In this post, we are sharing information about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and powerful Subhas Chandra Bose Quotes, Speech.
23 January 1897 is written in golden letters in world history. On this day, Subhas Chandra Bose, the great hero of the freedom movement, was born to famous lawyer Janakinath of Cuttack and Prabhavatidevi.
His father returned the title of ‘Rai Bahadur‘ in protest against the repression of the British. For this reason, there was bitterness towards the British in Subhas’s mind. Now Subhas should take the self-determination to push the British out of India and make India independent.
Subhas resigned from ICS after passing the ICS examination. On this matter, his father boosted his confidence and said- ‘When you have already taken the fast of service, do not ever deviate from this path.’
The ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ was duly formed on 5 July 1943. On 21 October 1943, Netaji realized his resolve to achieve independence by organizing a group of Indians living in different Asia countries and establishing a temporary independent Government of India.
On 12 September 1944, at the Jubilee Hall, Rangoon, on the memorial day of the martyr Yatindra Das, Netaji gave a very touching speech and said – “Now our freedom is sure, but freedom demands sacrifice. You give me blood, I will give you freedom”. This was the sentence that sprouted among the country’s youth, which is mentioned in the golden letters not only in India but in the history of the world.
On 18 August 1945, Netaji’s plane crashed at Taihoku Airport upon leaving for Tokyo, and Mother India cherished forever, immortalized by burning the divine flame of the nation’s love.
