Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday paid tributes to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on his birth anniversary, observed as Parakram Diwas, recalling the freedom fighter’s fearless leadership, unwavering patriotism and enduring contribution to India’s independence struggle.

In a series of posts on X, the prime minister said Netaji’s ideals continue to inspire generations to build a strong and self-reliant India. He also outlined steps taken by his government to preserve and promote Bose’s legacy, while criticising previous governments for neglecting his historical contribution.

“On the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, which is commemorated as Parakram Diwas, we recall his indomitable courage, resolve and unparalleled contribution to the nation,” PM Modi said, adding that Bose symbolised fearless leadership and deep patriotism.

Recalling personal inspiration and early initiatives

The prime minister said Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had always inspired him and recalled launching the e-Gram Vishwagram Yojana in Gujarat on January 23, 2009, during his tenure as chief minister, as a tribute to the freedom fighter.

He noted that the scheme, aimed at transforming Gujarat’s IT landscape, was launched from Haripura, a place closely associated with Bose. PM Modi said he vividly remembered the public reception and procession organised along the same route where Netaji had once travelled.

PM Modi also recalled a major programme organised in Ahmedabad in 2012 to mark Azad Hind Fauj Day, which was attended by people inspired by Bose, including former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma.

Criticism of past governments

The prime minister said remembering Netaji’s contribution did not “fit the agenda of those who ruled the nation for decades,” alleging that efforts were made to forget his role in India’s freedom movement.

“Our beliefs are different. At every possible juncture, we have popularised his life and ideals,” he said, describing the declassification of files and documents related to Netaji Bose as a landmark step.

Key initiatives highlighted

PM Modi said 2018 marked a significant year, citing the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Azad Hind government at the Red Fort and the 75th anniversary of Bose unfurling the tricolour in Srivijayapuram, now Port Blair.

He also noted that three prominent islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands were renamed, including Ross Island, which was renamed Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Dweep.

At the Red Fort, the Kranti Mandir museum houses historical material related to Netaji Bose and the Indian National Army, including the cap worn by the leader, the prime minister said.

Statue near India Gate and Parakram Diwas

The prime minister said Netaji’s birth anniversary was officially declared as Parakram Diwas to honour his legacy. He also referred to his 2021 visit to Netaji Bhawan in Kolkata, from where Bose made his historic escape.

Highlighting a symbolic move to shed colonial mindset, PM Modi said the decision to install a grand statue of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose near India Gate reflected the government’s reverence for the freedom fighter.

“This grand statue will inspire people for generations to come,” the prime minister said.
