 Return
of the Andamans |
|
| For Indians the return
of the Andamans represents the first territory to be liberated
from the British yoke. By the acquisition of this territory,
the Provisional Government has now become a national entity
in fact as well as in name. |

A
Word to the Rich
|
|
|
| Look at those who have
volunteered to join the Indian national army and who are now
getting the necessary training. They do not know how many of
them will live to see India free. |

The
Call
|
|
| Friends! Countrymen!
Today I have the privilege of sending you my heartiest greetings
from the soil of independent Burma. Let the example of liberated
Burma inspire us all to commence our last attack on British
imperialism. |
|
|
|
|
|
To
Delhi, To Delhi!
|
|
| Soldiers of India's
Army of Liberation! Today is the proudest day of my life. Today
it has pleased Providence to give me the unique privilege, and
honour, of announcing to the whole world that India's Army of
Liberation has come into being. |

Treachery
|
|
| Comrades, as you know,
the positive achievements of the officers and men of the Azad
Hind Fauj last year on the field of battle and the victories
that they scored over the enemy through their patriotism, bravery
and self-sacrifice, were marred to some extent by the cowardice
and treachery of a few officers and men. |
|
|
|
Deny
all help to Britain
|
|
| At this stage of our
struggle for the complete freedom of India, no power on earth
can prevent me from arriving in your midst. All Indians should
take advantage of the present trend of world events to achieve
their objective. |
|
|
|
|
The
Pledge of the INA
|
|
| Brave Soldiers! Today
you have taken an oath that you will fight the enemy till the
last breath of your life, under the national tricolour. From
today, you are the soldiers of the Indian National Army of Free
India. You have volunteered to shoulder the responsibility of
40 crore Indians. From today, your mind, might and money belong
to the Indian nation. |

This
War and Its Significance
|
|
| Countrymen and friends!
I want to deal, in the first place, with the meaning of this
war, and the historical facts lying behind it. Well, this war
is a clash between the forces that want to maintain status quo
in the world and the new forces that are determined to destroy
it in order to usher in a new order. The former includes the
Anglo-American imperialistic powers that have been masquerading
under the cloak of freedom and democracy. |
