INA Trials

INA Trials refer to a series of legal proceedings against Indian National Army (INA) officers during World War II, conducted by the British colonial government in India. The INA, led by figures like Subhas Chandra Bose, aimed to secure India's independence from British rule with Japanese support. The trials, starting in 1945, were controversial and sparked widespread protests, as many viewed the accused as national heroes rather than traitors. The events highlighted growing anti-colonial sentiment in India and ultimately fueled the momentum for independence, which was achieved in 1947.
