During the Second World War, a large contingent of the British Indian Army fought against the Axis powers. Japan, during the course of its victories against the Allies, had captured about 40,000 Indian soldiers as prisoners of war. These prisoners were organised into the Indian Independence League by Rash Behari Bose, an Indian revolutionary in Japan. The stated objective of the Indian Independence League was to collaborate with the enemies of England and drive the British colonialists out of India. Building on this groundwork, the Indian National Army was formed by Captain Mohan Singh in September 1942.
