India's Brave Son: Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
A brave soul was born in Cuttack Bengal Presidency, British India (present-day Odisha, India) on 23rd January of 1897.
He was Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Netaji wasn't just brave; he was a proud rebel. He rebelled to free India from the clutches of British-Raj. From being just a member of a younger wing of Indian National Congress in the 1920s he rose to become Congress president in 1938 only to leave Congress and start his own political party named The All India Forward Bloc.
He led an army called Azaad Hind Fauj for his goal to see India free, for this he had to meet Hitler and ask him to spare the Indian troops Hitler captured as they were fighting for British. Netaji then brought them into his army. He did all this just to free India.
