And yes, I remember the time when an intelligence officer
from the British army infiltrated our ranks. Co-incidentally,
even he was called Hari Ram. I met him but did not know then
that I was face to face with the enemy.
Later on, when I was put into a concentration camp in Multan,
I saw him again. This time he was on the enquiry panel set
up to interrogate the prisoners. Only then did I realise that
back the namesake I had met was our enemy!
After our retreat from Rangoon, we were taken prisoners by
the Britisth and I was labelled a black cat by the Britishers
for my activities. Bad character. Dangerous.
The Japanese had high regard for Netaji. When Netaji came
to inspect our camps, the Japanese would first immediately
check the camps thoroughly, ensure tight security and follow
him closely.
(Lt Hari Ram was in the intelligence group of the INA.
This group goes before the troop advances to collect vital
information about the topography of the area and tactical
points to lauch attacks from)
