Abstract: Subhas Chandra Bose’s political philosophy, forged during India’s struggle for independence, focused on nationalism, self-reliance, and strong centralized leadership. His approach, which included advocating for armed resistance, economic autonomy, and unity among India’s diverse communities, was shaped by global political ideologies such as socialism, fascism, and anti-colonial nationalism. This study examines Bose’s political philosophy within the context of India’s freedom struggle, analyzing its core principles and leadership views. It also explores the influence of global political movements on his thinking and assesses the continuing relevance of his ideas in the twenty-first century. The conclusions highlight Bose’s emphasis on strong leadership and economic self-sufficiency as key takeaways for modern India, offering insights into governance, national unity, and the challenges of post-colonial development.
