Subhas Chandra Bose, the great patriot, was born at Cuttack in. the year 1897. As a student he was meritorious. He went to England, appeared at the I. C. S. Examination and came fourth in order of merit, but he did not want to serve the British masters. His aim was to make India free. He joined the Indian National Congress and became its President. He wanted to fight the English and win freedom for his motherland. When the Second World War broke out he was put under house arrest in his home at Elgin Road, Calcutta. But nothing could tame his spirit-he escaped from there and went first to Germany and then to Japan. He organized an army called the Azad Hind Fouz. The soldiers loved him so dearly that they called him ‘Netaji’. Netaji led his army and came to Manipur, but his attempt to free India was not successful at that time. Whether Netaji is dead or alive remains a mystery even today. Dead or alive, Netaji has his seat in our heart.
