Parakaram Diwas

 

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, a Congress leader-turned-Indian nationalist hero who controversially courted Germany and Japan and courageously led an underprepared but determined force to fight the British during World War 2, was born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, which was then a part of the Bengal Province.

Subhash Chandra Bose Jayanti officially known as Parakram Diwas, every year on January 23, is commemorated in remembrance of Netaji’s courage as one of India’s greatest liberation fighters.

This day honours the birth of India’s most renowned revolutionary and visionary freedom warrior, who devoted his whole life to the defence of his country’s honour and independence. India celebrates this day as a nation, with some states even declaring it a public holiday. 

 

A man of immense bravery and determination, Subhash Chandra Bose was also a scholar, a warrior, a leader, an intellectual, a socialist, a visionary, and a loyal son of his homeland. His tireless pursuit of his country’s independence brought him the most important and prestigious title in history: Netaji.

 Parakram Diwas Significance 

Celebrated as a day of bravery, Parakram Diwas invites people to consider Netaji’s unwavering spirit and the sacrifices he made in the fight for India’s freedom. 

This day’s significance derives from the collective memory of a nation that looked to Netaji’s leadership for inspiration during trying times.

The unwavering will, strategic acumen, and passionate belief in the values of bravery and freedom that characterized Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s contribution to India’s independence movement. 

His well-known statement, “Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom,” sums up his style of leadership and highlights the costs he was willing to pay for an India freed from colonial rule.

He stands out in the annals of history for his support of total independence and deviation from the customary route. Because it may stir up feelings of patriotism and serve as a reminder of the nation’s heroic leaders’ sacrifices, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Jayanti is significant.
