Son of a Freedom Fighter Reveals Truth About WW2, Netaji & Japanese Invasion |Dil Hai Hindustani Ep1

In the debut episode of Dil Hai Hindustani, host Meena Singh sits down for a rare and deeply moving interview with the oldest living survivor of the Japanese occupation of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. As a child during World War II, he endured the unthinkable—living under the cruelty of British colonial rule, surviving the brutal Japanese invasion, and losing his father (a dedicated freedom fighter) and loved ones to wartime atrocities. Now 94, his childhood trauma and memories remain as raw as an open wound. In this exclusive conversation, he shares his eyewitness account of seeing Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose arrive in Port Blair and witnessing the historic moment the first Indian flag was hoisted in 1943. Though age and hearing loss made communication challenging, his story provides an extraordinary, innocent child's perspective on the darkest chapter of Indian history. 📌 In This Episode: A child's eyewitness account of the Japanese invasion of Andaman & Nicobar The martyrdom of his father during World War II Seeing Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in Port Blair in 1943 Witnessing the first hoisting of the Indian flag The hidden atrocities of the British and Japanese regimes in WWII India 👤 About Dil Hai Hindustani & Meena Singh: Welcome to Dil Hai Hindustani, hosted by Meena Singh.
