Subhas Chandra Bose’s declaration as Prime Minister of the Provisional Government of Free India (Azad Hind) in 1943 marked a pivotal moment in India’s independence struggle, emphasizing his commitment to armed resistance and international alliances during a time of global conflict. This article explores the historical context leading up to his declaration, highlighting the ideological rift within the Indian independence movement and India’s involvement in World War II. Bose’s formation of the Indian National Army (INA) and his revolutionary leadership galvanized Indian nationalism, uniting the diaspora and drawing global attention to India’s fight for freedom. While the Provisional Government received recognition from Axis powers, its impact was constrained by the lack of support from major Allied nations. The INA’s subsequent trials stirred nationalist sentiments and ultimately accelerated India’s path to independence. Bose’s legacy endures as a symbol of courage and determination, inspiring future movements and emphasizing the importance of empowerment and self-reliance in the ongoing quest for justice.
