Netaji Speech (To INA soldiers, September 22, 1944),

"Our motherland is seeking liberty. She can no more live without liberty. But liberty demands sacrifice at its altar. Liberty demands the unstinted sacrifice of your strength, your wealth, all that you value, all that you possess. 


Like the revolutionaries of the past, you must sacrifice your ease, your comfort, your pleasures, your cash, your property. You have given your sons as soldiers for the battlefields. But the Goddess of Liberty is not yet appeased. 

I shall tell you the secret of pleasing her. Today she demands not merely fighters, soldiers, for the Fauj. Today she demands rebels- men rebels and women rebels- who will be prepared to join Suicide Squads- for whom death is a certainty - rebels who will be ready to drown the enemy in the streams of blood that shall flow from their own body. 
You give me your blood, I shall get you freedom- this is the demand of Liberty. 

Listen to me. 

I do not want your emotional approval. I want rebels to step forward and sign this Suicide Squad oath- this document which is an appointment with death in ordinary ink. You shall have to write with your own blood. Step up those who dare, I am here to witness your blood-seal for the liberty of our motherland."
