The INA War Memorial at Singapore commemorating the "Unknown Warrior"

 

Under an overcast sky, round forty five,000 Indian soldiers gathered in a soccer subject known as Farrer Park in Singapore. Addressing the crowd, Major Fujiwara of the Imperial Japanese Army gave a name to kind Azad Hind Fauj.

They took advantage of the finest way Indian troopers had been treated in the British Indian Army – and the intensifying nationalist sentiment in India. The INA War Memorial at Singapore commemorating the "Unknown Warrior" of the INA was unveiled by Bose in July 1945. Situated on the Esplanade Park, it was destroyed on Mountbatten's orders when Allied troops reoccupied the town. In 1995, the National Heritage Board of Singapore, with financial donations from the Indian neighborhood in Singapore, erected the Former Indian National Army Monument on the web site the place the old memorial stood.

Bose was dwelling in Germany at the time and made the journey to Japan by way of submarine. Das had described the exhibit as a “humble try to recreate Azad Hind Radio” to offer visitors a feel of how it functioned as a part of Netaji’s provisional government of Azad Hind. On Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's 123rd start anniversary on Thursday, filmmaker Kabir Khan opened up on the hero who, he feels, has been forgotten despite taking half in a serious position in India''s struggle for Independence. In the Singapore campaign alone, forty five,000 Indian prisoners of struggle had been captured.
