Answer 1

The correct option is A a) Only i

Ans.(a)
Women were initially assigned the non-combat roles. But, later due to the protest by women members, they were involved in actual war operations. Subhash Bose also believed in invoking the “spiritual power” of the “mothers and sisters” of India. The Imphal campaign of 1945 was a failure. According to this, they had plans to enter India through the North-East. INA had to retreat in the face of the advancing British army
