The 'Azad Hind Government' was formed under the chairmanship of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. This government was recognized by Japan, Germany, Italy and other nations. The Azad Hind government took control of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and hoisted the tricolor there. Andaman was called 'Shaheed' and Nicobar was called 'Swarajya'.

Let's go to Delhi:

The Azad Hind Sena marched from Singapore to make India independent. Announcing 'Let's go to Delhi', the Azad Hind Sena left for India. On entering the Arakan and Kohima regions of India, she fought a fierce battle with the British army. It became impossible to run further campaigns. The torrential rain began. It also became difficult to get help from Japan. Due to these difficulties, the Azad Hind Sena withdrew. On August 18, 1945, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's plane crashed and he died.

Officers of the Azad Hind Sena were captured while against the British. A military court convicted the officers and sentenced them to life in prison, but there were strong protests against the British government. In the end, the punishment was revoked after seeing the public outcry.

Rise of the Navy:

The Azad Hind Sena also had an impact on the Indian Navy and Air Force. They began to think that we should rise up against them for the sake of the motherland, rather than doing the job of the British.

On 18 February 1946, Indian sailors aboard the warship 'Talwar' stationed at the port of Mumbai staged an uprising against the British rule. He lowered the British flag 'Union Jack' on the boat and hoisted the tricolor.

Airmen from Delhi, Lahore, Ambala and Meerut also went on strike, urging the rebels to return to work immediately or face disciplinary action, but to no avail. The anti-British uprising continued. He also got the support of the general public in some places.

The Indian Army was the mainstay of British rule in India. That foot was starting to tingle now. Therefore, the British realized that it was difficult for them to maintain their power in India for a long time.
