however, in political terms bose may have been successful, owing to events that occurred within india after the war. after the war, the soldiers and officers of the free india legion were brought as prisoners to india, where they were to be brought to trial in courts-martial along with indians who were in the ina. their stories were seen as so inflammatory that, fearing mass revolts and uprisings across the empire, the british government forbade the bbc from broadcasting about them after the war. not much is known of any charges made against free india legion soldiers, but the indian national army trials that were initiated had the sentences they issued commuted or charges dropped, after widespread protest and several mutinies. as a condition of independence readily agreed to by the inc, members of the free india legion and ina were not allowed to serve in the post-independence indian military, but they were all released before independence. once the stories reached the public, there was a turnaround in perception of the azad hind movement from traitors and collaborators to patriots. although the authorities expected to improve the morale of their troops by prosecuting the azad hind volunteers, they only contributed to the sentiment among many members of the military that they had been on the wrong side during the war. according to historian michael edwardes, the "ina and free india legion thus overshadowed the conference that was to lead to independence, held in the same red fort as the trials".
