Subhash Chandra Bose popularly known as Netaji was one of the iconic freedom fighters of all time. His defiant patriotism made him a hero in India. Subhas Chandra Bose was born to Prabhavati Bose and Janakinath Bose on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, what is today the state of Odisha in India. He was sent to Cambridge University to pursue his studies in civil services. Unfortunately, Bose passed away in 1945 due to third-degree burns on 18 August 1945 after his overloaded Japanese plane crashed in Japanese-ruled Formosa (now Taiwan). As today (Sunday) marks his 125th birth anniversary, let us recall his struggle for freedom and ignite the spirit of patriotism within our hearts.
