The 119th birthday of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is being observed today.
आज नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस की 119वीं जयंती मनाई जा रही है।
 నేడు నేతాజీ సుభాష్చంద్రబోస్ 119వ జన్మధినము 
 

Subash Chandra Bose fondly called as 'NETAJI' is the true leader of the Indian Freedom Struggle, who always advocated for unconditional Independence for India unlike the Indian National Congress which wanted freedom in phases till the historic Lahore Congress convention. Bose had been a leader of the younger, radical, wing of the Indian National Congress in the late 1920s and 1930s, rising to become Congress President in 1938 and 1939. However, he was ousted from Congress leadership positions in 1939 following differences with Gandhi and the Congress high command. 
He established a separate political party, the All India Forward Bloc and continued to call for the full and immediate independence of India from British rule. He was imprisoned by the British authorities eleven times.He was subsequently placed under house arrest by the British before escaping from India in 1940.
Clement Attlee, the British Prime Minister during whose rule India became independent, mentioned that INA activities of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and the Royal Indian Navy mutiny in 1946 were major reasons that made the British realize that they were no longer in a position to rule India. In Atlee's words,"The spark Subhash Chandra Bose created among the soldiers of Indian Army and the threat of Bose and the rise of Indian nationalism from which we understood that it was a matter of time."
Of the entire strength of 60,000, two-third soldiers of the INA died fighting the British. But still the soldiers kept on fighting for an Independent India. The soldiers of INA were neither rehabilitated nor integrated into the Indian Army. 
Lets pay our tribute to this great leader on his 118th birthday who is within our voice whenever we salute our nation with 'JAI HIND'. Another famous phrase coined by him to motivate the members of 'Azad Hind Fauz' was 'Tum Mujhe Khun Dho, Main Tumhe Azaadi Dhoonga'
