Subhas Chandra Bose death anniversary: Remembering Netaji - India's heroic freedom fighter | Famous quotes

Subhas Chandra Bose death anniversary: Subhas Chandra Bose was one of the most prominent heroes of Inda's independence struggle. Referred as Netaji, he fought for independence throughout his life, within the country and from abroad. 

Born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Bose had founded the Azad Hind Fauj, also called Indian National Army (INA) that attacked the Britishers from the eastern side of the then undivided India, mostly comprising NE India.

Today marks 77 years since Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s death. Notably, the mystery surrounding his death often made headlines in the past.

It is widely believed that Subhas Chandra Bose died in an air crash on August 18, 1945, in Taiwan. But a section of people still believes that Bose survived the crash and went into hiding to escape the British. 

Earlier in 2021, the government decided to celebrate Netaji's birthday on January 23 every year as 'Parakram Diwas' in order to honour and remember his indomitable spirit and selfless service to the nation.
