The Indian National Army Is Formed

The first Indian National Army was organised in Southeast Asia in 1942 from Indian prisoners of war under Mohan Singh, within the wider political framework associated with Rash Behari Bose and the Indian Independence League. Subhas Chandra Bose later assumed leadership and reorganised the INA in 1943.
