Overview: Subhas Chandra Bose, 1897-1945, Indian statesman.
On February 15th, 1942, at Singapore, some eighty-five thousand men, the remainder of the British forces in Malaya, surrendered to the Japanese. About twenty thousand more had already been killed or had previously been captured. The final surrender was the culmination of a disaster as complete and dramatic as any that has befallen British arms anywhere in the world; in the East, there had been nothing like it since the annihilation of a British army in the gorges of the Kabul River just a hundred years before. Of the troops who fell into Japanese hands, more than half, nearly sixty thousand altogether, were Indians; in the course of their captivity, rather less than half of them, about twenty-five thousand, threw off their allegiance and joined what was called the Indian National Army; this was the army of ‘Free India’, a ‘provisional government’ that claimed to be a national state under the Presidency of Subhash Chandra Bose the subject of this book and to be allied with the Japanese. In military law, they thus committed the offences of mutiny, desertion and waging war against the King.
