NEW DELHI, Mar 13: Lieutenant Rangaswamy Madhawan Pillai, a 99-year-old veteran of the Indian National Army (INA), commenced his 100th year by laying a wreath at the National War Memorial and the statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at Kartavya Path on March 13, 2025. Organised by the Indian Army, the event was attended by senior Armed Forces Personnel and the public. The ceremony stood as a powerful reminder of India's enduring legacy of sacrifice and patriotism. Lieutenant Rangaswamy Madhawan Pillai was born on March 13, 1926, in the Swaryan Township of Rangoon District in Burma (now Myanmar). His father hailed from Sivagangai District in Tamil Nadu. He initially joined the Indian Independence League as a civilian in 1942 under Rash Behari Bose. When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose arrived in Singapore, Lt Madhawan formally enlisted in the INA on November 1, 1943, at the age of 18. After receiving his commission from the Officers Training School in Burma, he served as a recruitment and fundraising officer.
