PM Modi, President Ram Nath Kovind Remember Subhas Chandra Bose on 121st Birth Anniversary

New Delhi: The country today remembers one of India's most celebrated freedom fighters, Subhas Chandra Bose on his 121st birth anniversary. The nationalist leader was generally known as Netaji or leader after his contribution in establishing and leading the Indian National Army during the course of the Indian freedom struggle. 

Subhas Chandra Bose was born in Orissa's Cuttack on January 23, 1897 and was a Philosophy student. He was initially an active member of the Congress in Culcutta, but later on founded the Swaraj Party in 1922. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's patriotism continues to have an impact in the country.
