Explanation

On October 21, 1943, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose announced the formation of the Provisional Government of Free India, also known as Arzi Hukumat-e-Azad Hind, in Singapore [1][2]. The historic proclamation took place at the Cathay Cinema Hall (or Cathay Building) [1]. Following his arrival in Singapore in July 1943, Bose took over the leadership of the Indian independence movement in East Asia from Rashbehari Bose [2][3]. As the Head of State, Prime Minister, and Supreme Commander of the Indian National Army, Netaji used this government-in-exile to mobilize the Indian diaspora and resources across Southeast Asia [1]. Shortly after the announcement in Singapore, the government declared war on Britain and the United States and received diplomatic recognition from several Axis powers and their allies [2].
