Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot honored Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary, recognizing him as a past president of the Indian National Congress and a prominent figure in India’s fight for independence.
Gehlot highlighted Bose’s role in energizing the youth of India alongside Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, advocating strongly for complete freedom from British colonial rule. He described Bose as a fearless and determined symbol who devoted his life to serving the nation.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s sacrifice and patriotism, according to Gehlot, will serve as a perpetual source of inspiration for future generations of Indians, guiding the nation forward. Bose’s birth anniversary, observed nationwide, is also known as Prakram Day, celebrating his unwavering spirit and selfless dedication to the country.
This day encourages values such as courage, resilience, and unity, motivating citizens to contribute to the nation’s progress with the same determination displayed by Netaji against all odds. Born in 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha, Bose, initially pursuing a career in the Indian Civil Services, redirected his path towards the freedom struggle, eventually becoming a key figure in the Indian National Congress.
