As part of the 125th birth anniversary celebrations of nationalist Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, a play on his life and sacrifice for the country, The Bose, Mahanayaka, was staged in Dharwad on Tuesday.
South Central Zone Cultural Centre (SCZCC), Nagpur, in collaboration with Rangayana Dharwad and G.B. Joshi Memorial Trust, Dharwad, organised the show. The play was staged at Pt. Basavaraj Rajguru Open Air Theatre on the Rangayana premises.
Subhas Chandra Bose, an Indian nationalist, showed defiance to the British authority in India and that made him a hero. However, his wartime visits to Nazi Germany and Japan have left a vexed legacy. The honorific Netaji (Respected Leader) was first applied to Bose in Germany in early 1942 by Indian soldiers and now, he is popularly known by it.
