Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Inspirational Quotes Give me your blood, and I'll give you your freedom! India is beckoning. Blood is crying out for blood. We don't have time to waste, so get up. And go out there and make our country free. These are the famous quotes of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, who was an Indian nationalist and political leader. He was imprisoned by the British for most of his life but later on he became one of the main leaders of the independence movement. In 1997, the government of India announced that all records relating to his life had been found in a secret cache in Singapore. These documents have now been made public for the first time. Subhas was born on 26 April 1897 in Kolkata (then known as Calcutta), West Bengal. His father's name was Chandra Bhanja Bose and his mother's name was Rabindranath Tagore's wife Amiya. He had two sisters named Sunanda and Sarada. The family lived in a wealthy Hindu Bengali family. But when Subhas was only eight years old, the violence caused by religious discrimination began to affect him greatly. This inspired him to become a revolutionary and fight for India's independence. He went to Germany for medical treatment when he was 17 years old.
