Question

Select the option that shows the correct relationship between Statements (I) and (II).

(I) The idea of the Indian National Army (INA) was conceived in Malaya by Mohan Singh.

(II) Indian Prisoners of War (POW’s) were handed over by the Japanese to Mohan Singh who inducted them into the INA.

पर्याय

• (II) contradicts (I).

• (II) is the reason for (I).

• (I) is true, but (II) is false.

• (I) and (II) are independent of each other.

Answer 1

(II) is the reason for (I).

Explanation:

Both statements are historically correct. Mohan Singh, a captured Indian officer in Malaya, conceived and started the first incarnation of the INA in Malaya/Singapore after the Japanese handed over captured Indian POWs to him; those POWs provided the manpower he inducted into the INA, so the handing-over of POWs (II) explains and makes possible the conception and formation of the INA by Mohan Singh (I).
