The Birth Anniversary of the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose will be celebrated as ‘Parakam Diwas’ every year on January 23, the Union Government has decided earlier this week.
Popularly known as Netaji, Subhash Chandra Bose was Freedom Fighter who fought against British colonialists before August 15, 1947. During his political career, he also served as the president of the Indian National Congress in 1938.
Besides leaders in political circles, he inspired many among the communities living across the country. He earned popularity among the leaders as well as the common people for his extraordinary leadership skills.
As a result of his relentless efforts and struggle for freedom, Azad Hind Fauj came into existence. Going far beyond one’s imagination, he went even to Germany to secure support for the liberation movement in India. After subsequent efforts, he succeeded in forming Azad Hind Fauz or Indian National Army.
The INA fought with the armies of British imperialists initially in South East Asia, but it surrendered when Japan lost during WW2.
He passed away on August 18, 19456 in a plane crash. However, his death is still a mystery to everyone across the country. Here we have enlisted five lesser-known facts about his death.
Five facts about Subhash Chandra Bose
- His brother Sarat Chandra Bose and nephew Pradip Bose never believed the news about his death on the plane. Besides his family members, many among his followers also declined to believe about the plane crash.
- Many believe that he took Sanyas, changed his name to Gumnami Baba, resided and died in UP’s Faizabad.
- Gumnami Baba looked like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. He, according to the reports, accepted his real identity three times. But he chose to remain anonymous in the best interest of the country.
- As the evidence to support these claims, people, according to the media reports, founded binoculars, typewriter, Netaji’s watch, five teeth, and silver round trimmed spectacles from where the Gumnami Baba used to live.
- Mahatma Gandhi didn’t believe the news about his death but his feelings at the time, when he was reported dead in the plane crash. Mahatma Gandhi believed that he was alive.
