In this four-part series, we explore the extraordinary journey of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and his INA. We will explore the women’s regiment of the Azad Hind Fauj and the forgotten victory of the INA in Nagaland.

While there are many ways to begin the story of great Netaji, delving a bit into the history of India made sense to us here at Airr News. Indian history is an ancient one, the rich civilization with deep philosophy was the reason for envy for many. When India was asking and realizing deep philosophical and spiritual questions, the Western world was still in its stone age. 

While India can boast of her rich civilization, her history has several foreign invaders who tried to destroy her. Chief among the invaders were Muslim kingdoms and the British. The East India Company was formed in 1600 and established trade relations with Southeast Asia and India; however, the company soon turned tyrannical and captured India. After the East India Company was dissolved, India came under the direct rule of the monarchy; however, nothing changed for India and its people.

After being subjected to ill treatment, the Indians realized that the British Raj must come to an end. From Rani Laxmibai to Tipu Sultan to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, various freedom fighters raised their voices and weapons against the tyranny of the British Raj.

Born on January 23, 1987, in Cuttack Orissa, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s contribution towards India’s freedom struggle has gone down in history as a legend. Not only did he reform the Indian National Army, but he changed the mindsets of the Indians.

While Netaji was greatly influenced by Rishi Aurobindo and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, he was opposed to Gandhiji’s ideas and methods of achieving freedom through non-violence alone. He believed that achieving freedom demanded blood.

An article published on Indiapedia mentions the following: 

“…The challenge he threw by calling Gandhian leaders rightists who were working for a compromise with the British Government was answered by 12 members of the Working Committee resigning and asking Bose to choose his own committee. Nehru did not resign with other members but he was unhappy with Bose’s casting of aspersions on senior leaders. He tried his best to mediate and persuade Bose not to resign.

The crisis came to a head at Tripuri in March 1939, with Bose refusing to nominate a new Working Committee and ultimately resigning. The clash was of policy and tactics. Bose wanted an immediate struggle led by Gandhiji, whereas Gandhiji felt the time was not ripe for struggle.

After parting ways with Congress, Netaji traveled the world to seek help from the world leader of the time to help him and India win freedom.

In the next episode, we will explore the Azad Hind Fauj.
