A book written exclusively on Subhas Chandra Bose - his family, education, political life, and his struggle for Indian freedom. Readers will find it interesting to know his adventurous submarine journey from Germany to South East Asia which is unparallel in the World history. The facts of establishing the Provisional Azad Hind Government recognised by nine sovereign states of the world and also the formation of Indian National Army by him to fight against the British is no less interesting. His mysterious disappearance and the fake story of his death in an air crash still remain unanswered. The Government of India tried thrice in 1956, 1970 and in 1999 to solve the Netaji's mysterious disappearance by setting up committees or commissions but the mystery remains. This is something unique in World history. Shah Nawaz Committee (1956) and Khosla Commission (1970) set up by the Government of India reported that Netaji died in an air crash in Taihoku, Taipei, on August 18, 1945. But Justice Mukherjee Commission (1999) opined that there was no such air crash at all. The chapter 'Unforgettable Past' has added special importance to the book. It is a chronology of events in Netaji's life and activities.

Noted historian Ian Talbot has written a new history of modern South Asia that considers the Indian Subcontinent in regional rather than in solely national terms. A leading expert on the Partition of 1947, Talbot focuses here on the combined history of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh since 1757 and specifically on the impact of external influences on the local peoples and cultures. This text explores the region’s colonial and postcolonial past, and the cultural and economic Indian reaction to the years of British authority, thus viewing the transformation of modern South Asia through the lens of a wider world.

'Azad Hind Fauj' still holds a special place in the hearts of millions of Indians. In 1944, the Azad Hind Fauj confronted the British in a direct combat, liberating places like Kohima and Pallel, among other Indian regions, from British rule. On September 22, 1944, during Martyrs' Day, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, using poignant words, told his soldiers, "Our motherland is in search of freedom. You give me blood, and I will give you freedom." Unfortunately, the tide of World War Il turned, with Germany's surrender and Japan also facing defeat. Consequently, these countries reneged on their support for the Azad Hind Fauj. Around the same time, the British devised strategies to corner Netaji. As a result, Netaji had to retreat towards Tokyo, and it is said that he met his fate in a plane crash. Today, the Azad Hind Fauj is enshrined in golden letters in India's glorious and revolutionary history. This book provides a window into the true history of freedom fighters who sacrificed everything for the nation's independence. It narrates an inspirational tale of the revolutionary movements and the sacrifices made by devoted patriots during India's struggle for independence, making it an incredibly compelling read.
