Which party was founded by Subhash Chandra Bose in the year 1939 after he broke away from the Congress?
Explanation
Subhas Chandra Bose resigned from the Indian National Congress in 1939 and immediately announced the formation of the Forward Bloc as a vehicle to unite radical and left-wing elements within the Congress; he was subsequently removed from his Congress positions in August 1939 [1]. Standard textbook chronologies likewise record Bose’s resignation and the Forward Bloc’s formation in 1939, identifying it as the party he set up after breaking away from the Congress leadership that opposed his methods [2]. The other options are inaccurate for 1939: the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army) was organised later in the early 1940s, while 'Indian Freedom Party' and 'Revolutionary' are not the historical names of Bose’s 1939 organisation.
