Janaki Thevar, Born: 25 February 1925, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Died: 9 May 2014, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Can you all imagine that petitions were written in blood to allow them to participate in the battlefield and other causes for their motherland. Further, most of the Ranis were totally unaware of Bharat as they had never set their foot on Bharat aforetime.

As a 14 year old, Janaky Thevar once attended a rally of Bose and was so enthralled by his idealism that she handed over her expensive diamond earring to INA as a part of fund raising drive. Despite her father’s strident opposition, she signed up with INA and rose up in the ranks to become the second commander of Rani Jhansi Brigade.’’
Janaky Thevar or now known as Puan Sri Janaki Athi Nahappan was 17, when she left her affulent life in Malaya and responded to Subash Chandra Bose’s call for an armed force with which to liberate India. In fact she became second in Command of the Rani of Jhansi Regiment. Of which she was part of the marathon walk from rangoon to bangkok as the ina retreated. After the war Janaky became a welfare activist .

Bela Mukherjee, an unsung Daughter of INA.
Very few know that a women branch in Rani Jhansi Regiment was established under Bela Mukherjee as its Secretary when Jhansi Rani Regiment was raised. She played Pivotal role along with Capt Lakshmi Sehegal when women were being recruited.

She was tasked with role in Publicity, Recruitment, Collection of Fund and Materials.

Women answered the call to fight for Indian Independence and joined the force. The unit was raised in July 1943 with volunteers from the expatriate Indian population in Southeast Asia.The unit was named the "Rani Jhansi Regiment" after Rani Lakshmi Bai, Rani of Jhans, a renowned Indian queen and freedom fighter.

The women wore khaki uniform like the men. It was found that the ordinary Lee-Enfield 303 rifle was rather too big for them (most of the women belonged to South India), so it was arranged to obtain either the Ross pattern (Canadian) or the Dutch type of rifle, as was used in Indonesia. These were lighter and shorter but these had one disadvantage—the bayonet could not be fixed on many of these types of rifles; so instead of bayonets they carried short swords.

Bose on Veer Savarkar “Mr Savarkar is one of the most romantic figures that the Swadeshi movement of the first decade of the century threw upon the Indian scene. Cast in the mould in which true heroes are made, the whole career of this brave son of Maharastra is one long thrilling tale of daring dreams and adventures with their inevitable concomitant in life-long sufferings. All eyes in the country turned on him when he came out to breathe free air after continuous confinement for the incredible period of twenty-five years. A lesser man would have been thoroughly squeezed out by this repression, but Mr Savarkar stood the test well and brought back absolutely unimpaired the originally rich dower of Nature to him—a keen intellect and a singularly dynamic character. What a startling amount of steel he has in his mental make-up!

To INA families, please help with photographs to let people know about the unknown history of INA.
This is the Photo of Lt Piare Singh shared by his grandson Karanbir Singh ji ...

The Arakan armies fought so bravely that the enemy was forced to leave the Buthidaung area and erect
defences near Chittagaong. Lt. Col. Misra and Major Mehar Das were decorated with the Sardar-i-Jang for outstanding bravery in Arakan battles. Lt. Pyare Singh, a platoon commander under Col. Misra, received the Veer-i-Hind'.

Lt. Pyare Singh lost one leg and received bullet wounds in his other leg. Honouring the brave Lieutenant before a full I.N.A. parade and in the presence of all the Ministers of the Burma Government, Netaji said : “By honour-ing Lt. Pyare Singh with the medal, I feel myself honoured and not only myself, but the Azad Hind Government is also honoured by it."

Sub Officer Hakim Ali fought against 30 of theenemy with only seven soldiers under his command andkille killed most of the enemy in combat. Hakim Ali was awarded the Tamgha-i-Bahaduri and the Shatru
Nash Medals. Excellent reports reached Government Headquarters

Learnt from Karanbir bhai ya, his grandson . ..... I just know very little that when he got injured he was admitted in rangoon hospital and also he shared that when he got injured when they were taking him to hospital he was so heavy they were struggling to lift him so they made stretcher with blanket tied it with bamboo sticks and they dragged him to hospital his back was also scratched ,he was so badly injured that he was requesting them to shoot him but they took him to hospital and there netaji came to give him medal .. .........
........The britishers imprisoned him with other freedom fighters in red fort and the family also thought that he was dead but after few years he managed to write a letter to the family through some one to inform them about him self and then my fathers elder brothers and my grandfathers brother visited him in red fort and then after 8 to 9 years he came back to home So this is the story im aware about. . . . . . . .

There were unknown SIKH WOMEN TOO JOINED JHANSI RANI REGIMENT ON THE CALL OF NETAJI.

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏TEJ KAUR ji 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
OF JHANSI RANI REGIMENT OF AZAD HIND FAUZ , FORMED BY NETAJI . She received training of how to use Rifles and Guns in the battlefields. She underwent military and combat training with drills, route marches as well as weapons training in rifles, hand grenades, and bayonet charges..

Sikh women, too, answered the call to fight for Indian Independence and joined the force. They came from the Straits Settlements, Malaya and some came from Siam, Shanghai etc .

The unit was raised in July 1943 with volunteers from the expatriate Indian population in Southeast Asia.The unit was named the "Rani Jhansi Regiment" after Rani Lakshmi Bai, Rani of Jhans, a renowned Indian queen and freedom fighter.

The women wore khaki uniform like the men. It was found that the ordinary Lee-Enfield 303 rifle was rather too big for them (most of the women belonged to South India), so it was arranged to obtain either the Ross pattern (Canadian) or the Dutch type of rifle, as was used in Indonesia. These were lighter and shorter but these had one disadvantage—the bayonet could not be fixed on many of these types of rifles; so instead of bayonets they carried short swords.

However some names have come to light.

Mr. Rajindar Singh Bedij ji has done somevreserch work on it. He in one of his article stated that.

In December 1943 a Mrs. Gurudayal Kaur arrived in Singapore from Bangkok with eight other women to join up.

There was also a Gian kaur, a daughter of a very wealthy Bangkok landlord, who joined up.

From Kelantan 16 years old Jaswant Kaur joined in May 1944. She was married to a soldier of the Indian army. She is reported to have collected money and clothing for the war effort.

Deep Kaur, daughter of Shamir Singh, a driver of the Singapore Traction Company, was also a volunteer.

At the passing out parade of the first batch of volunteers there is mention of a Sathiawant Kaur who came first in nursing course

Gurdit Kaur who was placed third in rifle shooting contest.

Guru Updesh Kaur, the daughter of a Police Interpreter from Seremban, joined in August 1943.

Netaji conducting the war in the Mingladan front. Splinters were scattering round him, bullets whizzed past his ears, but Netaji wouldn't move an inch. "The British have yet to make that bullet which can kill Subhas Bose", he said.

Thanks to Pathiv Dhar da for reminding this
