20 Memorable Quotes By Subhash Chandra Bose

“Tum mujhe khoon do, mai tumhe azadi dunga” (Give me blood and I will give you freedom) Subhash Chandra Bose, the great revolutionary who raised this slogan, was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Odisha. He was fondly called as Netaji by people, who led the Indian National Congress youth wing and was elected as the president of the Congress.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had differences with Mahatma Gandhi, but he continued his effort to get rid of the British from India. He founded the Azad Hind Fauj during World War II with the support of Japan and declared war against the British ruling in the country, which played an important role in making India, independent.
