Celebrating Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary on January 23rd, we honor this iconic freedom fighter known for his unwavering dedication and audacious strategies. Born in 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Bose resigned from the Indian Civil Service to join the independence movement, advocating armed resistance against British rule.
His daring escape in 1942 led to the formation of the Indian National Army (INA), which fought in Southeast Asia during World War II. Although the INA’s campaign faced defeat, its impact on India was profound, instilling a belief in armed resistance and fostering self-reliance. Netaji’s contributions, though clouded in mystery due to his disappearance in 1945, remain undeniable.
Celebrating his Jayanti serves as a powerful reminder of sacrifices made by freedom fighters and a call to uphold ideals of freedom, courage, and self-reliance. Pay respects by visiting memorials, watching documentaries, reading about his contributions, and participating in discussions about his legacy. Let us ensure that Netaji’s flame of freedom continues to inspire generations. Jai Hind!
