Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Subhas Chandra Bose, a prominent Indian nationalist leader, was convinced that India could
not achieve independence without the use of force, and he believed that a military campaign
was necessary to achieve this goal. In 1942, Bose formed the Indian National Army (INA) with
the help of the Japanese.
Bose travelled to Japan in 1941 to seek their support in the struggle against British rule in
India. The Japanese were interested in having Bose’s help in their own efforts to expand their
influence in Southeast Asia. Bose’s vision was to create a military force to fight against the
British in India with the help of Japanese weapons and training. The INA was formed in
Singapore in September 1942 with the slogan ‘Jai Hind’ (Victory to India). The INA consisted
of soldiers who were primarily from the Indian community in Southeast Asia. They were
trained by Japanese officers and were equipped with Japanese weapons. The INA fought
alongside Japanese forces in Burma and other parts of Southeast Asia during World War II.
Bose’s leadership of the INA and his military campaigns against the British in India made hima popular figure among many Indians. The consequences of the formation of the INA were
significant. The INA’s campaigns against the British in India and the Indian soldiers’ role in the
Burma campaign had a psychological impact on the British forces. The British were shocked
that Indian soldiers had turned against them, undermining their confidence in maintaining
control over India. The INA also had a significant impact on the Indian independence
movement. Bose’s vision of a socialist India with equal rights for all citizens inspired many
Indians. The INA became a symbol of the struggle against British colonialism, and Bose’s
slogan of ‘Jai Hind’ became a rallying cry for the independence movement.
However, the INA’s military campaigns were not successful in achieving their goal of freeing
India from British rule. The INA suffered significant losses in battles, and their efforts were
undermined by the Japanese surrender in 1945.

According to the passage, what was the main reason that ultimately weakened the Indian National Army's (INA) efforts to liberate India from British rule?

According to the passage, what was the main reason that ultimately weakened the Indian National Army's (INA) efforts to liberate India from British rule?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The passage clearly states that the INA's efforts were weakened due to the Japanese surrender in 1945. Since the INA heavily relied on Japanese support for weapons, training, and strategic assistance, the surrender of Japan effectively dismantled the INA's operational capabilities.

2. Other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
   - Gandhi’s death is not mentioned in the passage and historically did not occur in 1945, so it cannot be the cause.
   - The passage does not indicate that British military tactics were inferior; rather, the INA suffered significant losses.
   - There is no mention of lack of support from Indian or British people as a reason for INA's failure.

**Answer:** The Japanese surrender in 1945
