Question 3 of 5
3. Question
In one of his speeches, Subhash Chandra Bose gave the slogan ‘You give me blood and I will give you freedom’. Where did he give this speech?
Correct
Solution (d)
Subhas Chandra Bose was a freedom fighter in the Indian independence movement who believed in violent resistance to British colonial rule, and founded the Indian National Army, an armed Indian nationalist force.
He coined the nationalist phrase “Jai Hind” which later achieved popularity as a patriotic salutation in independent India. He labeled Mahatma Gandhi the ‘father of the nation’. In India, he is widely respected and hailed as a patriot and national hero, who stood against the British colonial forces.
Quote:
Gird up your loins for the task that now lies ahead. I had asked you for men, money and materials. I have got them in generous measure. Now I demand more of you. Men, money and materials cannot by themselves bring victory or freedom. We must have the motive-power that will inspire us to brave deeds and heroic exploits.
It is blood alone that can pay the price of freedom. Give me blood and I will give you freedom!
