Introduction:
- He was an
Indian nationalist whose patriotism made him a hero of India.
History & Achievements
- Commonly
known as Netaji (Respected Leader), he was one of the most prominent
Indian nationalist leaders.
- 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 was ousted
from the Indian National Congress in 1939 following differences with
the more conservative high command.
- Subsequently,
he was placed under house arrest by the British, but he managed to
escape from India in early 1941.
- 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, which is disputed.
- The trials of
the INA soldiers at Red Fort, Delhi, in late 1945 caused huge public
response in India.
