{{Heading1|title=नेताजी श्री सुभाष चंद्र बोस}}'''Shri Subhas Chandra Bose "Netaji"''' (23 January 1897 – 18 August 1945) was an Indian anti-colonial nationalist whose defiance of British authority in India made him a hero among many Indians, but his wartime alliances with Nazi Germany and Fascist Japan left a legacy vexed by authoritarianism, anti-Semitism,and military failure. The honorific 'Netaji' (Hindustani: "Respected Leader") was first applied to Bose in Germany in early 1942—by the Indian soldiers of the ''Indische Legion'' and by the German and Indian officials in the Special Bureau for India in Berlin. It is now used throughout India.{{Template2|N1=Rashtra Nayak|N2=Subhas Chandra Bose|N3=Netaji|image2=INA_Insignia.svg.png|image=Subhash_Chandra_Bose_Ji_01.png|title1=स्वतंत्र भारत के प्रथम प्रधानमन्त्री (1943)|summary1=नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस जी भारतवर्ष के उस क्रांतिकारी नेतृत्व के शिखर प्रतीक हैं, जिन्होंने स्वतंत्रता को केवल राजनीतिक माँग नहीं, बल्कि सशस्त्र संकल्प बनाया। 1943 में उन्होंने ब्रिटिश शासन से मुक्त प्रथम आज़ाद हिंद सरकार की स्थापना एक निर्वासित सरकार के रूप में की और उसके राष्ट्राध्यक्ष, प्रधान मंत्री तथा युद्ध एवं विदेश मामलों के मंत्री के रूप में नेतृत्व किया। उनके आह्वान—“तुम मुझे खून दो, मैं तुम्हें आज़ादी दूँगा”—ने भारत की आत्मा को जाग्रत किया और स्वतंत्रता संग्राम को वैश्विक मंच पर नई धार दी। नेताजी का जीवन भारत के गौरव, स्वाभिमान और पूर्ण स्वतंत्रता के अडिग संकल्प का अमर प्रतीक है।}}Bose was born into wealth and privilege in a large Bengali family in Orissa during the British Raj.

In April 1941 Bose arrived in Nazi Germany, where the leadership offered unexpected but equivocal sympathy for India's independence. German funds were employed to open a Free India Centre in Berlin. A 3,000-strong Free India Legion was recruited from among Indian POWs captured by Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps to serve under Bose. Although peripheral to their main goals, the Germans inconclusively considered a land invasion of India throughout 1941. By the spring of 1942, the German army was mired in Russia and Bose became keen to move to southeast Asia, where Japan had just won quick victories. Adolf Hitler during his only meeting with Bose in late May 1942 agreed to arrange a submarine. During this time, Bose became a father; his wife,or companion, Emilie Schenkl, gave birth to a baby girl. Identifying strongly with the Axis powers, Bose boarded a German submarine in February 1943. Off Madagascar, he was transferred to a Japanese submarine from which he disembarked in Japanese-held Sumatra in May 1943. | In April 1941 Bose arrived in Nazi Germany, where the leadership offered unexpected but equivocal sympathy for India's independence.
