- Biography

Subhash Chandra Bose is one of the most memorable leaders of India's freedom struggle. In the history of India's freedom struggle he is a brilliant and great character who devoted his entire life to this struggle. He is better known as Netaji.

Subhash Chandra Bose was born in the famous "Bose family of Mahinagar" in South 24 Parganas district. He was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa.

Following five brothers, Subhash was admitted to Ravens Collegiate School in Cuttack in 1909 at the age of 12. Here, Bengali and Sanskrit were taught, as well as lessons about Hindu scriptures, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, which were not generally accepted at home. Although his Western education activities continued, he wore Indian clothes and was involved in religious thought. Despite his busy schedule, Subhash Chandra Bose was able to concentrate on his studies, compete and succeed in exams. He finished second in the matriculation examination conducted in 1921 under the sponsorships of Calcutta University. 

After passing the civil service examination, he was appointed by the British government. But he rejected that appointment with a revolution-conscious outlook. In this context, he said, "The best way to announce the end of any government is to withdraw from it." It was at this time that the 'Amritsar Genocide' and the repressive 'Rawlatt Act' of 1919 aroused the ire of Indian nationalists. Back in India, Subhash Chandra wrote for a newspaper called 'Swaraj' and continued to sow the seeds of nationalist thinking in favor of the Indian independence movement among young freedom fighters. Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, a proponent of the great nationalism of Bengal, was his political advisor.

Subhash Chandra was a devout Hindu. But in the management of the Azad Hind Fauj and in the struggle for independence, he was able to unite all religions with a secular ideology. He spent a lot of time in meditation. Swami Vivekananda's ideology inspired him. From his student days he was attracted to patriotism.

According to historians, Basu died on August 18, 1945, after a Japanese plane carrying Subhash Chandra Bose crashed into the Japanese-ruled Formosa (present-day Taiwan). However, many of his followers, especially in Bengal, denied the incident at that time and even still disbelieved the circumstances and information about his death. However, his contribution to the Indian independence movement can never be denied. To commemorate him, in 2021, Hon'ble Prime Minister of the Government of India Narendra Modi declared his birth anniversary as the Parakram Dibas (the National Might Day).
