Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese Army. Hugh Toye ile%eznà
'The
Admiral, in agreeing to the appointment of an Indian Chief
Commissioner,
told Netaji that for urgent Strategic reasons there would be
no complete handover during the War but that, if the Commissioner
was prepared to co-operate, some departments of Civil Administration
could be transferred............ on the second and last day of
Netaji's visit, there was a public meeting in his honour.........
Netaji talked about the formation of the provincial Indian
Government and dwelt on his aim to seek the help of the Japanese
Government in the fight for India's freedom. Therefore, he said that
it was incumbent upon the Indians to co-operate the Japanese.'

2 of the Indian Independence Bill allots the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands to the Dominion of India. These
Islands have never formed a subject to discussion of agreement

raises a very gave issue. They are not a part of India historically
or geographically. They were British possessions administered by the
Government of India and are not in the same category as other Chief
Commissioners' Provinces being reserved to the Governor General
under the Constitution Act 1935. The majority of the population
consists of tribes who are not connected to the peoples of Inia by
ethnical, religious or cultural ties. Pakistan's claim
to these Islands is very strong since the only channel of
communication between Eastern and Western Pakistan is by sea and
these Islands occupy important strategic positions on the sea route
and provide refueling bases. The Dominion of India have no claim.
They should form a part of Pakistan.
