January 23, 2024 will mark the 126th birthday of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. On this occasion, the model for a planned Netaji memorial that will be erected in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

In 1938, Netaji visited Haripura(Gujrat), where he spent the night at the house of Kalabhai Fakirmal Patel. Chief Minister Modi visited the Patel family’s house to pay his respects and drank water there. In addition, Narendra Modi rode a cart pulled by 51 bullocks to recreate and commemorate Netaji’s historic welcome in Haripura in 1938. Netaji’s clarion call of “Dilli Chalo” became “Gaaon Chalo” as CM Modi called for development to reach villages. Narendra Modi’s visit to Haripura resonated with the people who were reminded of Netaji’s historic words, Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Main Tumhe Azadi Dunga,” which Modi rephrased as “Tum Mujhe Paseena Do, Main Tumhe Hara Bhara Gujarat Dunga”!

On Netaji Jayanti PM Modi also tweeted that “From Gram Rajya to Ram Rajya, from Swarajya to Surajya, to fulfil Netaji’s dream.

Netaji’s Early life and contribution in the Independence of India

Subhash Chandra Bose was born on January 23, 1897, in Cuttack, Orissa, British India (now in Odisha, India). He came from a prominent Bengali family and was known for his strong sense of patriotism from a young age. Bose pursued his education in England, completing his studies at Cambridge University. However, his strong desire for India’s independence led him to become involved in the Indian Nationalist Movement, and he left England to return to India.

Bose initially joined the Indian National Congress and worked closely with leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru. However, due to ideological differences, he eventually grew disillusioned with the party’s non-violent approach and its leadership under Mahatma Gandhi.

Subhash Chandra Bose formed the Forward Bloc in 1939, a political group advocating for complete independence from British rule. He believed in more direct and forceful methods to achieve this goal.

During World War II, Bose believed that the opportunity for India to gain independence might arise with the help of Axis powers (Germany, Japan, and Italy). In 1941, he escaped house arrest and travelled to Germany, eventually seeking support from Adolf Hitler.

Bose went to Southeast Asia and, with Japanese support, formed the Indian National Army (INA) in 1942. The INA aimed to liberate India from British rule, and Bose famously addressed the soldiers as “Dilli Chalo” (March to Delhi).

The circumstances of Subhash Chandra Bose’s death remain a subject of controversy. He reportedly died in a plane crash in Taiwan on August 18, 1945. However, some conspiracy theories and claims of his survival persisted over the years.

Subhas Chandra Bose (1897–1945) was a prominent Indian nationalist leader and a key figure in the Indian independence movement against British colonial rule. He is particularly remembered for his efforts to liberate India from British rule during World War II. He is remembered every year on January 23, this day is celebrated as Neta ji Subhash Chandra Bose Jayanti or “ Prakaram Diwas”
