Subhas Chandra Bose was the leader of Indian National Congress during 1920 and 1930, and was elected as president of the party in 1938 and 1939. Nevertheless, he left the party in 1939 due to differences with Mahatma Gandhi. He thought to free India from the colonial British rule by taking foreign help during the World War II.

Meanwhile, he was taken into house arrest several times by the British before eventually escaping from India in the year 1940. Thereafter, he went to Germany and then formed the Indian National Army in 1942 in Southeast Asia during World War II. He inspired thousands of fellow Indians to join INA with the objective to free India from British rule.

It is also worth mentioning that Netaji secured 4th place in the ICS Exam, however he resigned as he refused to work under a foreign government. For him, working as an ICS Officer would be serving British. After leaving ICS, he wrote to his brother Sarat Chandra Bose - "Only on the soil of sacrifice and suffering can we raise our national edifice”.
