Government of Free India

The Government of Free India, also commonly known as the Azad Hind, is a country in South Asia that controls the state of Bengal and surrounding areas and holds suzerainty over Bhutan. It borders the Republic of India to the west, the Kingdom of Nepal, Kingdom of Sikkim and Tibet to the north, and the Union of Burma to the east. It is an ally of the Empire of Japan, led by Head of State and Prime Minister Subhas Chandra Bose, and a member of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

Azad Hind is a nation born of unfortunate circumstances. Originally founded with the purpose of liberating India with the help of Japan, things quickly turned sour as Britain fell during Operation Sea Lion and could thus no longer exert its grip over the Subcontinent. It was a major ally of Japan in the Myanmar front during World War II. Rather than joining the Azad Hind as their one government, the people of India formed their own nation.

History

The Azad Hind was formed during the days of the British Raj. As the independence movement in India took its momentum, Subhas Chandra Bose was a member of the Indian National Congress (INC). In the late 1930s, he left the Congress and established the All India Forward Bloc. Which had strong support in the eastern part of India.

From 1940 onwards, Bose began to secretly met both Adolf Hitler and the Japanese government. The INC appreciated Bose's effort for independence but began to criticize him for his role with Hitler and the Japanese government. The INC arrested Bose multiple times, but Bose escaped.

Bose with the help of the Japanese and a number of British Raj POWs, formed the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) in 1942, playing a decisive role in Japanese operations in Burma and north-east India. The INA was awarded by the Japanese for their bravery in the Burma campaign. The Provisional Government of Free India was established by 1943. However, it was only recognized by the Axis powers and their allies. It controlled Bengal, Sikkim, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.

At the same time, the British Empire collapsed. The INC declared its independence in 1943 and established the Republic of India the very same year.

Ideology

The Government of Free India is influenced by the words and beliefs of Netaji Subhas Chandras Bose including his organisation, the Indian Egalitarian Union. Bose believes in violent struggle for independence. Along with it, he wants a unified India with a strong military and good discipline. Bose and most of the HSS support of complete freedom for India, with a classless society and state socialism.
