Previous Year Question
Subhas Chandra Bose hoisted the INA flag at Moirang in 1944. In which of the following states/regions is this town now located?
Correct Answer: D
Detailed Solution
Moirang is located in the present-day Bishnupur district
of Manipur. The official website of the Bishnupur District Administration identifies Moirang in Manipur and records its historical association with the INA.
The INA flag at Moirang on 14 April 1944 was not personally hoisted by Subhas Chandra Bose. An official Government of India record of the Prime Minister's address states that the Azad Hind Fauj, under Colonel Shaukat Malik, unfurled the Tricolour at Moirang in Manipur in April 1944.
The Bishnupur District Administration independently confirms that the INA flag was unfurled at Moirang on 14 April 1944.
