You give me blood; I’ll give you freedom. Remember this famous slogan? Yes, it was given by Subhas Chandra Bose, popularly known as Neta Ji. The most ambitious freedom fighter India ever had, his birth anniversary and Parakram Diwas is going to be celebrated on 23 January 2022.

Presenting below a quick life recap of Neta Ji that will blow your minds:

The Bright Young Man

Subhash Chandra Bose was born on 23 January 1879 in Cuttack, Odisha. His father’s name was Janaki Nath Bose, and he was a famous lawyer. His mother, Prabhavati Devi was a pious and religious day.

Adorned Swami Vivekananda Ji as a spiritual Guru, Neta Ji was known for his patriotic zeal as a student. He titled Mahatma Gandhi Ji as the Father of the Nation.

Azad Hind Sena

At the time of World War II, Neta Ji formed Azad Hind Fauz against the Britishers. There were approximately 85,000 soldiers in the Azad Hind Fauz. The Azad Hind Fauz took part in the attack on the north-eastern parts of India to free the country from British rule. The help of Japan proved beneficial in terms of organizing an anti-body against the British, and the slogans like ‘Dilli Chalo’ and ‘Jai Hind’ gained many supporters.

A remarkable act was joining the army by women which led to the formation of a separate women regiment named Rani Jhansi Regiment, and the leader was Lakshmi Swaminathan.

The Plethora of Slogans

The man of intelligence’s charm was because of the words he raised too:

1. One individual may die for an idea, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.

2. When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a steamroller.

3. Life loses half its interest if there is no struggle-if there are no risks to be taken.

4. Freedom is given – not taken.

And the list doesn’t end here, it is long……….

His Death – Most Heated Topic

It is believed that Neta Ji died in the plane crash that happened on 18 August 1945 on the way to Japan. However, it is criticized as many believe that he survived miraculously after the plane crash, and lived as a hermit in northern India. His death is still a topic of mysterious stories.

Parakram Diwas – Brave Day

The birth anniversary of Neta Ji is celebrated on 23 January every year. The Government of India in 2021 declared this day as Parakram Diwas, Brave Day to mark his presence and instill a feeling of patriotism in the Indians.
