Subhas Chandra Bose
Cuttack (Odisha), British India
Archival Overview
Revolutionary Indian nationalist leader revered as 'Netaji' (Respected Leader), who established the Indian National Army (INA) and proclaimed the Azad Hind Provisional Government with the battle cry 'Jai Hind!'.
Biographical Record
Ranked fourth in the Indian Civil Service exam in Cambridge, Subhas Chandra Bose (1897–1945) resigned in 1921 to fight British colonial rule. Twice elected president of the Indian National Congress, he broke with Gandhi's non-violent orthodoxy, believing military struggle was necessary to liberate India.
Escaping house arrest in Calcutta in 1941, Netaji journeyed through Kabul and Moscow to Berlin, and thence by submarine to Singapore. In 1943, he revived the Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj), establishing the first female combat unit (Rani of Jhansi Regiment) and marching toward India with the cry: 'Give me blood, and I will give you freedom!'
