'Aaj se humlog apni desh ki azaadi ke liye ladhengey.' During the 2nd World War, majority of soldiers of British Empire were Indians only. Japanese were eyeing to attack Singapore. They were playing cricket and the Japanese soldiers came in bicycles. Though, the Indian and the Australian soldiers were large in number, but, due to lack of information, the British Empire surrendered for the first time to the Japanese. What did Winston Churchill announce at that juncture ? Indian soldiers were made war of prisoners ! 'Ganji-san !' So, you met Gandhiji ! The British Empire handed over the Indian soldiers to the Japanese Empire. Surinder was confused about what to do ! 'Wafadari kya ? Gaddari kya ?' Maya had a passion of photography. 'Aap ka salute dekh ke yaad aaya'. Netaji Subhash Chandra's speech at Singapore motivated not only Indian soldiers but also the Indians in Singapore to join the 'Azad Hind Fauz' to bring freedom for India.
Mamaji was none other than that Colonel Sodhi. While coming to Singapore as well as Burma, he became emotional and nostalgic. Ek taraf desh ke liye pyar tha, toh doosri taraf Maya ke liye. 'Mere liye dono kahaani ek hee hain.' Netaji also formed a 'Laxmibai Regiment' to allow women also to take up arms, become a soldier to fight for the freedom of India. One of the street flutist became stunned by seeing such a courage from a village girl. Indian National Army captured the bunker at India-Burma border. They started marching towards Imphal. 'The rain killed them one by one.' The Japanese soldier confirmed that no supplies will come from the Japanese Government. In Japan, 'Retreat' means 'Defeat', and a defeated soldier do not remain alive.
That flutist gave the flute to Rasamma as a gift for transforming him as a good person. Many wounded INA soldiers were sent back, but, from the watchtower, both Surinder and Arshad saw a huge batallion of British Army are marching towards them. They kept on fighting. Arshad blew a tank and went to heaven. Maya ran back to find his lover ! Daadi used to say, 'This is the man I love.' 'Agla photo 'Lal Qila' mein jaa ke lenge.' INA soldiers were coined as an army of traitors. But, when the trials were going on, the truth came out. By seeing such patriotism, the people of the entire India nation started revolts against the British Empire. Even the Indian Navy started the revolt and wanted to rename it 'National Royal Indian Navy.' Some history pages can be torn from history books due to politics, but, history is history and truth always prevails. Maya breathed her last as Janki, but, her love towards Surinder never died. Some love stories never die, be it towards your beloved one or for your motherland. In 1996, who died in the India-Burma border to join the batallion of "THE FORGOTTEN ARMY" ?
