Indian National Army

   Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Indian National Army

In World War II, force recruited to fight for the Japanese from Indian prisoners of war by Subhas Chandra Bhose, a disaffected Indian nationalist politician.

It was intended to assist the Japanese in defeating the British in India, but most of those who volunteered did so as a means of escaping the prison camps with the intention of deserting to the Allies as soon as the opportunity arose.
