History of the festival
Subhash Chandra Bose was born on 23 January 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa, and became one of the most influential figures in the Indian freedom movement. He was known for his determination and leadership, as well as his catchphrase "Give me blood and I will give you freedom!", which inspired many people to fight against British colonial rule.
Bose also founded the Indian National Army (INA) and was one of the first Indian leaders to use force to fight for independence. His works and ideas continue to inspire Indians to this day.
