The nation is celebrating the 129th Birth Anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose as Parakram Diwas (Day of Courage) to remember Netaji’s indomitable spirit, selfless service, and contributions to India’s Independence.
*Arrest and Release*
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was arrested by British police near Bombay in March 1936 upon his return from Europe. He was detained under anti-terrorism regulations. After detaining him for a few weeks in Yeravda Jail, the British administration took him to Kurseong in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal and interned him in the house of his own brother. The arrest of Netaji in 1936 was widely resented. The issue of vindictive treatment of Bose by the British government was highly condemned throughout the country, and an adjournment motion was brought in the Central Legislative Assembly. The public and political pressure forced British Authorities to release him unconditionally on 17th March 1937.
