'''Azad Hind Radio''' was a radio service that was started under the leadership of [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] and [[Adolf Hitler]] in [[Nazi Germany]] in 1942 to encourage [[India]]ns to fight for the [[Axis powers]]. Though initially based in Nazi Germany, its headquarters were shifted to Japanese occupied [[Singapore]], and later to [[Hyderabad]], following the course of the war in [[South East Asia|Southeast Asia]]. After Netaji's departure to Southeast Asia, the German operations were continued by [[A.C.N. Nambiar]], the head of the [[Indische Legion|Indian Legion]] in Nazi Germany and later ambassador of the [[Arzi Hukumate Azad Hind]] in Germany.<ref name=oocities>{{cite web|title=Netaji's Addresses on Azad Hind Radio|url=http://www.oocities.org/vayujeet/netaji.html|publisher=oocities.org|access-date=19 February 2014}}</ref><ref name=hindustantimes>{{cite web|last=Afridi |first=Sahroz |title=Freedom struggle on air |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/bhopal/freedom-struggle-on-air/article1-1031782.aspx |publisher=Hindustan Times |access-date=19 February 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140313024912/http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/bhopal/freedom-struggle-on-air/article1-1031782.aspx |archive-date=13 March 2014 |df=dmy }}</ref><ref name=newindianexpress>{{cite web|title=Netaji to come alive on Azad Hind Radio|url=http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/article144419.ece#.UwTbAGKSyBI|publisher=newindianexpress.com|access-date=19 February 2014}}</ref><br />
