January 23

Subhas Chandra Bose, born on January 23, 1897, was an Indian nationalist whose uncompromising patriotism made him a hero in India, but whose attempts to free India from British domination with the support of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during World War II left a tumultuous legacy. Bose was originally given the title Netaji (Hindustani: "Respected Leader") by Indian troops of the Indische Legion and German and Indian authorities in Berlin's Special Bureau for India in early 1942. It is currently widely used in India.
