A. 1 and 2 only✓ Correct Answer
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1, 2 and 3
💡 Solution & Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct because Captain Mohan Singh founded the initial framework of the INA, and Subhas Chandra Bose reorganized it in Singapore, establishing the Azad Hind government recognized by several Axis powers. Statement 3 is incorrect because although INA forces advanced up to Moirang in Manipur and hoisted the national flag, the siege of Imphal failed due to supply shortages and monsoon onset, preventing a permanent administrative consolidation on Indian soil.
