In a video message, the Prime Minister highlighted Netaji’s unwavering dedication, noting that he sacrificed personal aspirations for the nation’s independence. He remarked, “Netaji’s life was marked by hard work and valour. He gave up his personal dreams and interests for India’s independence.”
President Droupadi Murmu also paid tribute, acknowledging Netaji’s monumental role in India’s freedom struggle. She referred to him as “one of the greatest sons of Bharat Mata,” emphasizing his leadership of the Azad Hind Fauj and his unyielding determination.
Born on January 23, 1897, in Cuttack, Odisha, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose remains a towering symbol of patriotism and courage. In recognition of his invaluable contributions, the Government of India declared his birthday as ‘Parakram Diwas’ in 2021 to honor his legacy and inspire citizens, especially the youth, to emulate his bravery and national pride.
