R.C. Dutt lived in an earlier era and is famous for his book ‘The Economic History of India,’ where he laid out the “Drain Theory.” In contrast, the Azad Hind Fauj was a military force formed during World War II under the leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose. General Mohan Singh was the original founder of the force in Malaya, while Gurdial Singh Dhillon and Shah Nawaz Khan were the face of the INA during the post-war trials. The trials of these officers became a rallying point for Indian nationalists, highlighting the INA’s role in accelerating the end of British rule.
