2nd Leader of Indian National Army
Born: January 23, 1897
Died: August 18, 1945

Subhas Chandra Bose (1897–1945) was a prominent Indian nationalist leader who played a crucial role in the country’s struggle for independence against British rule. Born in Cuttack, India, Bose displayed early signs of leadership and joined the Indian National Congress, but later grew disillusioned with its moderate approach. Advocating for more assertive action, he formed the Forward Bloc in 1939.

During World War II, Bose sought foreign support to free India from British control and formed the Indian National Army (INA) with the help of Axis powers. He famously declared, “Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom,” inspiring thousands of Indians to join the INA in the fight against the British. Bose’s alliance with the Axis powers and the INA’s military campaign in Burma against the British marked a controversial chapter in India’s struggle for independence.

Subhas Chandra Bose’s mysterious disappearance in 1945 added an enigmatic dimension to his legacy, as the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear. Despite the controversies, he is remembered as a fearless and charismatic leader who left an indelible mark on India’s quest for freedom.

Subhas Chandra Bose’s 5 most popular quotes

• It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom. Give me blood, and I will give you freedom!
• When we stand, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a wall of granite; when we march, the Azad Hind Fauj has to be like a steamroller.
• One individual may die for an idea, but that idea will, after his death, incarnate itself in a thousand lives.
• We should have but one desire today: the desire to die so that India may live—the desire to face a martyr’s death, so that the path to freedom may be paved with the martyr’s blood.
• It is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be able to preserve with our own strength.

The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Antonio Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937) was an Italian Marxist philosopher, political theorist, and politician who played a significant role in shaping critical thought in the 20th century. Born in Sardinia, Gramsci co-founded the Italian Communist Party in 1921. His political activism led to his arrest by the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini in 1926.

During his imprisonment, Gramsci wrote extensively, producing his most influential work, the “Prison Notebooks.” In these writings, he explored the concept of cultural hegemony, arguing that the ruling class maintains its dominance not only through economic means but also by controlling cultural institutions and shaping popular beliefs.

Gramsci’s ideas emphasized the importance of intellectuals and cultural production in maintaining or challenging societal power structures. His work has had a profound impact on fields such as sociology, cultural studies, and political theory. Despite his premature death in 1937, Gramsci’s legacy endures, and his writings continue to inspire scholars and activists interested in understanding and transforming social and cultural dynamics.
