tokyo
at the onset of world war ii in 1939, puri also came to form the indian national council that, along with giani pritam singh's indian independence league, was instrumental in stimulating the evolving japanese interest in supporting armed indian resistance for the indian freedom movement. singh and puri were amongst the first people to negotiate with fujiwara iwaichi and the f kikan regarding japanese policies in an effort to obtain a commitment about the support of the movement that ultimately saw the foundation of the indian independence league and the indian national army. both puri and pritam singh were among the indian delegates killed in a plane crash en route to the tokyo conference in march 1942. the swami satyananda puri foundation was established by the thai-bharat cultural lodge in 1942 in his honour. the sspf library today is a reference library that houses many old and rare indian texts. the foundation is also involved in promoting work on indian culture, especially on the ramayana.

the indian independence league (also known as iil) was a political organisation operated from the 1920s to the 1940s to organise those living outside india into seeking the removal of british colonial rule over india. founded in 1928 by indian nationalists, the organisation was located in various parts of southeast asia and included indian expatriates, and later, indian nationalists in-exile under japanese occupation following japan's successful malayan campaign during the first part of the second world war. during the japanese occupation in malaya, the japanese encouraged indians in malaya to join the indian independence league.
