Netaji Subash Chandra Bose is not only a name in the Indian freedom struggle to reckon with, but he is the international icon of patriotic spirit and a liberator of dismay of Asian colonialism of the west. Azad Hind Fauj or INA is the symbol of national pride for many not only in India but in the world as well. Keeping that golden legacy in mind, a unique event will be organized in Thailand.
Shri Pushpendra Kulshresth Former Secretary of the Press Club of India, Prof Kapil Kumar Chief Historian for Museums at Red Fort, New Delhi Dr. Madhusoodhan Pal will be the speakers. The participants will visit various places associated with Netaji and INA in Thailand, which include the Thai Bharat Cultural Lodge, Hindu Samj Dev Mandir, Sri Guru Singh Sabha Pahurat, and Arya Samaj.
They will also visit the site of the INA Civilian Training Centre at Chonburi which served as the army base camp of Azad Hind Fauj, They will also visit Kanchanaburi Town of Thailand, where more than 80,000 People of Indian Origin, in which 60,000 of them were Tamils, sacrificed their lives to construct a railway track and bridge for the transportation of Indian National Army soldiers and ammunitions to India through Burma.
