The show also presents other groups of independence involved at Bose's time, including the likes of Bagha Jatin, Sri Aurobindo, Khudiram Bose and many others associated with the Swadeshi movement . Often regarded as the greatest leader of the Indian Freedom Struggle, he fearlessly led his Indian National Army to war against the British, inspiring mass revolts and mutinies throughout the country, ultimately resulting in India's independence.
