EARLY LIFE & POLITICAL CAREER . S ubhas Chandra Bose was born on 23 January 1897 (at 12.10 pm) in  Cuttack ,  Orissa Division, Bengal Province , to  Prabhavati Dutt Bose  and  Janakinath Bose , an advocate belonging to a  Kayastha   family. He was the ninth in a family of 14 children. His family was well to do . He was admitted to the Protestant European School (presently Stewart High School) in Cuttack, in January 1902. He continued his studies at this school which was run by the Baptist Mission up to 1909 and then shifted to the  Ravenshaw Collegiate School . After securing the second position in the matriculation examination in 1913, he was admitted to the  Presidency College  where he studied briefly . He was influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna after reading their works at the age of 16. He felt that his religion was more important than his studies . In those days, the British in Calcutta often made offensive remarks to the Indians in public places and insulted them openly. This behavior of the British as well as the outbreak of World War I began to influence his thinking .

His nationalistic temperament came to light when he was expelled for assaulting Professor Oaten (who had manhandled some Indian students ) . He was expelled although he appealed that he only witnessed the assault and did not actually participate in it .He later joined the  Scottish Church College  at the  University of Calcutta  and passed his B.A. in 1918 in philosophy . Bose left India for Europe on 15 September 1919, arriving in London on 20 October. He had made a promise to his father to prepare and appear for the  Indian Civil Services  (ICS) examination, for which his father has made available Rs 10,000. In London, Bose readied his application for the ICS, staying in  Belsize Park  with his brother Satish , who was preparing for the bar exam . Bose was eager to gain admission to a college at the  University of Cambridge .  However, it was already past the deadline for admission .  With the help of some Indian students there and Mr. Reddaway , the Censor of  Fitzwilliam Hall , a body run by the Non-Collegiate Students Board of the university, for making available the university's education at an economical cost without formal admission to a college, Bose  entered the register  of the university on 19 November 1919.

INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS He started the newspaper  Swaraj  and took charge of publicity for the Bengal Provincial Congress Committee .  His mentor was  Chittaranjan Das  who was a spokesman for aggressive nationalism in  Bengal . In the year 1923, Bose was elected the President of All India Youth Congress and also the Secretary of Bengal State Congress . He was also the editor of the newspaper "Forward", founded by Chittaranjan Das.Bose worked as the CEO of the  Calcutta Municipal Corporation  for Das when the latter was elected mayor of Calcutta in 1924 . ]  In a roundup of nationalists in 1925, Bose was arrested and sent to prison in  Mandalay , where he contracted  tuberculosis . In 1927, after being released from prison, Bose became general secretary of the Congress party and worked with  Jawaharlal Nehru  for independence. In late December 1928, Bose organised the Annual Meeting of the  Indian National Congress  in Calcutta.His most memorable role was as General Officer Commanding (GOC) Congress Volunteer Corps . Mahatma Gandhi is a sincere pacifist vowed to non-violence, did not like the strutting, clicking of boots, and saluting, and he afterward described the Calcutta session of the Congress as a  Bertram Mills circus , which caused a great deal of indignation among the Bengalis. A little later, Bose was again arrested and jailed for  civil disobedience ; this time he emerged to become Mayor of   Calcutta  in 1930.

Falling out with Gandhi Vocal support for Gandhi increased within the Indian National Congress, meanwhile, and, in light of this, Gandhi resumed a more commanding role in the party. When the  civil disobedience  movement was started in 1930, Bose was already in detention for his associations with an underground revolutionary group, the Bengal Volunteers. Nevertheless, he was elected mayor of  Calcutta  while in prison. Released and then rearrested several times for his suspected role in violent acts, Bose was finally allowed to proceed to Europe after he contracted  tuberculosis  and was released for ill health . In enforced  exile  and still ill, he wrote  The Indian Struggle, 1920–1934  and pleaded India’s cause with European leaders. He returned from  Europe  in 1936, was again taken into custody, and was released after a year.

Meanwhile, Bose became increasingly critical of Gandhi’s more  conservative  economics as well as his less confrontational approach toward independence . In 1938 he was elected president of the Indian National Congress and formed a national planning committee, which formulated a policy of broad industrialization. However, this did not harmonize with Gandhian economic thought, which clung to the notion of cottage industries and benefiting from the use of the country’s own resources. Bose’s   vindication  came in 1939, when he defeated a Gandhian rival for reelection. Nonetheless, the “rebel president” felt bound to resign because of the lack of Gandhi’s support . He founded the  Forward Bloc , hoping to rally radical elements, but was again incarcerated in July 1940. His refusal to remain in prison at this critical period of India’s history was expressed in a determination to fast to death, which frightened the British government into releasing him . On January 26, 1941, though closely watched, he escaped from his Calcutta residence in disguise and, traveling via  Kabul  and  Moscow , eventually reached  Germany  in April .

Subhas Chandra Bose and the formation of Forward Bloc : All India Forward Bloc was a left wing nationalist political party in India which emerged as a faction within the India Congress in 1939, led by Subhas Chandra Bose. He was well known for his leftist views in the Congress. The prime objective of the Froward Bloc was to bring all radical elements of the Congress party. So that he could spread the meaning of complete independence of India with adherence of the application of principles of equality and social justice.

S ubhas Chandra Bose and Indian National Army (INA) or Azad Hind Fauz An important development in the struggle for freedom during the Second World War was the formation and activities of the Azad Hind Fauj , also known as the Indian National Army, or INA. Rash Behari Bose, an Indian revolutionary who had escaped from India and had been living in Japan for many years, set up the Indian independence league with the support of Indians living in the countries of south-east Asia . When Japan defeated the British armies and occu pied almost all the countries of south-East Asia, the league formed the Indian National Army from among the Indian prisoners of war with the aim of liberating India from the British rule. General Mohan Singh, who had been an officer in the British Indian army, played an important role in organizing this army . In the meantime, Subhas Chandra Bose had escaped from India in 1941 and gone to Germany to work for India’s Independence. In 1943, he came to Singapore to lead the Indian Independence league and rebuild the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj ) to make it an effective instrument for the freedom of India. The Azad Hind Fauj comprised of about 45,000 soldiers, among who were Indian prisoners of war as well as Indians who were settled in various countries of south-east Asia.

On 21 October 1943, Netaji , proclaimed the formation of the provisional government of independent India (Azad Hind) in Singapore. Netaji went to the Andaman which had been occupied by the Japanese and hoisted there the flag of India . In early 1944, three units of the INA took part in the attack on the north-eastern parts of India to oust the British from India. However, the attempt to liberate India by the Azad Hind Fauj failed. The Indian nationalist movement did not view the Japanese government as a friend of India. Its sympathies were with the people of those countries which had fallen victims to Japan’s aggression. Netaji , however, believed that with the help of the Azad Hind Fauj , supported by Japan, and a revolt inside India, the British rule over India could be ended . The Azad Hind Fauj , with the slogan of ‘ Delhi Chalo ’ and the salutation Jai Hind was a source of inspiration to Indians, inside and outside the country. Netaji rallied together the Indians of all religions and regions, living in south-east Asia, for the cause of India’s freedom . .

Indian women also played an important role in the activities for the freedom of India . A women’s regiment of Azad Hind Fauj was formed, which was under the command of Captain Lakshmi Swaminathan . It was called the Rani Jhansi regiment . The Azad Hind Fauj became the symbol of unity and heroism to the people of India . Netaji , who had been one of the greatest leaders of India’s struggle for freedom, was reported killed in an air crash a few days after Japan had surrendered .

CONCLUSION Netaji without a shadow of a doubt, remains one of the most key figures in the history of India’s independence. He played a crucial role in freeing the country from the clutches of 200 years of British rule in his own inimitable way, much like the other leading lights of the day such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Till the last day of his life as an active freedom fighter, he kept the spirit of fighting the British – even at the time of his death he was planning to migrate to Russia and find a new way to combat the British – and it is this persistence and patriotic fervour that needs to be respected more than anything else .
