Subhash Chandra Bose

. 'Tum mujhe khoon do, mein tumhe azadi doonga'

(You give me blood, and I promise you freedom).

 

Subhash Chandra Bose was born in Jan 23, 1897. He also known as also Netaji, was one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian Independence Movement against the British Raj. His father, Janakinath Bose, was a public prosecutor who believed in orthodox nationalism, and later became a member of the Bengal Legislative Council. His mother was Prabhavati Bose, a remarkable example of Indian womanhood. 

Bose was educated at Cambridge University. In 1920, Bose took the Indian Civil Service entrance examination and was placed second position.

He was a man of daring schemes and unflinching determination. He had joined Indian National Congress, and was particularly active in its youth wing. Gandhiji opposed this ideology because it directly conflicted with his policy of Ahimsa (non-violence). Subhas was one of the few politicians who sought and worked towards Hindu-Muslim unity on the basis of respect of each community’s rights, being a man of ideals, believed in independence from the social evil of religious discord.
in February 1938, Subhas was elected President of the Indian National Congress . Netaji wanted unconditional and complete freedom. He dreamed of a classless society with no caste barriers, social inequalities or religious intolerance. He believed in equal distribution of wealth and destruction of communalism. His slogan “Jai Hind” still acts as a great binding force today.

  "I stand for truth; I fight for truth and I shall die for truth," said Subhas in one of his memorable speeches in Singapore. He did not fear even death. "I am immortal till my work is done", he used to say. May the soul of the mighty architect of India's liberation lead us and show us light in the country's moments of frustration, disappointment and dejection.
he died in Aug 18, 1945because of air crash at Taipei, Taiwan.
