In 1944, Subhas Chandra Bose, a prominent Indian freedom fighter and political leader, raiseda military unit consisting of Indian prisoners of war and assigned it to the Waffen-SS inGermany to facilitate India's independence struggle against the British Raj. This military unitwas named 'The Indian Legion', or more commonly in the East, the 'Azad Hind Fauj'.My proposed research focuses on the documents (diaries, letters, correspondences,pictures, etc.) of Indian soldiers from the Indian Legion who fought in Europe during WorldWar II. I aim to carry out this project from the theoretical perspective of memory studies.Recent developments in memory studies suggest that memory can no longer be confined to thenational paradigm espoused by Pierre Nora and Jan and Aleida Assmann, but instead can andshould be explored in a range of other ways, e.g. through gender, religion, and ideology. Myresearch will approach the historical accounts of the Indian Legion through the notions of timewhich are central to the debates on memory in culture or literature.

1944 年，印度著名自由斗士和政治领袖苏巴斯·钱德拉·博斯 (Subhas Chandra Bose) 组建了一支由印度战俘组成的军事部队，并将其分配给德国的武装党卫队，以促进印度反对英属印度的独立斗争。这个军事单位被命名为“印度军团”，或者在东方更常见的是“Azad Hind Fauj”。我提议的研究重点是二战期间在欧洲作战的印度军团印度士兵的文件（日记、信件、信件、图片等）。我的目标是从记忆研究的理论角度来开展这个项目。记忆研究的最新进展表明，记忆不能再局限于皮埃尔·诺拉、扬和阿莱达·阿斯曼所倡导的国家范式，而是可以而且应该以一系列其他方式进行探索，例如记忆研究。通过性别、宗教和意识形态。我的研究将通过时间概念来探讨印度军团的历史记录，时间概念是文化或文学记忆辩论的核心。
