Previous-year question practice database

Answer

Exam answer

The leader is SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE, known as NETAJI.

The political party he formed was the FORWARD BLOC, founded in May 1939 after he resigned as Congress President.

The military organisation he formed was the INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY (Azad Hind Fauj), which he reorganised and led as Supreme Commander from 1943.

Explanation

Three marks: one for the leader, one for the party, one for the army. Be precise about the INA: Bose REORGANISED and led it from 1943, while it had first been raised by Captain Mohan Singh in 1942. Since this question says "formed", give Bose’s role with the date and you are safe either way. His title Netaji, and the Indian name Azad Hind Fauj, are both worth including.
