Subhash Chandra Bose, also known as "Netaji," was arrested and imprisoned several times by the British government during his involvement in the Indian independence movement. In 1924, Bose was arrested for his participation in the Non-Cooperation Movement, a campaign of non-violent resistance against British colonial rule, and he was sentenced to a year in prison. In 1927, Bose was arrested again and sentenced to another year in prison for his involvement in the independence movement. In 1940, Bose was arrested for the third time and sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison for his activities in the Forward Bloc, a coalition of Indian nationalist groups that he had formed. In 1941 Bose escaped from house arrest in Calcutta and went to Germany, from where he traveled to Japan. In addition to his time in Indian prisons, Bose was also held as a prisoner of war by the British after the INA failed to defeat the British Indian army and he was captured by British Indian army. In total, Bose spent several years in prison in India and as a prisoner of war. These imprisonments were not only physical but also a mental and emotional burden on him, but they didn't stop him from continuing his fight for India's independence.
