Early Life and Ideals of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose

Subhash Chandra Bose was born in Cuttack, Odisha on the 23rd of January 1897. Netaji was a very bright and brilliant student who cleared the toughest exam that time which was the Indian Civil Services (ICS) examination in England. But deep dow, Netaji’s heart had only one desire – to work for his country and free it from the British Raj. Thus, he resigned from his post which was a clear sign of his fearlessness.

Netaji had a firm belief that freedom is not something to be asked for but it was to be won through determination and sacrifice. His ideologies varied from that of other freedom fighters of his time and he firmly believed that strict action and worldwide relations are very necessary to take control of one’s own land.

Formation of the Indian National Army (INA)

One of Netaji’s most remarkable contributions was the formation and leadership of the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj). He famously said “तुम मुझे खून दो, मैं तुम्हें आज़ादी दूँगा” or “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom,” which literally became a revolution amongst those seeking freedom of the country.

INA represented:

• Collective strength and courage
• Nation is above every religion and region
• Coordinated defiance one day pays off

Though military success was limited, the INA was successful in shaking the foundational stones of British Raj or rule and it was one of the reasons for India’s Independence from the British.

Netaji’s Vision for Independent India

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had a vision for India, which was:

• Independent and self sufficient – Atmanirbhar Bharat
• Socially just and inclusive foe everyone irrespective of cast and creed
• Imperial mindset free India
• United Undivided India

He firmly believed that youth and the young people are the stones to build a strong path and thus they need to be courageous and fearless to walk on their chosen path. Parakram Diwas 2026 is therefore not just a day to remember Netaji but a reminder to lives by his values.
