The '''Azad Hind Dal''' was a branch of the [[Indian Independence League]] that was formed during [[World War II]] to take administrative control of the [[British India|Indian]] territories to fall to the [[Indian National Army]] starting with the latter's [[Imphal campaign]]. The branch was created by [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] to replace the [[Indian Civil Service]] in areas of British India, and is also thought to have been the nascent concept of a one-party political, bureaucratic and civil administrative system similar to that of the anti-fascist [[Soviet Union]] or the [[Fascist]] states of the time. During the brief period that [[Azad Hind]] was in possession of small Indian territories around [[Imphal]] and [[Kohima]] during the [[Operation U-Go|U-Go]] offensive between April and May 1944, parties of the Azad Hind Dal were sent along with the INA contingents to take administrative charge and rehabilitation of these areas.
