Know About Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose:-
Subhas Chandra (23 January 1897 – 18 August 1945) was an Indian nationalist who defied British authority and was considered a hero by many Indians, his wartime alliances with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan left a legacy of authoritarianism and military failure.
Netaji was first given the honorific title in Germany in early 1942 by the Indian soldiers of the Indische Legion and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin. Now, it is used throughout India.
Subhas Bose was born into a large Bengali family during the British Raj. He was sent to England to take the Indian Civil Service examination after college, having received an Anglocentric education earlier on.
He succeeded with distinction in the vital first exam but demurred at taking the routine final exam citing nationalism to be a higher calling.
Bose returned to India in 1921 and became involved in the nationalist movement led by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress. He followed Jawaharlal Nehru to leadership in a group within the Congress that was more open to socialism and less keen on constitutional reform.
In 1938, Bose became Congress, president. Bose was reelected in 1939, but differences between him and the Congress leaders, including Gandhi, soon developed.
These differences were over the future federation of British India and princely states, but also because the Congress leadership was uncomfortable with Bose’s negotiable attitude to non-violence, and his plans for greater powers for himself.
Bose resigned as president after an overwhelming majority of the members of the Congress Working Committee resigned in opposition. Eventually, he was expelled from the party.
CM Yogi pays humble tribute to the immortal son of Mother India, ‘Netaji’ Subhash Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary.
