They served under Indian freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose in the Indian National Army. Because the creation of an Indian all-female regiment of combat soldiers was a radical military innovation in 1943, and because the role of women in today's broader context of Indian culture has become a prevalent and pressing issue, the extensive testimony of the surviving veterans of this unit is timely and urgent. The history of these brave women soldiers is little known, their extraordinary service and the role played by Bose remains largely unexplored."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Originally published: India : HarperCollins Publishers India, 2016 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Bose, Subhas Chandra, 1897-1945.
