The correct answer is option 2: Singapore.
Subhash Chandra Bose, a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement, established the provisional Government of Free India in Singapore during World War II. Bose believed that armed struggle against the British Empire was necessary for India`s independence, and he sought support from the Axis powers during the war.
Singapore was strategically located and had a significant Indian population, making it an ideal location for Bose to set up his government. He declared Singapore as the capital of Free India and formed the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army) to fight alongside the Japanese forces against the British. Bose`s government and the Indian National Army played a crucial role in the independence movement and inspired many Indians to continue the fight for freedom.
