In Episode 163 of Fexingo History, Lucas and Luna explore a lesser-known arm of Subhas Chandra Bose's Azad Hind movement: the Intelligence Bureau (IB) he established in Singapore in 1943. While previous episodes covered the INA's military campaigns, spy networks in Burma, and radio propaganda, this episode zooms in on the IB's structure, key personnel, and operations. Lucas explains how Bose modeled the bureau on British intelligence, recruited agents from the Indian diaspora in Malaya, and ran counter-intelligence against Japanese Kempetai and British spies. The conversation highlights the IB's role in gathering political intelligence, infiltrating British Indian Army units, and coordinating with the Indian Independence League. Specific figures discussed include Abid Hasan Safrani (who later became a key aide), and the little-known IB chief, N. Raghavan. Lucas also touches on the IB's rapid decline after the fall of Rangoon in 1945, and how its records were largely destroyed, leaving a fragmentary historical trail. The episode ends with a reflective question about the cost of secrecy in liberation movements. #SubhasChandraBose #AzadHind #IndianNationalArmy #IntelligenceBureau #Singapore #AbidHasanSafrani #N.Raghavan #Kempetai #IndianIndependenceLeague #WorldWarII #SoutheastAsia #Malaya #BritishIndianArmy #CounterIntelligence #History #FexingoHistory #Decolonization #LiberationMovements Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
