The '''Indian National Council''' was an organisation founded in December 1941 in [[Bangkok]] by [[Indian independence movement|Indian Nationalists]] residing in [[Thailand]].<ref name=Bhargava210>{{Harvnb|Bhargava|1982|p=210}}</ref> The organisation was founded from the [[Thai-Bharat Cultural Lodge]] on 22 December 1941.<ref name=Corr105/> The founding president of the Council was [[Prafulla Kumar Sen|Swami Satyananda Puri]], along with [[Debnath Das]] as the founding secretary.<ref name=Corr105>{{harvnb|Corr|1975|p=105,106}}</ref><ref name=Kratoska173>{{harvnb|Kratoska|2002|p=173}}</ref> Along with the [[Indian Independence League]], it came to be one of the two prominent Indian associations that corresponded with [[I Fujiwara]]'s [[F Kikan]] on the scopes of Japanese assistance to the Indian movement.<ref name=Kratoska173/><ref name=Ghosh41>{{Harvnb|Ghosh|1969|p=41,42}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, the Indian National Council emphasised solidarity with the [[Indian National Congress]] and, at a time when Japan began her successful [[Malayan Campaign]], the council reflected the Congress leadership's reluctance to appear [[Quisling]] of the Japanese.<ref name=SBose289>{{Harvnb|Bose|1975|p=289}}</ref> The council also had differences with the [[Indian Independence League]], with Puri openly questioning Tokyo's anti-imperialist credibility in light of her actions in [[Korea]] and [[China]].<ref name=Kratoska174>{{harvnb|Kratoska|2002|p=174}}</ref> Puri was killed in a plane crash, along with [[Giani Pritam Singh]] en route to the Conference in Tokyo in 1942 that saw [[Rash Behari Bose]] accepted as the leader of the expatriate Indian movement in South-east Asia. Later, the council sent delegates to attend the [[Bangkok Conference]].<ref name=Kratoska175>{{harvnb|Kratoska|2002|p=175,176}}</ref><br />
