Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa. His father was Janaki Nath Basu and his mother was Prabhavati Devi. His father, Janaki Nath, worked in the law business in Cuttack.
1919 Subhash Bose enters the University of Cambridge. He prepared himself for the Civil Examination in a very short time and sat the ICS examination within eight months and obtained fourth place with distinction. He earned a civil service medal but did not turn his attention to his job. While in England, he was inspired to serve his country.
He went on to cooperate fully with Mahatma Gandhi’s Non-Cooperation Movement. Netaji believed in non-violence. While abroad, he sent a letter to his country friend expressing his intentions: “You are today the chief priest of the Swadesh Seva Yajna in Bengal. The impact of the movement you are waging has come here through the newspapers. I want to dedicate myself to the feet of my motherland with my little knowledge, intelligence and strength. He formed the Azad Hind Fauj, an armed force abroad, to attack the British forces. They answered weapons with weapons.
Subhash Chandra was a man of self-confidence and determination. Bowing his head in reverence for heritage, Netaji said, “The heritage of India throughout the ages
Yes, let the world hear the message of that heritage.” Since 1921, Subhash Chandra was convicted by the British administration in several cases and sentenced to 11 years in prison. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Rangoon.
In 1922, Basu was elected President of the Gaya Congress. After a disagreement with the Congress on the question of entering the Legislative Assembly, he formed the ‘Swarajya’ party. Matilal Nehru became the President of the party. In 1924, the Bengal Ordinance arrested Subhash Chandra along with many Congress workers and deported him to Burma. There he spent a long time in Mandalay jail.
In 1928, the Congress session was held in Calcutta. Subhash Basu was the commander-in-chief of the volunteer forces.
In 1929, at the Lahore Congress session, where Jawaharlal Nehru was the President, he accepted the resolution of full independence. In 1930, he was arrested again while conducting an independence rally in Kolkata and sentenced to one year in jail.
At the end of 1932 his health failed. The Government of India sent him to Europe for treatment.
In 1938, Subhash Basu was elected President of the Congress. “Our struggle is not only against British imperialism. Our goal is to overthrow all imperialism in the world, not only for India, but for the entire humanity of the world.”
In 1939, Subhash Chandra was elected President of the Congress for the second time. This session was held in Tripura. World War II began in Europe this year. Basu resigned as president and formed a new political party called the Forward Block due to the conspiracy of the southern leaders of the Congress.
In 1940, Subhash Chandra was brought to India, arrested and imprisoned in Alipur Central Jail. He informed Barlat in a letter that he would start a hunger strike in jail. It said, “To have life, you must give life.”
On 17 January 1941, Subhash Chandra left for Kolkata in the guise of a cleric while the guards were on duty.
From there he went to Germany, boarded a submarine and sailed under the sea to Southeast Asia. There he formed the Azad Hind Bahini for Indian prisoners of war.
Subhash Chandra took over as the commander-in-chief of the force. World War II had then spread to Southeast Asia.
In 1943, the Azad Hind Sarkar was formed. In 1944, he launched the “Delhi Chalo” campaign. He left Singapore on 17 August 1944 on a plane. No one could tell where he went. They could not find the clue of Basu. Two years later, on 15 August 1947, India became independent. Bose’s desired freedom came but Bose was lost. Yet this strong leader is for the people of India.
