Former Indian National Army Monument, War memorial in Esplanade Park, Singapore

The Former Indian National Army Monument stands at Connaught Drive, featuring a commemorative plaque that honors soldiers who fought for independence.

The foundation stone was laid by Subhas Chandra Bose on July 8, 1945, during the Japanese occupation of Singapore, marking resistance against British rule.

The memorial incorporates three fundamental principles in its design: Unity (Ittehad), Faith (Ittemad), and Sacrifice (Qurbani), reflecting Indian military values.

Located at coordinates 1.2894155, 103.8538924, the monument provides wheelchair access and remains open to visitors throughout the day without entrance fees.

Lord Louis Mountbatten ordered the destruction of the original monument in 1945, but the Indian community funded a new commemorative marker in 1995.
