Subhas Chandra Bose, a man of huge stature who admired Gandhi but despaired at his aims and methods, and became a bitter rival of Nehru. Bose played a very active and prominent role in India’s political life post 1930s. For example, he was twice (1938 and 1939) elected President of the Indian National Congress, the country’s most important political force for freedom from the Raj, or British rule. While his memory is still held in high esteem in India, in the West Bose is much less revered, largely because of his wartime collaboration with the Axis powers. Both before and during the Second World War, Bose worked tirelessly to secure German and Japanese support in freeing his beloved homeland of foreign rule. During the final two years of the war, Bose with considerable Japanese backing led the forces of the Indian National Army into battle against the British. Netaji, without a shadow of a doubt, remains one of the most key figures in the history of India’s independence. He played a crucial role in freeing the country from the clutches of 200 years of British rule in his own inimitable way, much like the other leading lights of the day such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Till the last day of his life as an active freedom fighter, he kept the spirit of fighting the British till his last breath. Today Netaji is perhaps the tallest name in modern Indian history and our contemporary military and foreign policy are guided by the impact that Bose has left on the independent Mother Land - INDIA.

Narendra Modi has come with a Modi 2.0 as the most loved national leader. Now it appears 2014 was no aberration. Alongside his charismatic and famous persona, the 2019 victory was certainly fuelled by the relentless and highly apt style of campaigning. The figure of Modi has towered over the entire contest of elections like no other prime minister since Indira Gandhi in the 1970s. People have reposed faith in him despite not being satisfied with the kind of economic policies the government has made so far or the WAY the Indian economy is managed by the present government. His popularity has incessantly increased compared with 2014 in India and abroad. Modi’s recent USA visit, howdy Modi show, PRC President India’s visit to Chennai to improve Indo-China relations, PM Modi Saudi Arab visit to enhance trade and commerce, German Chancellor Indian visit with a focus on high tech transfer of cutting edge technologies has shaken the foreign policy of India dramatically. Though the months leading to the elections were quite a bumpy ride for the BJP, Modi’s promise that ‘good days are ahead’ literally turned into a milestone and the party had a terrific win. The chowkidar’s impeccable strength and hard work represented a stunning vote of confidence in him by the people of India. No Indian prime minister has ever returned to power with such a huge mandate. A simple man from Gujarat changed the idea of India, the perspective of the Indian people and the endeavour to create a corruption-free country.
