SunstarTV Bureau: Subhas Chandra Bose, popularly known as ‘Netaji’ is one of those, who is fondly remembered by the Indians.
Netaji, was born on January 23, 1897 and like many others freedom fighters, his aim was also simple, to get India the much-needed independence. Despite his differences with him, it was the ultimate goal of freedom that did not deter him from that path.
One of his main contributions towards the same is to form the ‘Azad Hind Fauj’ or the Indian National Army, where radical measures were taken to attain independence for the country.
This year, the central government has decided to rename Subhas Chandra Bose Jayanti as ‘Parakram Diwas’ that will be celebrated on January 23.
On the occasion of 125th birth anniversary of the Netaji, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute and tweeted, “May the thoughts and ideals of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose keep inspiring us to work towards building an India that he would be proud of…a strong, confident and self-reliant India, whose human-centric approach contributes to a better planet in the years to come.”
