Moirang served as the headquarters of the Indian National Army led by Subhas Chandra Bose. The INA Memorial Complex stands as a witness of the historic events of the Second World War and the struggle for independence in India. It was here in the present-day INA Memorial Complex that for the first time the flag of the Azad Hind Fauz, the other name of INA, was hoisted on the Indian soil by Netaji.

INA Martyrs Memorial complex at Moirang was established in 1985. The complex has a museum and a library. The complex has a statue of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and a museum which exhibits letters, photographs, badges of ranks and other articles associated with the INA movement. Tourists, particularly from Japan, regularly visit the memorial complex to pay homage to their forefathers who had lost their lives in Manipur during World War II. The Japanese government has decided to construct a hospital in the memory of their forefather who died in Manipur during the war. Since its inception, the office of the Memorial has been organizing annually the Birthday of Netaji (23rd January), Flag Hoisting Day (14th April), and the Azad Hind Hukumat Day.
