Hint: The Indian National army was formed during World war 2. The INA was demolished before the independence of India.

Complete answer:
1)The Indian National army was also known as Azad Hind fauj.
2)It was formed by Indian nationalism and imperial Japan during World war II in Southeast Asia.
3)The aim of INA was to gain independence of India from British rule.
4)It was formed under the guidance of Manmohan Singh in 1942.
5)The first INA collapsed in December 1952 because of the differences between the Indian and Japanese military.
6)Rash Behari Bose handed over the ina to Subhash Chandra Bose. Under the leadership of Subhash Chandra Bose ina revived and was known as the army of boses, the provincial government of free India.
7)The second ina fought along with the Japanese army against the British and commonwealth forces in the campaigns Burma: Imphal and Kohima.
8)The strength of the army was 43000 or more and the Moto was unity, faith and sacrifice.
9)A propaganda campaign called jiffs wise bandh to preserve the loyalty of the sepoy. After INA's formation in 1942 the army was concerned that the further Indian troops would be corrupted by the British Indian army.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: The strength of iron was recorded to fall down at 35000 in March 1945. Bose then requested to give a defensive position on the iravati to INA in wearing a strength from 200 to 3000. This led to the capturing of the troop in small and big arounds and ultimately they surrendered, leading to the fall of INA.
