Answer in 5-6 sentences:

Subhash Chandra Bose played a very important role in the freedom movement. Explain.

Answer 1

Subhash Chandra Bose was one of the foremost among the nationalist leaders of India, brave and youthful and he possessed the excellent organising capacity. Bose represented the young and extremist elements in the Congress. He could not make any compromise with Gandhi and thus resigned his Presidentship and organised the famous Forward Block in 1939. Subhash became the President of the Indian National Army as well as the President of Indian Independence League in 1943. Assuming the command of the I.N.A. he gave his famous battle cry “Delhi Chalo” (on to Delhi). He worked out a master plan of campaign for the INA with the ultimate goal of reaching Delhi. A Provisional Government of Azad Hind (Free India) was set up. In spite of his principle of violence Subhash Chandra Bose’s grand scheme of India’s liberation and the high idealism through INA movement inspired the people of India in an unprecedented manner. The organisation of the Azad Hind forces and their exploits are a milestone in the history of the Indian struggle for freedom; the formation of which was the brainchild of Subhash Chandra Bose.
