Overview

The dust of Punjab clung to his boots like memory itself-gritty, persistent, and impossible to shake. Mohan Singh was not born a general. He was born a boy who watched the sun rise over mustard fields, who listened to the stories of valor whispered by elders around smoky hearths. But history, like a restless tide, was already pulling him toward a storm he could neither see nor resist. The Forgotten General: The True Story of Mohan Singh and the INA By Tathagata Hazari (TG) History often remembers its heroes in headlines, monuments, and speeches. But some heroes live in the margins-quiet, resolute, and unshaken by the absence of applause. General Mohan Singh was one such figure. Before the name Subhas Chandra Bose echoed across continents, before the Indian National Army (INA) marched toward Imphal, there was Mohan Singh-a soldier of the British Indian Army who chose defiance over duty, conscience over command. In 1942, he became the first Indian to raise an army not for empire, but for independence. He built the INA from the ashes of surrender, transforming prisoners of war into patriots with purpose. This book is not a romanticized tale of rebellion. It is a true account of courage, betrayal, sacrifice, and silence. It traces Singh's journey from the battlefields of Malaya to the prison cells of Singapore, from the political chambers of independent India to the quiet corners of his village in Punjab. It reveals the INA's rise and fall, the moral dilemmas of wartime alliances, and the legacy of a man who walked away from power-and into history. Mohan Singh's story is not widely taught. It is not etched into textbooks or carved into stone. But it lives in the spirit of every soldier who salutes the Indian flag, in every citizen who believes that freedom must be earned, not inherited. This book seeks to restore his place in the pantheon of India's freedom fighters-not as a footnote, but as a foundation. It is based on verified historical records, personal memoirs, and military archives. Each chapter is crafted to honour the truth, preserve the memory, and inspire reflection. ""Some men fight for glory. Others fight for freedom. Mohan Singh chose the harder path-and never looked back."" - Tathagata Hazari (TG) To read this story is to walk alongside a man who dared to dream of a free India-before the world believed it was possible. Welcome to The Forgotten General. 10TH August 2025, Kolkata, India.
