As an adolescent, Subhas Chandra Bose had questioned his mother, "Will the condition of our country continue to go from bad to worse - will not any son of Mother India in distress, in total disregard of his selfish interests, dedicate his whole life to the cause of the Mother?" Intuitively aware of his own destiny as the selfsame gallant knight of "Mother India in distress," Bose was largely instrumental in hastening the departure of the British Empire from the soil of India by virtue of his undisputed military valour and inspiring leadership of the I.N.A. Yet, despite the reluctant and grudging testimony of the likes of Lord Mountbatten and Clement Atlee, it is passing strange that narratives of his stellar role in the Indian freedom struggle continue to languish in the anonymous corridors of History. This Special Number of Re-Markings addresses every possible aspect of Bose's life, work and writings and also dwells upon related issues of contemporary relevance like women empowerment, communal amity, economic planning, caste/class dichotomy, make-in-lndia initiative, role of media in state governance, corruption in high places, that Bose had been concerned with in his perpetual 'discovery of India.' The volume is bound to be of abiding interest for everyone interested in the remaking of a nation in consonance with the legacy bequeathed to us by the immortal legend of India's freedom.
