Netaji was a national hero who commands respect in different parts of the world and a man of action. I don't think we need a holiday to show our respect to him!
I am only questioning the merit of having national holidays on important dates when we should be working more to pay our respects to these great leaders!
Observing a holiday on a national hero's birthday is not showing respect to him and in Netaji's case, the great man's name itself is enough. The respect that he has in the heart of Indians is profound and it can never be questioned.
Whether it is a national holiday or any other day Netaji will remain in our hearts for forever and we are proud of the fact that a great leader like Netaji born in our country, India....
I remember having read somewhere that Netaji always dreaded the prospect of reamaining idle being struck by any illness.He even asked his friends that if any such situation ever came they should be taking him to a mountain and throwing him off. This only shows his attitude towards work and life!
