AGARTALA, Oct 21 (TIWN): 'Azad Hind Samiti' a very old organization formed to fight for freedom fighter Netaji Subash Chandra Bose's deserved honour has celebrated 75th 'Azad Hind Govt' formation which took place in 1943.

The Azad Hind Government was founded on 21st October, 1943, by Neta ji Subhash Chandra Bose who was also the Head of State of this Provisional Indian Government-in-exile.

The Azad Hind Fauz was a part of the freedom movement, originating in 1940s outside India with a purpose of allying with Axis powers to free India from British rule.

The existence of the Azad Hind Government gave a greater legitimacy to the independence struggle against the British.

Pertinently, the role of Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army (INA) had been crucial in bequeathing a much-needed impetus to India’s struggle for Independence.
