Let us remember few life inspiring things from the Life & Times of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
1. The great son of India was born on 23rd January, 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa.
2. He was a brilliant student from right from childhood.
3. He topped the matriculation examination and graduated with a First class in Philosophy from the Scottish Churches College in Calcutta.
4. He was greatly influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda.
5. He completed is studies in England in 1920 with flying colors standing fourth in order of merit.
6. He could have enjoyed a high life after completing civil services studies but the destiny had written something different for him.
7. The day of 13th April, 1919, the northern city of Amritsar in Punjab province witnessed massacre of thousands of unarmed people, known in history as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre which was ordered by British General R.E.H. This incident had created deep anguish in Subhas’s mind left his Civil Services apprenticeship midway to return to India in 1921.
8. After returning to India, Bose came under the influence of Mahatma Gandhi and joined the Indian National Congress.
9. Bose was a radical Congress leader who later formed his new party, Forward Block over the differences with Mahatma Gandhi and Nehru and founded Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) to overthrow British Empire.
10. He was jailed 11 times in British rule.
11. He was elected as Congress President twice but resigned as he opposed Gandhi’s ideology.
12. He was very unhappy with the hanging of Bhagat Singh and his associates.
13. Bose’s house arrest in Calcutta, his brilliantly planned escape dressed as a Pathan in January, 1941, his arrival in Germany and his raising an army to fight British in collaboration with Japan is well known.
14. Bose married Emilie Schenkl, an Australian.
15. Anita Schenkl Pfaff, the daughter of Bose is a German economist, who has previously been a professor at the University of Augsburg as well as a politician in the Social Democratic Party of Germany.
16. Bose was influenced by the success of the five-year plans in the Soviet Union and he advocated for a socialist nation with an industrialized economy. Gandhi was opposed to the very concept of industrialization.
17. In spite of all the differences in ideologies, both Gandhi and Bose admired and respected each other. In 1942 Gandhi called Subhash Bose the "Prince among the Patriots" for his great love for the country. Bose too admired Gandhi and in a radio broadcast from Rangoon in 1944, he called Mahatma Gandhi "The Father of Our Nation.
18. Though Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru have garnered much of the credit for successful culmination of Indian freedom struggle, the contribution of Subash Chandra Bose is no less.
19. The biggest talking point from the files that were declassified by PM, Narendra Modi pertaining to Subhas Chandra Bose seems to be a letter doing the rounds. In this letter, allegedly written by Nehru in 1945 to Clement Attlee, the former PM of UK, he apparently refers to Bose as a 'war criminal'.
In the letter, Nehru allegedly wrote: “Dear Mr Attlee, I understand from reliable sources that Subhas Chandra Bose, your war criminal, has been allowed to enter Russian territory by Stalin. This is a clear treachery and betrayal of faith by the Russians as Russia has been an ally of the British-Americans, which she should not have done. Please take note of it and do what you consider proper and fit.”
20. Subhas Chandra Bose's death in a plane crash on 18 August 1945 in Taiwan is still a unresolved mystery despite many commissions and committees set up by government of India in the past.
21. The greatest hero of Indian freedom struggle, who is loved greatly by his countrymen, has been denied his rightful place in the annals of history by the Congress regime.
22. Subhas Chandra Bose's family homes and relatives were kept under surveillance between 1948 and 1968 by Indian government.
23. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi released the first sset of 100 declassified file pertaining to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at the National Achieves last year on 23rd January, 2016 in presence of members of the Bose Family
24. The declassified papers related to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, released by the BJP government confirm long held suspicions that documents on his disappearance and death were destroyed
25. Few of Netajis famous quotes are;
· Reality is, after all, too big for our frail understanding to fully comprehend. Nevertheless, we have to build our life on the theory which contains the maximum truth.We cannot sit still because we cannot, or do not , know the Absolute Truth.
· Freedom is not given, it is taken.
· One individual may die for an idea; but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives. That is how the wheel of evolution moves on and the ideas and dreams of one nation are bequeathed to the next.
· Embodiment of the past product of the present prophet of the future mystery still continue, but end is near & it must be so.
· “No real change in history has ever been achieved by discussions.
And above all;
· Friends! My comrades in the War of Liberation! Today I demand of you one thing, above all. I demand of you blood. It is blood alone that can avenge the blood that the enemy has spilt. It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom. Give me blood and I promise you freedom!
