Tribute to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose - Modi Hoists Flag on Red Fort
Today is 75th anniversary of Azad Hind Government which was formed on 21 oct by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose in Singapore. On this occasion PM Narendra Modi hoisted flag on Red Fort.
It's first time when PM Modi hoisted flag on Red Fort other than on 15 August. PM Modi said in glorifying one family contribution of Netaji was deliberately forgotten. Modi also told significance of Netaji and his Azad Hind Government, how it shook the British government. Modi also mentioned that even Nalson Mandela also got inspired by Netaji and followed him as a leader. Modi further said
"We reached Swaraj after countless sacrifices. Netaji said we have to achieve independence through guns and blood. He said after we achieve independence, we will need a robust defence force, today I am proud to announce that this dream of a strong defence force has been realised," PM Modi added.
The Azad Hind Fauz was a part of the freedom movement, originating in 1940s outside India with a purpose of allying with Axis powers to free India from British rule. The existence of the Azad Hind Government gave a greater legitimacy to the independence struggle against the British. Pertinently, the role of Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army (INA) had been crucial in bequeathing a much-needed impetus to India’s struggle for Independence.
