Subhas
Chandra Bose, affectionately called Netaji, was one
of the most prominent leaders of Indian freedom struggle.
Born on January 23rd 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa as
the ninth child among fourteen children, he came under the influence
of Gandhiji and joined the Indian National Congress. But
Bose’s
ideas did not match with that of Gandhi’s belief
in non-violence. He believed in violent resistance and
was imprisoned by the British authorities eleven times. He founded Indian National Army (Azad
Hind Fauj) to overthrow British Empire from India, and
came to acquire a legendary status among the Indian masses.
