answer is Option 4- Subhas Chandra Bose Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose revived the Indian National Army (INA) in 1943. The INA was first established by Mohan Singh in 1942, but it was disbanded after Japan's defeat in the Battle of Midway. Bose arrived in Southeast Asia in 1943 and took over the leadership of the INA. He reorganized the army and renamed it the Azad Hind Fauj (Free Indian Army). The INA fought alongside the Japanese army against the British in Burma and Assam. Bose hoped that by fighting with the Japanese, he could help to liberate India from British rule. However, the INA was defeated in 1945, and Bose was killed in a plane crash. The INA played an important role in the Indian independence movement. It showed the British that the Indian people were willing to fight for their freedom. It also inspired other independence movements around the world. |
