In 1942 C.E, Captain Mohan Singh an Indian soldier in the British army framed the ‘Azad Hind Eauj’ with the help of other Indian soldiers who had surrendered to Japan as war prisoners. However, when Mohan Singh had to resign his post, Rasbihari Bose appointed Subhash Chandra Bose as the chief of the ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ on 4th July 1943. He was given the honorary title of ‘Netaji.’ Netaji gave the slogans ‘Chalo Delhi’ and ‘Jai Hind’ to the Azad Hind Fauj. He toured countries of South-East Asia and appealed to Indians there to sacrifice all for India’s freedom with the words ‘You give me blood and I will give you freedom.’

(‘Turn mujhe khoon do, main tumhe azadi doonga.’) Subhash Chandra Bose established the Aarzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind (Acting Government to free India) in Singapore in October 1943. This government declared war against England and America. Subhash Chandra Bose reorganised the Azad Hind Fauj. He became the Chief of Army and of the Aarzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind. The soldiers were properly trained and divided into various battalions. The Fauj was victorious at many fronts on the Eastern Border of India, but had to retreat dur to shortage of food supply and heavy rain. In this way the contribution of the Azad Hind Fauj towards our freedom struggle was quite noteworthy.
