Subhash Chandra Bose, commonly known as ‘Neta Ji’ commands a respectable place in the annals of freedom movement of India. He had distinguished qualities of unparalleled courage, single minded devotion and patriotism. His only aim in life was to get Mother India out of British Slavery. For this, he not only sacrificed ICS but also his life. He was daring enough to move out of India, particularly when he was put under house arrest. Abroad he mobilized people, built an army, INA and waged war against the most powerful British Empire. The International circumstances during the last phase of second World War proved unfavourable and he, himself died in plane crash under mysterious circumstances. But his words and deeds still inspire the youth of India to do anything for the nation.
