Mention any four objectives of the Military Organisation.

(1) To organise an ARMED STRUGGLE and fight the British army with modern arms, marching into India under the battle cry "Chalo Delhi". (2) To achieve the TOTAL MOBILISATION of Indian manpower and money for a total war against the British. (3) To establish a PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF FREE INDIA (Azad Hind) that would take charge of liberated territory and win recognition from other nations — proclaimed at Singapore in October 1943. (4) To build a disciplined force from Indians living abroad and Indian prisoners of war, including the RANI JHANSI REGIMENT of women led by Captain Lakshmi Sahgal, inspired by the motto "Unity, Faith, Sacrifice" and the call "Give me blood and I shall give you freedom".

Four marks, four objectives, one mark each. The word that identifies the INA in every question is ARMED — it is what distinguishes Bose’s approach from every Congress movement, and it should appear in your first point. The Rani Jhansi Regiment and the two quotable slogans make the answer distinctive. Keep these objectives separate from the Forward Bloc’s in part (b) — the paper is testing exactly that distinction.
