Presidential Note

 "I have said that today is the proudest day of my life. For enslaved people, there can be no greater pride, no higher honour, than to be the first soldier in the army of liberation. But this honour carries with it a corresponding responsibility and I am deeply conscious of it. 


I assure you that I shall be with you in darkness and in sunshine, in sorrows and in joy, in suffering and in victory.

For the present, I can offer you nothing except hunger, thirst, privation, forced marches and deaths. But if you follow me in life and in death - as I am confident you will - I shall lead you to victory and freedom.

It does not matter who among us will live to see India free. It is enough that India shall be free and that we shall give our all to make her free. May God now bless our army and grant us victory in the coming fight. 

Inquilab Zindabad ! Azad Hind Zindabad !"

This was the concluding remarks of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose on the 5th July, 1943 at Singapore after taking over the charge of President of Indian Independence League from Rash Behari Bose on July 4, the previous day.

I demand of you blood. It is blood alone that can avenge the blood that the enemy has spilt. It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom.  Give me blood and I promise you freedom "

In 1956, Clement Attlee had come to India and stayed in Kolkata as a guest of the then governor. Remember, Clement Richard Attlee was the man, who as leader of the Labour Party and British Prime Minister between 1945 and 1951, signed off on the decision to grant Independence to India. PB Chakraborthy was at that time the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court and was also serving as the acting Governor of West Bengal. He wrote a letter to the publisher of RC Majumdar's book, A History of Bengal. In this letter, the Chief Justice wrote, "When I was acting Governor, Lord Attlee, who had given us independence by withdrawing British rule from India, spent two days in the Governor's palace at Calcutta during his tour of India. At that time I had a prolonged discussion with him reg...
