Today, 23 January 2013, is the 116th Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the revolutionary leader of the Indian Independence Movement. Along with Gandhiji and Jawahar Lal Nehru, Subhas Bose was a top leader of the Congress and was elected twice as its President. But he resigned after difference with Gandhiji, who openly expressed his displeasure in the election of Subhas Bose defeating the candidate proposed by Gandhiji. Later he formed his own party, Forward Block.

Subhas Bose formed Azad Fauj (Indian National Army), to fight against the British with the Indians staying in Burma and with the help of Japan, but could not reach India since the British stopped their march and arrested them. They could not capture Subhas Bose.

His death is still a mystery. it is stated that he died in a plane accident in Taiwan in 1945. But it is disputed. The mystery of his death continues.
Netaji Bose was one of the greatest leaders of the Indian Independence movement. My respectful salutations to him on his birth day anniversary!
