Biography : Netaji Subhas Bose was born into wealth and privilege in a large Bengali family in Orissa during the British Raj. The early recipient of an Anglocentric education, he was sent after college to England to take the Indian Civil Service examination. He succeeded with distinction in the vital first exam but demurred at taking the routine final exam, citing nationalism to be a higher calling. Returning to India in 1921 to join the nationalist movement led by the Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, Bose followed Jawaharlal Nehru to leadership in a group within the Congress which was less keen on constitutional reform and more open to socialism.[s] He became Congress president in 1938. After reelection in 1939, differences arose between him and Gandhi. The senior leadership in the Congress supported Gandhi, and Bose resigned as president and was eventually ousted from the party.
In April 1941 Bose arrived in Nazi Germany, where the leadership offered unexpected but equivocal sympathy for India's independence. German funds were employed to open a Free India Centre in Berlin. A 3,000-strong Free India Legion was recruited from among Indian POWs captured by Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps to serve under Bose.
Although peripheral to their main goals, the Germans inconclusively considered a land invasion of India throughout 1941. By the spring of 1942, the German army was mired in Russia. Bose became keen to move to southeast Asia, where Japan had just won quick victories.
Adolf Hitler during his only meeting with Bose in late May 1942 offered to arrange a submarine.
During this time, Bose also became a father; his wife,[5][u] or companion,[4][v] Emilie Schenkl, gave birth to a baby girl.
Identifying strongly with the Axis powers, Bose boarded a German submarine in February 1943. Off Madagascar, he was transferred to a Japanese submarine from which he disembarked in Japanese-held Sumatra in May 1943.
With Japanese support, Bose revamped the Indian National Army (INA), which comprised Indian prisoners of war of the British Indian army which had been captured by the Japanese in the Battle of Singapore.
A Provisional Government of Free India was declared on the Japanese-occupied Andaman and Nicobar Islands and nominally presided by Bose.
Although Bose was unusually driven and charismatic, the Japanese considered him to be militarily unskilled, and his soldierly effort was short-lived. In late 1944 and early 1945, the British Indian Army reversed the Japanese attack on India. Almost half the Japanese forces and the participating INA contingent were killed.
The remaining INA was driven down the Malay Peninsula and then faced the consequences with the recapture of Singapore. Bose chose to go to Manchuria to seek a future in the Soviet Union which he believed to have turned anti-British.
It was declared that Netaji died from third-degree burns received when his overloaded plane crashed in Japanese Taiwan on August 18, 1945 but India Govt and Indians did not agree to believe that the crash had occurred, expecting Bose to return to secure India's independence.
Today, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose’s 125th birth anniversary.
