It's good to see Netaji getting the recognition he deserves. The hologram statue at India Gate was a powerful tribute. We need to teach our children more about leaders like him, not just in textbooks but through such memorials.

"Give me blood and I will give you freedom" - this quote still gives me goosebumps. A different path from Gandhi ji, but the same goal. Respect.

As someone who studied Indian history, Netaji's story is fascinating. The INA trials at the Red Fort were a pivotal moment. Glad his legacy is being actively remembered now.

While the tributes are important, I sometimes feel we remember these great leaders only on their birth and death anniversaries. Their ideals should guide our daily actions and politics. Just my two paise.

Naming the islands after Param Vir Chakra awardees is a brilliant way to connect our past and present heroes. Netaji would have approved. Parakram Diwas is a fitting name for his birthday.
