October 21, 2026, Kailash Prakash Stadium, Meerut – A massive rally was organized here today by Subharti University and the Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, in which 10,000 students from over 43 schools participated with great enthusiasm.

Addressing the youth, Mr. Atul Krishna, founder of the Subharti University Group, emphasized that they should be aware of their true history. He noted that long before the creation of Pakistan—specifically on October 21, 1943—Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose established the 'Azad Hind Government' (Provisional Government of Free India) for an undivided India. Within just 10 days, this government was recognized by nine nations, including Russia and Germany. Therefore, he argued, October 21 should be declared the Independence Day of an undivided India.

Colonel Tejendra Pal Tyagi, National President of the Rashtriya Sainik Sanstha, stated that the limited independence India eventually attained was a direct result of the leadership of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and the sacrifices made by the Azad Hind Fauj (Indian National Army). He pointed out that this was acknowledged by the then-Prime Minister of Britain, Clement Attlee, during his visit to India. Consequently, October 21 should, in the true sense, be recognized as Independence Day.
