History and Significance of Subhas Chandra Bose Jayanti

Subhas Chandra Bose is famously known as the founder of ‘Azad Hind Fauj’, and his famous slogan is “Tum Mujhe Khoon Do, Main Tumhe Aazadi Dunga”. ‘Netaji’ was first applied to Bose in Germany in early 1942 by the Indian soldiers of the Indische Legion and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin. It is now used throughout India.

Bose studied at the Protestant European School in Cuttack and was deeply influenced by the teachings of Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna after reading their works when he was just 16. His parents sent him to the University of Cambridge in England to prepare for the Indian Civil Service. As per historical records, he passed the civil service examination in 1920, but in April 1921, he resigned his candidacy and hurried back to India due to the nationalist turmoil in the country. January 2023 Holidays Calendar With Major Indian Festivals & Events: List of Important Dates in the First Month of the Year.
