The INA had failed to achieve its goal but it made a significant impact on the freedom struggle:
1. It became clear to the British that they could no longer depend on the loyalty of Indian soldiers and treat them as mercenaries.
2. The struggles of the INA demonstrated that those who waged an armed struggle against the British were not at all affected by communal division.
3. The actions of the Rani Jhansi Brigade- an exclusively women force demonstrated the capabilities of Indian Women waging armed struggle against the British.
4. The INA had also demonstrated the enthusiasm and concern of overseas Indians for the freedon of their motherland.
