It was 26th January of 1928 when #NetajiSubhasChandraBose raised the demand for PURNA SWARAJ in Kolkata Conference of AICC. Unfortunately his demand was denied by #Gandhi and #MotilalNehru. But one year later his demand was granted in 1929 at Lahore Congress and ultimately India celebrated it’s first Independence Day in #26th January of 1930. In the leadership of young #SubhasChandra it became a festival and continued till 1947 even after his termination from Congress before we got DOMINION STATUS. Bharatiya Ganaparished accepted the day of 26th January as our REPUBLIC DAY in 1950. Netaji was betrayed by the Congress because of power and politics but his announced day of 26th January is recognised in Indian History as our day of Democratic Rights. #HappyRepublicDay_72 #JayatuNetaji #JaiHind #ryasktourism #travelforlocal #sundarbanwildcamp (at Kolkata - The City of Love) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKerPpiglQ3/?igshid=46xfj1xisz1j
