Subhash Chandra Bose

Subhas Chandra Bose was one of the most successful Indian liberation fighters in history. He was conceived on January 23, 1897. He was a radical nationalist, yet his unwavering patriotism made him become a hero. Bose rejected the Gandhian ideals of non-violence and felt that the British could only be driven out of India through military uprising.

He was the Forward Bloc's founder, and during World War II, he managed to get past the British and eventually get in Germany. He organized the Indian National Army (INA) and, with Japanese assistance, was able to liberate Manipur from the British occupation, but he was eventually victorious as a result of the Japanese surrender to the British. Although his death is thought to have occurred in a plane crash in 1945, it is still unknown how he passed away.
