ICS Subhash Chandra and Engineer Stratchi knew about this courtesy. Netaji examined minutely all the models one by one. Then suddenly he stopped before one model. It’s a very simple model with a simple design. It is a pillar with three heads on top. It has no ornamental craftsmanship, on slogan written on it except three famous slogans of INA – Ittefaq, Itmad and Kurbani.

Looking at the Engineer, the Supreme Commander said, Cornel, I want it to be completed before the British Army lands here. It should be on the bank of the sea in Singapore. Will that be possible for you to fulfill my wish? Col. Stratchy respectfully lowering his head replied – of course it will be possible to complete, Sir.
Salute the real hero of Indian freedom
As soon as the British Army landed on Singapore, on the order of Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten, the Sahid miner immediately had been destroyed with dynamite.
These saying may fit on the statues of any country without prejudice – no grudge against any enemy – no evil utterance against enemy is expressed in these words. Not only Azad Hind Fauz, but also people of any country uttered these three words before their death.

Col. Stratchy knew what a promise he has made. This huge statue will take at least two to three week’s time to erect. Though neither I nor my colleagues can predict when the enemy army will land on this land. We have to surrender immediately after their landing, leaving the work unfinished. Under this circumstance, it would be very difficult to arrange for a contractor to build the minar. As that time all will be busy fleeing out of here. Yet, that dauntless soldier assured him saying – Sir, rest assure, I will finish this work at any cost- I give my word.
Netaji holding his hand and pressing it said – I knew you will be able to finish the work. Freeing his right hand, Stratchy stood up and saluted him – uttering Jai Hind!
He immediately left the room to start his works. Not a single minute is to be wasted. Col. Stratchy, Capt. Malik and their colleagues really made possible an impossible task. They finished the work before British Army could capture Singapore. Sahid miner is the symbol of all those brave hearted Indians who sacrificed their lives for the sake of mother India’s Freedom. Netaji laid the foundation stone of that miner who also gave the shape and name of that statue: The day the work on the statue finished, all the INA personnel came to garland the statue. They then saw that the statue is also the remembrance of their own Netaji.

I have not seen the war in Europe with my own eyes and I don’t know how much dangerous destruction took place there. But, I had the privilege to witness various dangerous destructions with my own eyes here in this war of East Asia. Such happenings are usual in the Warfield. But, I know about four such incidences which were much more dangerous and hurtaining than this one – which remains alive, like the most heinous act in the pages of history. Out of the four such acts – one was committed by Japan and another one by USA. Before the declaration of the war, dropping of bombs on the Pearl Harbor by Japan was the first such shameful crime, and the other still much more worse and shameful incidence committed by USA by dropping Atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki port. Both those acts committed there were as barbarous as imaginable. But, America committed another such barbarian act which can’t be excused. I was an eye witness to that act. It was occurred on Saturday, the 10th February 1945. During day light, an US flying fortress B-29 bomber bombarded our Miang hospital at Rangoon, clearly ignoring the flag with the Red Cross sign flying on the top of the building. The purposefully raided the hospital building for nearly one hour and destroyed the entire building and killing many a number of sick patients.
