Subhas Chandra Bose

Subash Chandra Bose was an Indian nationalist, who worked with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan in World War II, backing the Nazi policy towards Jews, which he considered justified in the fight against British colonialism. This put him at odds with other Indian nationalists, making him controversial among mainstream historians due to his Nazi support. He was born in a large Bengali family on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack. 

Career

He was the President of Indian National Congress from 1938 to 1939. He took over the INA from Rash Behari Bose in July 1943 who co-founded the Azad Hind Army or Indian National Army (now Bharat National Army) with the help of Japan in 1942.


Death

He attempted to get rid of British rule in Bharat, but died in a plane crash in August 18, 1945 in Japanese-occupied Taiwan.
