Indian National Army

The indian national army(I.N.A) was the first army formed under the leadership of rash bihari bose and subhash chandra bose in the year 1942 but this army worked only few months between february-december. It was formed with the support of Japanese army after the british-indian army surrendered infront of Japanese army. I.N.A consisted 12,000 of the 40,000 indian prisoners of war who were captured either during the malayan campaign or surrendered at singapore. In june 1942 the I.N.A declared itself a subordinate military wing of indian independence league. In december 1942 it dissolved because of the lack of the distrust between the Japanese army and I.N.A . INA led to disagreements and distrust between Mohan Singh and INA leadership on one hand, and the League's leadership, most notably rash bihari bose, who handed over the Indian National Army to Subhash chandra bose. But later on, the I.N.A soldiers joined the second incarnation of indian national army
