The Making of Netaji: The Rise of a Revolutionary in the time of India's Independence Struggle

Explore the evolution, intellect, and fiery spirit of Subhash Chandra Bose through his own speeches, letters, and writings in this powerful inaugural volume of The Index Series by The Bombay Circle Press!

About the Book: Inquilab Zindabad wasn’t an overnight success; it took years of blood, sweat, and tears for India's freedom movement to rise. In The Making of Netaji, readers are taken on a profound journey tracing Bose’s growth into a pivotal, uncompromising figure in the struggle against the British Raj. As part of The Index Series, this curated collection spans from 1912 to 1945, capturing the intellectual and philosophical backbone of his political ideology. Told largely in his own words, the volume blends iconic rallying cries like "Give me blood, and I promise you freedom!" with in-depth writings such as A Glimpse of the Future. Born into privilege and given an English education, Bose left his higher studies for a higher calling: to return home and fight for his motherland. Arranged chronologically, this collection features personal letters exchanged with his mother—revealing a lesser-known inner turmoil that forged his national leadership—alongside documents detailing his formation of the Azad Hind Fauj. Offering a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the man behind the movement, this book proves that even decades later, his footprints remain deeply embedded in the soil of the nation.
