On the outbreak of the world war, Bose protested against Viceroy's decision to declare war on India as he advocated mass campaign of civil disobedience. These were not ordinary words but these were words that energized an entire nation! With the call of "Give me your blood and I will give you freedom" one man challenged the might of an empire and inspired a nation to join hands to free itself from the shackles of Imperialism, Gandotra added.
When we remember the glorious history of India's freedom struggle, the name of Netaji Bose is marked in golden letters. His name is edged in the hearts and minds of every Indian. The nation remembers Subhash Babu as a brave soldier who devoted his entire life to his country, so that his fellow brothers and sisters breathe the air of freedom, liberty and dignity, he maintained. |
