Subhash Chandra Bose was an influential Indian independence activist who founded the Indian National Army to fight against British rule in India. He served as the president of the Indian National Congress twice but later broke away to form his own party. During World War II, Bose sought help from Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to liberate India and formed the Azad Hind Fauj, recruiting Indian soldiers from prisoner-of-war camps. While it is believed that Bose died in a plane crash in 1945, some believe he may have survived and disappeared. Overall, Bose made significant contributions to the Indian independence movement through his militant approach and establishment of the Indian National Army.

Subhas Chandra Bose, affectionately called as Netaji, was one of the most famous leaders of
Indian freedom struggle. Though Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru have garnered much of
the credit for successful result of Indian freedom struggle.
The contribution of Subash Chandra Bose is no less. He has been denied his rightful place in the
history of Indian history.
1) He founded Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) to overthrow British Empire
from India and came to acquire legendary status among Indian masses.
2) Subhas Chandra Bose was born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa. His father
Janaki Nath Bose was a famous lawyer and his mother Prabhavati Devi was a pious
and religious lady graduated with a First Class in Philosophy from the Scottish
Churches College in Calcutta.
3) He was strongly influenced by Swami Vivekananda teachings .To fulfill his parents
wishes he went to England in 1919 to compete for Indian Civil Services.
4) Subhas Chandra Bose was deeply disturbed by the Jallianwalla Bag massacre, and
left his Civil Services apprenticeship midway to return to India in 1921
5) On Gandhiji's instructions, he started working under Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das,
whom he later acknowledged his political guru
6) Subhas also announced the formation of the Independence League. Subhas Chandra
Bose was jailed during Civil Disobedience movement in 1930. He was released in 1931
7) Shortly afterwards he was elected President of the Haripura Congress Session in
1938. Clouds of World War II were on the horizon and he brought a resolution to
give the British six months to hand India over to the Indians, failing which there
would be a riot.

2. 8) There was much opposition to his stiff stand, and he resigned from the post of
president and formed a progressive group known as the Forward Block.
9) He did not come out of his house for 40 days. In January 1941, subhas Chandra
Bose disappeared from his home in Calcutta and reached Germany via Afghanistan.
10) Working on the maxim that "an enemy's enemy is a friend", he sought cooperation
of Germany and Japan against British Empire. In July 1943, he arrived in Singapore
from Germany.
11) In Singapore he took over the wheel of the Indian Independence Movement in East
Asia from Rash Behari Bose and organized the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National
Army). Azad Hind Fauj proceeded towards India to liberate it from British rule.
Enrooted it liberated Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Azad Hind Fauj crossed the
Burma Border, and stood on Indian soil on March 18, 1944.
12) However, defeat of Japan and Germany in the Second World War forced INA to retreat
and it could not achieve its objective.
13) Subhas Chandra Bose was reportedly killed in an air crash over Taipeh, Taiwan
(Formosa) on August 18, 1945. Though it is widely believed that he was still alive
after the air crash not much information could be found about him.
So, mainly subhash Chandra Bose mainly contributed his whole life in working with the
independence of the India against the British. After the news of airplane crash there is no any
kind of news.
