On the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, his resignation letter from the Indian Civil Service (ICS) in 1921 went viral. A copy of Netaji’s letter was shared by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan on Twitter. Kaswan captioned the post: “On April 22, 1921, Subhash #Bose resigned from the Indian Civil Service to participate in the freedom struggle. For a big reason. Then he was 24 years old. His original resignation letter from service. Tributes to him on his birth anniversary. (sic)” The letter is dated April 22, 1921, and Bose addressed it to the Secretary of State, Edwin Montagu. The first sentence reads: “I want my name to be removed from the list of probationers in the Indian Civil Service. Bose also added in his letter that he was given an allowance of one hundred pounds, which he would send to the India office as soon as his resignation was accepted.
As reported by The Indian Express, the letter shared by Kaswan is a copy obtained from National Archives India. It was also shared on Twitter by Nirupama Menon Rao, a retired IFS officer in 2016.

A Twitter user commented, “Only a courageous, selfless and enthusiastic soul like Subhash Bose can take such a decision for a greater cause to free his motherland from British rule.”

Yesterday, on the occasion of Netaji’s birth anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced plans to erect a “grand statue” of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose at the India Gate memorial to commemorate Netaji’s 125th birth anniversary. While the work to build and install this statue will take time, the Prime Minister’s Office said that a “hologram statue of Netaji” will be installed at the same location and unveiled by PM Modi.
The hologram statue of Netaji will be powered by a 4K projector that will be capable of providing a brightness level of 30,000 lumens. These projectors are expensive and usually cost upwards of Rs 15 lakh for a unit, that too with a maximum projection capacity of around 13×13 feet. The size of the hologram statue is 28 feet high and 6 feet wide. According to a statement by the PMO, this holographic screen will be almost invisible offering high mileage and will be erected in such a way that it is not visible to the visitors. Holographic screen quality is important to show that the 3D image is floating ‘naturally’ on the air and not coming off the screen.
