Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Early life and history

Prabhavati Dutt Bose and Janakinath Bose welcomed their son, Subhas Chandra Bose, on January 23, 1897, in Cuttack, Orissa. His father held the title of "Rai Bahadur" and was a well-known lawyer in Cuttack. After reading Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna's writings at the age of 16, he was inspired by their teachings.

He joined the Non-Cooperation Movement, which Mahatma Gandhi started and turned into a powerful non-violent movement. Mahatma Gandhi advised him to work with Chittaranjan Das, who later served as his political mentor, during the movement.

The formation and activities of the Azad Hind Fauj, commonly known as the Indian National Army, or INA, were significant developments in the fight for liberation during the Second World War under Netaji's leadership.
