A first-of-its-kind documentary chronicles the stories of Malaysian veterans of the Indian National Army and its Rani of Jhansi regiment, who were inspired by Netaji to fight for India's independence from the far-flung lands of Southeast Asia.
As India marked the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, a first-ever documentary chronicles the stories of Malaysian veterans of the Indian National Army and its Rani of Jhansi regiment who, inspired by Netaji, joined in the fight for India's independence from the distant lands of Southeast Asia.
"The film is an attempt to see Netaji, the Indian National Army and the Rani of Jhansi regiment through the eyes of the Malaysian veterans who fought alongside Netaji,” India's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador T S Tirumurti, the then High Commissioner of India to Malaysia, says in the documentary.
The 30-minute documentary ‘At the Altar of India's Freedom INA Veterans of Malaysia', made in 2018, has been directed by journalist Choodie Shivaram and was produced by Tirumurti and the High Commission of India in Malaysia.
Tirumurti tweeted Saturday, “1st time ever: INA Veterans of Malaysia on #NetajiSubhasChandraBose. On #Netaji125 watch 'At the Altar of India's Freedom' Malaysian women/men fight for India. Producer @hcikl (when I was High Commissioner to Malaysia) & Director/Creator Choodie Shivaram.”
