Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) Subhash Chandra Bose
Explanation:
– Subhash Chandra Bose assumed command of the Indian National Army (INA) in 1943 after arriving in Southeast Asia and reorganized it under the Provisional Government of Azad Hind.
– He gave the famous battle cry “Chalo Dilli” (March to Delhi) to inspire the INA to liberate India.
– Others in the options played different roles: Mohan Singh first raised the INA in 1942; Rash Behari Bose helped form the Indian Independence League and handed leadership to Subhash Bose; Shah Nawaz Khan was an INA officer but not the supreme leader who coined the “Chalo Dilli” call.
