• Azad Hind Fauj was formed by Indian and Japanese collaborations on 21, October 1943.
  • Its aim was to secure Indian Independence from British Rule.
  • Later, Rash Behari Bose handed over INA to Subhas Chandra Bose. 
  • It was revived under the leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose after his arrival in Southeast Asia in 1943.
