This was क़ौमी तराना - the anthem of Azad Hind Government, a Provisional Free Indian Government in Exile, formed in Singapore by Subhash Chandra Bose.

Based on Tagore's Jana gana mana, Bose asked Mumtaz Hussain and Col. Abid Hassan Saffrani to create this song in Hindi in the year 1943. Musical score was provided by Captain Ram Singh Thakur.

When India attained Independence, Jawaharlal Nehru on the morning of 15 August 1947, hoisted the Tricolor on the ramparts of the Red Fort and addressed the nation, Capt. Ram Singh Thakur along with the members of his orchestra group played the tune of this Azad Hind Fauj anthem, but were not allowed to sing the lyrics.
