These soldiers marched onto Delhi with cries of ‘Challo Dilli’ to free India from the unjust and cruel reign of the British empire. This troupe of soldiers was led by Netaji Subash Chandra Bose who also paved the way to the first-ever woman infantry regiment in the world. The soldiers fought against all odds to free India from the clutches of British Raj, despite that their struggle somehow got lost and they became 'the forgotten army'.
