2018 - First Flag Hoisting Day | Commemorative Coin
The 5th commemorative coin for the year 2018 was released to mark the 75th Anniversary of Hoisting of Tricolour for the first time by Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose at Port Blair.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose stands as an enduring beacon in the annals of India's independence movement, a luminary whose brilliance continues to illuminate the pages of history.
Popularly known as Netaji, he embarked on an assertive journey toward India's freedom, demonstrating unparalleled leadership by establishing a government in exile.
On this momentous day in 1943, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose unfurled the National Flag for the first time at the Gymkhana Ground (present Netaji Stadium) in Port Blair. This historic act not only symbolized a fervent push for independence but also marked the liberation of the Islands, becoming the inaugural Indian Territory freed from British rule.
The significant occasion of 29th December 1943 witnessed Netaji's arrival at the Port Blair aerodrome in the Andamans, accompanied by Sarvashri Anand Mohan Sahay, Captain Rawat - ADC, and Col. DS Raju, Netaji's personal physician. The warm reception extended by the Japanese admiral and the enthusiastic embrace from the Indians and Burmese reflected the collective yearning for freedom and marked a pivotal chapter in the struggle against colonial rule.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's courageous endeavors and unwavering commitment to India's liberation continue to inspire generations, reminding us of the indomitable spirit that fueled the quest for independence. The historic events of that day echo through time, resonating with the triumph of a nation's spirit against the shackles of imperialism.
