October 23, 1943. The Azad Hind program on the station started would start with Bahadur Shah Zafar, the last Mughal emperor's recorded voice, "Ghazio mein by rahegi jab talak iman ki, Tab toh London tak chalegi regh hindustan ki" (. Zafar spent his last few years in Rangoon where the station was then based. The programming on the station was largely considered Nazi German propaganda against the British actions in the region. The BBC launched its own Eastern Service station in the early 1940s to counter propaganda by stations like the Azad Hind Radio. The station continued operations until June 1945 even after Bose's Indian National Army was defeated by the British in 1944.
