How should October 21 be remembered? A young student sits with a piece of history. He is tired of hearing the clamor of multiple incidents. Google gives him information with some true-false names and pronunciations, but what happened on this day that he has to remember? Yes. Every citizen should commemorate this historic day. India became independent, not completely but in a divided state, on the night of August 15, 1947. In 1950 the Constitution was framed, the people committed themselves to it and the government was an independent, sovereign, parliamentary democracy. There had been two governments before this, one of them was 'Arzi Hakumat-e-Azad Hind', which formed its own army and freed the land up to Imphal from slavery. On October 21, Subhash Chandra Bose announced to a large crowd in Singapore that freedom from slavery had to be taken on such roads. In 1916 the Irish people formed such a Provisional Government… I would be ready to lay down my life and everything. This government is also because all the leaders in India are in jails. The people are completely unarmed. We have to fight the last fight. This government's appearance was not enough. There was a whole cabinet, the Prime Minister, the Sarsenpati. The War Minister, Foreign Minister was Subhash Chandra Bose. S. A. Iyer, Lt. A. C. Chatterjee, Aziz Ahmad Khan, N. S. Bhagat, Jagannathrao Bhonsale, Gulzar Singh, M. Z. Kiani, A.D. Lokanathan, Ishan Qadir, Shahnawaz Khan, Devnath Das, D. M. Khan, John Thivy, Vai. Yelappa, Iswar Singh, B.A.N. Sarkar and the most senior Rasbihari Bose. Ras Bihari, the 'Father of the Revolution', was active right from the Gadar movement. Bombed the Viceroy's carriage in Delhi and was active in fomenting revolts like 1857 in Punjab-Uttar Pradesh-Bengal and reached Japan for further struggle. There founded the Indian Independence League. The British army was defeated in World War II and formed an army of Indian POWs. Like himself, Subhash Bose, who reached across the border from Bengal by putting dust in the eyes of the British intelligence, called Japan from Germany and surrendered the Azad Hind Army and then the Azad Hind government was formed. This government had its own constitution. The national flag was established. Bank and currency determined. A national anthem was composed, Rangoon became its headquarters, and the government's Azad Hind Fauj was proclaimed, and on the night of October 23, war was formally declared against British rule. This battle was fought. In the jungles of Arakan, on the banks of the Irrawaddy River. The fierce battle that the Azad Hind Force fought with the help of Japan has been described in British war documents as 'the most shocking defeat' of the entire world war. The British army alone could not fight, so the help of America was taken. The Yorkshire Regiment, Durham Light Infantry, Royal Cats were thrown out, and the Azad Hind Army lacked enough weapons. heavy rain Malaria mosquitoes. Drop leaflets from British planes or come, you will get plenty of food, arms, pay. In reply these brave soldiers would say: Ghulami ki roti se azadi ka ghas achcha hai. 50000 soldiers fought a bloody battle under this Azad Hind government till Imphal. Rangoon was its headquarters. Singapore, Saigon, Bangkok other stations. Azad Radio also started. This government also got the recognition of many countries. Burma, Japan, Germany, Croatia, Italy, Thailand were the main ones. The army had two slogans, 'Jai Hind' and 'Chalo Delhi.' Subhash's declaration was in everyone's hearts: Tum muze khun do, main tumhe Azadi doonga…' and this resolve created history. In 1943, Japan handed over Andaman-Nicobar to the Azad Hind Army. Since 1857, this was the land of torture for freedom fighters. Savarkar was also a prisoner here. Some went mad, some cut their lives short. Before India's independence, Netaji hoisted the national flag here. The next mission was a bloody battle en route from Rangoon to Imphal. This victory saga up to Maygong and Imphal was not common. Earlier reservation was taken. Second Commander L.S. Mishra inflicted a crushing defeat on the British Seventh Division. The British army fled leaving all their equipment. The Japanese general even sent a message to Netaji that due to a misunderstanding we considered the soldiers of the Azad Army as normal. These turned out to be great heroes. This victory path was shaped in just eight months. March 19, 1944 India's dearest touch. National flag at Kohima on 8th April. Colonel Thakur Singh was the chief among them. This resolution story of 3 million Southeast Asian Indians. 26000 soldiers of Azad Hind laid down their lives on this wasteland. Jhansi Rani Sena and Bal Sena, the entire donation of 100 Gujarati-Punjabi-South Indian rich….Major General Dr. G. d. Bakshi has given some important details in his official book 'Bose: An Indian Samurai'. He wrote that 26000 soldiers died, but if you call Kharag without a shield, it is not called self-destruction?
