Netaji & Azad Hind Fauj:
• Subhas Chandra Bose took over leadership of the Indian National Army (INA/Azad Hind Fauj) on 4 July 1943 at Singapore.
• The Provisional Government of Free India (Arzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind) was established by Netaji at Singapore on 21 October 1943.
• The slogan “Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Main Tumhe Azadi Doonga” is associated with Netaji and the Azad Hind movement; it was used to mobilise Indians for the freedom struggle.
• The INA’s famous military call was “Delhi Chalo”, given by Netaji at Singapore in July 1943.
• “Jai Hind” was popularised by the INA and became a national salutation.
• The women’s wing of INA was the Rani Jhansi Regiment, led by Lakshmi Sahgal; it is regarded as one of the world’s earliest all-women combat units.
• After receiving Andaman & Nicobar Islands from Japan, Netaji renamed them Shaheed Dweep (Andaman) and Swaraj Dweep (Nicobar) in 1943.
• INA advanced with Japanese support up to the Imphal–Kohima sector during World War II.
• The INA Trials were held at the Red Fort, Delhi (1945–46) and generated massive nationalist support across India.
• Motto of Azad Hind Government: “Ittehad, Itmad aur Qurbani” (Unity, Faith and Sacrifice).
• National anthem of Azad Hind Government: “Shubh Sukh Chain”, adapted from Rabindranath Tagore’s Jana Gana Mana.
• Historians often consider the INA movement, INA trials, and the 1946 Royal Indian Navy Mutiny as important factors that increased pressure on the British to quit India.

Chambal River
• Chambal River is the largest southern tributary of the Yamuna River and ultimately forms part of the Ganga river system.
• It originates near Janapav Hills (Vindhyan Range) in Madhya Pradesh and flows through Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh before joining the Yamuna.
• The National Chambal Sanctuary spans three states- MP, Rajasthan and UP.
• Chambal supports the largest viable breeding population of the Critically Endangered Gharial in India.
• Other flagship species here include the Ganges River Dolphin, mugger crocodile, Indian skimmer and several freshwater turtle species.
• Despite multiple dams, Chambal is considered to have the highest conservation value among rivers of the Gangetic basin due to its relatively less-polluted waters & rich aquatic biodiversity.
• Major dams on Chambal (upstream to downstream): Gandhi Sagar – Rana Pratap Sagar – Jawahar Sagar – Kota Barrage.
• The Chambal ravines are famous for badland topography formed by severe soil erosion.
