India's Freedom Struggle and the Great I.N.A. by Maj Gen M Z Kiani translated to Bharoter Shadhinota Shongram ebong Mohan INA by Mr PK Mukhpadhyay was launched at 42nd Kolkata International Book Fair 2018. Maj Gen Kiani won the prestigious Sword of Honour & Gold Medal for the most Outstanding Cadet in 1935 from Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. Gen Kiani had a bright military career ahead of him. He was an officer in 1st Battalion 14th Punjab Regiment under the Britishers. But he resigned his commission to join the I.N.A under Netaji. He was Chief of General Staff under General Mohan Singh of I.N.A. Maj Gen Kiani chose to move to Pakistan after Partition in 1947. He wrote this book in Pakistan. The book was published after his death as a collaborative project between Maj. Gen. Chand Narain Das & Sh Sisir Kumar Bose. This is author's personal account of the INA Maj Gen Kiani . “GREAT" may sound pompous especially to those who are unfriendly or unsympathetically disposed either to author or to the I.N.A, but having seen it from close quarters the author considered the appellation as justified and filling...” But what, to my mind, makes the movement 'Great' is that it shook the core, the very foundations of the nearly two centuries old British Empire in India..
