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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten General: The True Story of Mohan Singh and the INA\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBy Tathagata Hazari (TG)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHistory 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.\u003cbr\u003eBefore 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.\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003eMohan 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.\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Some men fight for glory.
