NEW DELHI: On the occasion of Subhas Chandra Bose’s birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid heartfelt tributes to the legendary leader, acknowledging his unparalleled contribution to India’s freedom struggle.
“Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose epitomized courage and grit,” the Prime Minister remarked, emphasizing how Bose’s vision continues to inspire efforts toward building the India he had envisioned. The birth anniversary of this iconic leader, who spearheaded the Azad Hind Fauj to challenge colonial rule, is observed nationwide as Parakram Diwas.
A Visionary Leader with Unmatched Resolve
Born on January 23, 1897, in Cuttack, Odisha, Bose was a charismatic nationalist leader who rose to prominence within the Indian National Congress. His election as Congress President in 1938 underscored his leadership acumen, but his advocacy for a more assertive approach, including raising an armed force to liberate India, eventually led to his departure from the party.
Netaji’s efforts to galvanize global support and form the Azad Hind Fauj symbolized his unwavering commitment to India’s sovereignty. In recognition of his extraordinary legacy, the Government of India declared January 23 as ‘Parakram Diwas’ in 2021.
