A Study on The Economic Contributions of Tamilians to the Indian National Army

Author(s) Dr. K Rajmohan
Country India
Abstract The Indian National Army (INA), under the leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose, played a significant role in India’s struggle for independence by mobilising Indians both within and outside the country. Among the overseas Indian communities, Tamilians, particularly those residing in Malaya, Singapore and other parts of Southeast Asia, made notable contributions to the INA movement. This study examines the economic contributions of Tamilians to the Indian National Army with particular emphasis on their financial, material, organisational and voluntary support. The study is descriptive and historical in nature and is based on both primary and secondary sources, including archival records, personal documents, memoirs, letters, speeches, contemporary reports, books, research articles and other historical literature. The available evidence indicates that Tamil participation extended across different socioeconomic groups and was not confined to wealthy individuals. Contributions included donations of money and jewellery, participation in fundraising activities, medical assistance, organisational support and voluntary and military service. Tamil women also played an important role, particularly through their participation in the Rani of Jhansi Regiment. Individuals such as Dr. Lakshmi Sahgal, Janaky Thevar, Saraswathi Rajamani and Rasammah Bhupalan illustrate the diverse forms of Tamil participation in the movement. The study highlights that the contribution of Tamilians to the INA was multidimensional, combining economic sacrifice with active participation in the struggle for national independence.
