Gift of Mrs. Indra Menon nee Nair

Young and old were associated with the INA movement. While many young boys enrolled into the Balak Sena, here is a rare instance of a performer at INA organised events. Indira Menon took part as a young girl at various INA led music and dance performances. She even danced for the INA jawans or soldiers before they left for Imphal in 1944.
