Some kind of profit is definitely associated with every investment. You hardly find any businessman who invests only for the betterment for society and people and ignores their own benefits. There were some investments made in pre independent era in India by Netaji Subash Chandra Bose to bring freedom. He was a smart and clever freedom fighter than other freedom fighters in India. His initiatives were very strong means to achieve freedom than other means by other freedom fighters. Among those initiatives Azad Hind Radio and Azad Hind Bank are all time great.
AZAD HIND RADIO
Started by Netaji in Germany in 1942 to unite Indians against Britishers. Its headquarter was sifted to Singapore and finally to Rangoon. The radio broadcast weekly news bulletin in English,hindi,tamil,Bengali,Marathi,Punjabi,Pashtu,and Urdu as these are the widely spoken Indian languages at that time. It was a strong contestant to BBC as it always countered against the misinformation and politically sensitive news broadcasted through BBC. Subash Chandra Bose referred BBC as the "Bluff and Bluster Corporation." And All India Radio as the “anti Indian radio”. Azad Hind Radio was beamed through Berlin Radio service and went on air for the first time on January 7, 1942. Netaji used the radio to declare war against the British on October 23, 1942.
AZAD HIND BANK
The bank was opened in Rangoon on April 5, 1944 with an initial capital of Rs 50,000 drawn from voluntary donations, auctions of garlands and deposits from Indian commercial magnates, traders and taxes. The bank also sold postal stamps issued by the Provisional Government. Government of Azad Hind comprised 60,000 soldiers and other staff and till end they were paid regularly Netaji was able to collect impressive amount of money for Azad Hind Bank and Indians in south East Asia donated large amount of fund to netaji.
So, think the man behind the whole plan who was very different from others and whose approach was also very different. May be it was a failure but imagine the courage of the person who solely was a strong defendant to the British govt. His disappearance caused a great loss to India as well as to the Azad hind Fauj. He tried to defend British Govt in a very hard and clever way.
