Azad Hind Radio
The Azad Hind Radio was a propaganda station that was founded in Germany in 1942 under the direction of Subhas Chandra Bose to get the Indians to fight for freedom against British colonial rule in the spirit of Bose . Initially based in Germany, the station was soon relocated to Singapore and later, following the course of the war in Southeast Asia, to Rangoon . After Bose's departure to Southeast Asia, the organizational matters in Germany were handled by AC Narayanan Nambiar , an Indian diplomat and later ambassador of the Arzi Hukumate Azad Hind government ( Provisional Government of Free India ) in Germany.
The station broadcast weekly news in English , Hindi , Tamil , Bengali , Marathi , Punjabi , Pashto and Urdu , the languages spoken by most members of the Indian Legion in Germany and the Indian National Army in Southeast Asia.
Azad Hind Radio tried to counteract the broadcasts of the Allied radio stations by propaganda. For example, on Azad Hind Radio, Bose referred to the British Broadcasting Corporation as Bluff and Bluster Corporation and All India Radio as Anti-Indian Radio .
