On this special occasion of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s 128th birth anniversary, let us reflect on the profound impact he had on India’s fight for independence, and in particular, his historic connection to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
As the first person to hoist the Indian National Flag on Indian soil here in 1943, Netaji’s bold act symbolizes the unwavering spirit of freedom and resistance that continues to inspire us today.
I am deeply proud to commemorate this moment of our shared history. Netaji’s association with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals for the cause of India’s freedom. The Islands, once under colonial rule, witnessed the rise of a new hope when Netaji unfurled our flag, marking a pivotal moment in the journey towards independence.
Netaji’s leadership and courage have always been a source of inspiration to the nation. His connection to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands is not just a historical event—it is a living legacy that continues to guide us as we work towards a brighter and more united future for our country.
On this day, let us honour his indomitable spirit and renew our commitment to the values he stood for. May Netaji’s courage and vision continue to inspire generations to come, as we celebrate the freedom he helped us achieve.
