Abstract::Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose stands as a figure shrouded in controversy and enigma, captivating the attention of historians and researchers worldwide. While much focus has been placed on the mystery surrounding his disappearance, his intricate life story, from his presidency of Congress to his departure from the country, remains a complex narrative. This article delves into the significant arrival of Subhash Chandra Bose in Kanthi during a pivotal period in his life. Following his return from Europe, Bose endured a lengthy period of imprisonment before being elected as the President of the Indian National Congress at the Haripura session. His subsequent travels across India, including his visit to Midnapore at the behest of the Bengal Provincial Congress, left a lasting impact on the region. Bose’s presence in Kanthi breathed new life into the freedom struggle, sparking a wave of mobilization among the local populace. Despite the significance of Bose’s visit to Kanthi, his subsequent activities in India as Congress President remain relatively unexplored. This research article aims to shed light on Bose’s arrival in Kanthi, detailing his efforts in rallying the masses and shaping the course of the freedom movement.
