Subhas Chandra Bose was born in Cuttack, Orissa on 1897 JAN 23. After the capture of Bengal by the British in 1757, Indians fought in various ways to oust them from the country. The most important of them was the First War of Independence in 1857. It failed without proper leadership and proper organization. But, no one could have imagined that Subhas Chandra Bose, who was born more than 40 years after this freedom struggle, would continue that armed struggle!

Subhas's father was Janakinath Bose and his mother was Prabhavathidevi. Janakinath originally hails from the 24 Parganas district of Bengal. He had gone to Cuttack for his legal profession and had settled in Cuttack when Subhas was born.

Apart from being very famous, He also earned a lot of money. He was also an influential person in Cuttack and was elected as the very first president of the municipality there. In 1912, he also became a member of the Bengal Legislative Council. He was also awarded 'Rao Bahadur award by the government as a government advocate. However, he was an active member of the Congress Party and protested against the repressive measures taken by the government to suppress Mahatma Gandhi's 1930s non-cooperation movement returned the 'Rao Bahadur' award given to him. Apart from being a generous donor to philanthropic works, he was also a deeply religious person. He was also the patron of Khadi and Swadeshi and National Educational Institutions. When his two sons Sarath and Subhas involved themselves in Congress and national work, he supported them wholeheartedly.

Janakinath's family is full. May Subhas was the ninth of his eleven children. Similarly, sixth among male children. Mother Prabhavathi Devi was a strong-willed woman who combined practicality and practicality. He was very competent in the management of the entire household and kept the family running smoothly.

Among Subhas's ancestors were Mahipati Bose (Subuddhi Khan) and Gopinath Bose (Purandara Khan) who held positions as ministers and admirals under the Sultanate of Bengal. Due to this, the mentality of respecting other religions had developed among this family. Bose said in his autobiography that 'where we lived, Muslims were in majority and they lived all around us'. 'We at all their festivals We were participating. Especially, we danced with them happily during Muharram. I don't remember seeing Muslims as heathens in any way. The only difference we knew was that if we go to the temples, they go to the mosque, he said about the religious unity he saw.'

Bose's large-heartedness was not limited to Muslims. Describing his childhood, he says: 'All my childhood association was with English people. Also, we were used to English education and English culture. After that, we returned to our traditional Indian culture!.' Bose was an extraordinary genius of great intelligence. A subtlety that grasped any idea immediately. A brilliant student who cleared the matric exam with top marks! However, his hungry soul was not satisfied with devouring school textbooks! As a youth, I.C.S. was the dream of every youth of that time.

Sacrifice in his youth shows the spirit of Bose. Apart from learning yogic experiments, he also engaged in social service. He formed groups of students and started visiting villages and providing help and comfort to those affected by epidemic diseases like plague, cholera, and measles.

Bose tended to be resistant to what he did not like and to think independently and make decisions. It was a quality from his childhood At an age when he had to play with boys like everyone else, he was inclined towards spiritual life. Simplicity and gentility were the birth qualities that came with them! Even if you want to eat at home, you have to have an agreed meal, modest clothes, and an adventure trend that makes you happy in the sun, rain, and cold. This behavior of the boy Subhas Chandra Bose was seen as strange and surprising not only to the family but also to the neighbors. Teasing words were also heard here and there. But such sly words of the neighbors had no effect on Bose's determination. He likes the life of struggle very much!

At the age of 15, Subhas had a mental breakdown and started experiencing severe mental turmoil within himself. There was a conflict between the natural attraction of worldly greed and the attraction of spiritual elevation. One day at home, without informing anyone, Bose gathered five or six of his friends and held a meeting, visiting all the holy places of North India, and worshiping the Guru. However, the Guru was not found and God was not seen. When I saw the business that was being done in the name of religion, and that innocent mind started to feel severe pain. Then Vivekananda came into his life. He finished reading all the books of Vivekananda. Atma found the treasure he had been looking for for a long time! Through it, every man should aim to find his own liberation. Also, he realized the truth that life should be devoted to the service of humanity.

Like Vivekananda, Subhas also practiced the teachings of his guru Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Sacrifice as a means of mukti or liberation was perceived as the essence of Ramakrishna's teachings. Also, he practiced all the scriptures related to yoga in detail. He now realizes that yoga is the cure for mental and religious problems! Even in the middle of all these struggles, his studies went on. When the matriculation examination was held and the result was out, Subhas had passed in the top rank. This made his parents very happy.

Subhas moved to the city of Kolkata (then Calcutta) in 1913 from a remote rural environment. The best of Kolkata University. He got admission to Presidency College where he was studying. He had set foot in Kolkata with certain ideas and principles of his own. All were determined not to walk on the worn path, but on a path that would help their spiritual advancement and the prosperity of their fellow countrymen.

Subhas's circle of friends is large. All of them together founded the 'Vivekananda Sangh'. Addressing the gathering, Subhas said, 'Friends, there is no Ananta Darshan in the classroom. It is only possible to get out there and search. First, let's find the 'guru' who gives life vision. "There is no virtue without a Guru," clearly put forward his argument. Then, five or six of his close friends agreed and went ahead with the task. One day in 1914, this group of friends joined and the wandering began again. Kashi, Haridwar. Mathura, Brindavan and so on visited all the holy places in the whole of North India. Sages, Sadhus, and Mounibabas were also seen. But Guru was nowhere to be found! Where does it end? Nothing came to light. All the friends started insisting on going back. However, there is a monk who is a great ascetic in Badrinath. He said he could show the way. Well, Subhas and his friend Hemanta get ready to leave for Badrinath. The rest returned. After two days of arduous journey, he joined Badari and saw that ascetic. They were curious about the young man who had come so far to find them. He was pleased to know that Subhas was aware of Vivekananda's literature. He spent all his youth with Vivekananda. He began: 'Swami Vivekananda used to emphasize that the immediate need of our country was political freedom. He had great faith in the youth of this country. It was his belief that the day the youth of our country realizes their self-sufficiency, they will throw out the British and bring freedom to the country.'

He continued: 'Son, the fighting spirit is evident in your face. Using it, free this country from foreign policy. Engage your strength and talents for the country. The country needs you a lot. Get out!" he demanded. Subhas returned to Kolkata. The way forward was now clear to him. Subhas Chandra saw sharp philosophical and political transitions during the next two years of his college. His inner strength had also increased considerably.

In 1916, two events that happened at Presidency College changed the course of Subhas's life completely. Unable to bear the indifference and insults shown to Indian students, the students started a movement. Its leader - Subhas was expelled from the college. The parents, who had high hopes for their son's future, were disturbed by this. A year's study was wasted, but due to the persistent efforts of his father Janakinatha Bose, and the cooperation of Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, he got admission to the Scottish Church College. In spite of all these confusions - without any interruption to the brilliance of Subhas's intellectual light - he graduated in 1919 with a B.A. in Philosophy. (Hons.) Degree passed with Secondary Rank. By this time he was disillusioned with philosophy. Now his interest turned to psychology. However, father Janakinath Bose and elder brother Sarath Chandra went to England and joined ICS. Subhas was told to sit for the exam. Also, they gave only 24 hours time to make a decision on that. Subhas pondered this very deeply. I.C.S. He could not even dream of passing out and working under the British Government! But, there was time for that too. So I.C.S. He agreed to go to England to practice even if he did not have the experience of the exam.

When Subhas Chandra Bose boarded the ship for England on September 15, 1919, the First World War was over and the armistice was a couple of weeks away. The impact of the war was not so much on Hindustan. Jallianwala Bagh massacre, before Subhas left the country though it happened, the government prevented the full information from coming out. So its details were not fully known to the people of the country. Got admission to a good college in Cambridge. In June 1920, permission was given to take the examination. The exam was held in July. When the results were out in September, Subhas had qualified fourth!

The 'heavenly' career of the Indian youth was now in the hands of Subhas Chandra! Strangely, this I.C.S. Success had brought him the first major problem of his life! Sacrificing the principles and noble ideals they hoped to rule their lives for 'heavenly' happiness? He got into a dilemma. If we give allegiance to foreign rulers and sell ourselves, how can India get freedom? struggle No freedom from sacrifices, surrender to foreign powers, remain slaves? Subhas, who pondered deeply, informed the elders of the house and proceeded with his next course of action.

Secretary to the British Government on 22 April 1921 Montague wrote to I.C.S. Subhas informed that he was withdrawing his name from the list of probationers and withdrawing from the service. This issue created a great stir in the Indian community in England. It was also heavily debated all over India. As much as the news was sensational, it was met with massive public praise! Subhas's mother blessed him by telling him that no matter what others say, only Subhas should follow the ideals believed in by Mahatma Gandhi.
