Netaji
- One of the most prominent and most
revered Indian nationalist leaders.
Date-wise Events / Works
February 19, 1938, he
was elected Congress President at Haripura session of the Indian
National Congress.
April, 1939: Forced to resign from
the Indian National Congress following differences
with the more conservative high command.
May 03, 1939 - Forward
Bloc Formed On this day, All India Forward Bloc (AIFB) which emerged
as a faction within the Indian National Congress in 1939, led by
Subhas Chandra Bose and after independence it was re-established as
an independent political party, with its main stronghold in West
Bengal.
July 02, 1940 - Placed under house
arrest by the British on before escaping from
India.
1941: He
managed to escape from India in early 1941, despite
the house arrest.
October 21, 1943 - He
established a provisional government of Free India at Singapore.
December 30, 1943 -
On this day, he raised the flag of Indian
independence (Tiranga) at Port Blair,
Andaman and Nicobar Islands, about 2500
km from the Capital of India. This was
the first ever occasion to hoist the
TIRANGA during the British Rule by an
Indian leader declaring the independence
of India. So, he was the first person to
declare the independence of India. On
this day, he freed the territory of
Anadaman and Nicobar island with the
help of Azad Hind Fauj and took over its
administration. So, in a real sense,
India got independence on this day, when
Subhas Chandra Bose unfurled the TIRANGA
and formed the provisional Govt of India
on the soil of Andaman and Nicobar
Islands. This day is also celebrated
every year as the real independence day
of India in Andaman and Nicobar islands,
but, unfortunately, this occasion has
not been given due publicity for reasons
unknown. This leads to two basic
questions that we need to be answered
sooner than later:
Could the partition of India be
avoided if the declaration of
independence of India and unfurling
of the Tiranga by Subhas Chandra
Bose at Port Blair on the 30th
December, 1943 would have been duly
recognised by all those who
mattered?
Should the real
independence day of India not be
30th December, 1943 when Subhas
Chandra Bose declared independence
of India and unfurled of the Tiranga
for the first time on Indian soil?
March 18, 1944 - Under
his leadership, the Indian National Army crossed the Burmese border
into India for the liberation of India from the British.
April 14, 1944:
He hoisted the Indian Tricolour on the
Indian soil for the first time (at
Moirang in Manipur); Manipur also has an
Indian National Army Memorial and also a
War Museum.
Late 1945: The trials of the INA soldiers
took place at Red Fort,
Delhi; it caused huge public concern and response in India.
January 23, 2016 - About
100 Secret Classified Files about him made public by the Government
of India; before this some 65 files were declassified by the Govt of
West Bengal, India. More files are being gradually and periodically
being declassified.
August 15, 2017:
A statue of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
was found to be vandalised and smeared
with tar before its unveiling ceremony
on Independence Day in West Bengal's
Birbhum district.
Other Events &
Developments
An Indian nationalist whose patriotism made
him a Hero of India.
He attempted to gain India's independence
from British rule by force during the waning years of World War II
with the help of the Axis powers.
He turned to the Axis powers for help in
gaining India's independence by force.
With Japanese support, he organised the
Indian National Army, composed largely of Indian soldiers of the
British Indian army who had been captured in the Battle of Singapore
by the Japanese.
As the war turned against them, the Japanese
came to support a number of countries to form provisional
governments in the captured regions, including those in Burma, the
Philippines and Vietnam, and in addition, the Provisional Government
of Azad Hind, presided by Bose.
Bose's effort and dream, however, was short
lived.
It was reported that Bose died soon thereafter from third
degree burns received after attempting to escape in an overloaded
Japanese plane which crashed in Taiwan, but this theory remains
disputed.
