Netaji, one of the leading lights of the Indian freedom struggle, set up the INA during World War II to take on the British Indian Army.
A former Congress President and once a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi, Bose's reported death in a plane crash in Formosa, now Taiwan, in 1945 has remained a mystery.
