This famous quote is attributed to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, delivered in 1944 to motivate Indian soldiers. He said 'Tum mujhe khoon do, main tumhe azadi dunga' (Give me blood, I will give you freedom) to rally Indians for the freedom struggle. Bhagat Singh was a martyr but this quote isn't his, and Gandhi was a pacifist who wouldn't have used this language.

Jyoti Basu, the renowned Indian politician and former Chief Minister of West Bengal, was born on July 8, 1914.

India adopted its Constitution on 26th January 1950, which is celebrated as Republic Day. This date marks when the Constitution came into effect, replacing the Government of India Act (1935). 15th August 1947 was Independence Day when India gained freedom from British rule.
