A ‘grand statue’ of Subhas Chandra Bose will be installed at India Gate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Friday, two days before the freedom fighter’s 125th birth anniversary.
“I am glad to share that the grand statue, made of granite, will be installed at India Gate. This would be a symbol of India’s indebtedness to him,” Prime Minister Modi tweeted.

A three-dimensional image formed by the interference of light beams from a laser or other coherent light source.
Holography is a unique method of photography whereby 3D objects are recorded using a laser and then restored as precisely as possible to match the originally recorded object.
When illuminated via a laser, holograms are able to form an exact 3D clone of the object and duplicate its features.
Unlike conventional 3D projections, holograms can be seen with the naked eye.

The dimensions of the upcoming statue will be 28 feet*6 feet, people aware of development said.
The canopy, under which it will be placed, previously featured a bust of Britain’s King George V, which was removed in 1968, they added.
About 150 meters towards the east of the India Gate, there is a canopy that was built in 1936 as a tribute to former Emperor of India, King George V.

There used to be a marble statue of George V, but it was removed due to opposition from some political parties after India’s independence.
Currently the statue is located in Delhi’s Coronation Park.

Last week, the Union government announced that starting this year, the annual Republic Day celebrations will commence on January 23, instead of January 24, to coincide with the birth anniversary of Subhas Chandra Bose.
Also, since last year, January 23 has been observed as ‘Parakram Diwas’ in memory of the former commander of the erstwhile Indian National Army (INA).
Chandra Kumar Bose, the grand nephew of Netaji Bose, “The people of India appreciate the efforts made by the NDA got under the leadership of Narendra Modi ji.
But what is more important in today’s India, and I have written in this regard to PM Modi, is that we must implement Netaji’s inclusive ideology. He was the only leader who could unite the people irrespective of their religion as ‘Bharaiyas’.”
“We have already seen the partition of India and Bengal. If Netaji had returned to India, there would have been no partition. But India is breaking up again. Divisive politics must stop. We must have communal harmony,” Chandra Bose said.
Chandra Bose also said that in his letter to PM Modi, he demanded Netaji’s statue to be built in front of India Gate, construct INA memorial at the Red Fort, among other demands.
