Passage

As soon as Japan entered the war, Subhas Chandra Bose received a call from
Rash Behari Bose, the veteran revolutionary who had settled down in Japan and had
organised the Indians in South-East Asia to work for India's freedom, under the Indian
Independence League. Subhas left Germany in a German U-boat for Madagascar,
where he was transferred to a Japanese submarine. He arrived in Tokyo, met General

Tojo, the Japanese Prime Minister, and persuaded him to issue a declaration
promising full Independence to India in case Japan defeated Britain. Reaching
Singapore, he took over the leadership of the Indian Independence movement and set


up a provisional Government of Free India which was recognised immediately by
Japan, Germany, Italy, Burma, Thailand, Nationalist China and the Philippines.




Thus began the most glorious chapter in the life of Subhas Chandra Bose. He


displayed tremendous energy and organisational skill in recruiting, training and
financing the Indian National Army. The Indian soldiers and civilians in South-East
Asia at once declared their allegiance to him and began to call him 'Netaji'. He gave
them the inspiring call of 'Jai Hind' and 'Dilli Chalo'.

sign I thought whatever you do, don't extract any ore it's against the law. I did not do
any stopping- and I move the case be dismissed." The judge understood the
