This article describes the organisation formed during World War II in Singapore. For the Provisional Government formed by Raja Mahendra Pratap during World War I, see
Provisional Government of India. Arzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind (
Urdu: عارضی حکومتِ آزاد ہند,
Hindi: आर्ज़ी हुक़ूमत-ए-आज़ाद हिन्द, the Provisional Government of Free
India) ( sometimes Azad Hind) was a political movement originating in the 1940s outside of
India with a purpose of freeing India from
British Rule. Established by Indian nationalists-in-exile during the latter part of the second world war in Singapore with monetary, military and political assistance from Imperial Japan, ostensibly to posit and portray legitimacy for the campaign of the
Indian National Army as a liberation force against
British Rule in India. Founded on
October 21,
1943,the government was inspired along the concepts of
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose who was also the leader of the government and the
Head of State of this Provisional Indian Government in Exile. The government proclaimed authority over Indian civilian and military personnel in Southeast Asian British colonial territory and prospective authority over Indian territory to fall to the Japanese forces and the Indian National Army during the
offensive to India during the
Second World War. The government of Azad Hind had its own currency, court and civil code, and in the eyes of many Indians its existence gave a greater legitimacy to the independence struggle against the British.
