Subhas Chandra Bose is one of India's most controversial leaders. He was one of the few Indian leaders to attempt to win freedom by force and was a constant thorn in the side of the British, as well as Mahatma Gandhi. A revolutionary in every sense of the word, Bose spent his life haunted by a call of duty and would meet his death in attempting to answer that call in his own indomitable way.
