Question Asked : 39th BPSC (Pre) 1994
The Indian National Army (INA) was the brain child of Giani Pritam Singh Dhillon along with Major Fujimura and Captain Mohan Singh in February/March, 1942. While there Giani Pritam Singh became actively involved in the Indian Independence Movement and Gadar Party. He was instrumental in the failed 1915 mutiny, that he stirred among a Bengal Lancers regiment. The authorities started hunting him. He fled via Burma to Bangkok, in 1919, where some Indian revolutionaries from other parts of India were living. Once in Bangkok, he mingled with the local Sikh community and through his missionary work began spreading the message of the Gadar party. Then he met with Iwaichi Fujiwara, head of the Japanese field intelligence section in the region, who had even before the declaration of war by Japan, reached an agreement of collaboration with the Japanese at Bangkok on 4 December, 1941.lt was Giani Pritam Singh’s idea working with Iwaichi Fujiwara who released Indian soldiers who were asked to join an Indian National Army to fight for Indian independence. These plans were started long before the war broke out, among a group of revolutionaries based in Bangkok. Thus, Capt. Mohan Singh was not the founder of INA, but was only the first operational Commander of the INA. He accepted the position on Giani Ji and Iwaichi Fujiwara insistence. The brains behind INA were Iwaichi Fujiwara and Giani Pritam Singh Dhillon.
