74th Independence
A tribute to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
Ideally, Subhash Chandra bose is known as the father of India’s freedom fight. He was known to revive the Indian National Army popularly known as the Azad Hind Fauj back in 1943. Majorly popular by the name Netaji’s sudden disappearance from Taiwan led to an increasing number of theories that were never investigated thoroughly, leaving the generation in the dark about one of the most respected leaders of the country.
Early life and stepping in the revolutionary:
The great leader was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa, to Janakinath Bose and Prabhavati Devi. Since a young age, Bose was a very intelligent and sincere student. Swami Vivekananda's teachings mainly influenced him. Being a son of a wealthy and prominent lawyer, Bose studied at the presidency college, Calcutta. It is known that Subhash reportedly beat and thrashed one of his British teachers EF Otten in college. The professor was known to make a racist remark against the Indian students, due to which Subhash Chandra Bose was expelled from the university and also banished. Later he was sent by his parents to the University of Cambridge in England to prepare for the Indian civil service. In 1920, he passed the public service examination, but after knowing about the nationalist turmoils in India, he resigned his candidacy and rushed back to India in April 1921. In the same year in December, Nehru was imprisoned and arrested for organizing a boycott of the celebrations to mark the Prince wale's India visit.
With and V/S congress:
Subhash Chandra Bose was known to work under the leadership of Chittaranjan Das, who was one of the most active members of the party. He was also addressed as the political guru of Bose. Bose became an influential leader in congress and made a strong attempt to mold the entire party uniquely. He was a staunch opponent of Gandhi's philosophy. This led to Subhash Chandra Bose against the whole party. During the election, he got elected with a massive number of votes, but the closer aide Gandhi won the election. To acknowledge outside support on getting freedom, he journeyed to Germany and japan during world war 2. At the same time, Nehru said. If Subhash would bring soldiers from outside India, then I would be the first person to oppose him and wield a sword.
Formation of the Azad Hind Fauj:
In the revolutionary struggle, the role of the Indian National Army or the Azad Hind fauj is said to be buried. Another name of the Bose’ Indian national army was Azad Hind Fauj, which was inspired by the concepts of Netaji, who planned to take outside help to get rid of the British reign. The Azad Hind Fauj was the organization that was found by Rash Behari Bose and featured prisoners of the Singapore War with about 42,000 Indian soldiers in 1942.
A year after this, Subhash Ji escaped house arrest in Calcutta and reached Singapore and took the leadership of the Azad Hind Fauj.
