What was the name of the female Regiment constituted as a part of the Azad Hind Fauj by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose?
Explanation
The Rani of Jhansi Regiment was the all-female combat unit of the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army), established by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in July 1943. Named after the legendary Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi, a heroine of the 1857 Revolt, it was one of the first female combat units in modern military history. The regiment was led by Captain Lakshmi Sahgal (née Swaminathan). Its primary objective was to involve Indian women in the armed struggle for independence against British rule. The unit received rigorous military training, including infantry tactics and weapons handling, and served during the Burma Campaign. While other options like 'Veerangana' or 'Bharat Mata' reflect patriotic sentiments, they were not the official names of the INA's female regiment.
