The Fearless Patriot: Reading Comprehension for Class 6 

This powerful reading comprehension worksheet for Grade 6 introduces students to the life and leadership of Subhas Chandra Bose — one of India’s most determined freedom fighters. Born in Cuttack, Odisha, in 1897, Bose was a brilliant student who chose to dedicate his life to India’s independence. Though he admired Mahatma Gandhi, he believed freedom must be achieved through strong and immediate action. He formed the Indian National Army (INA) with the famous slogan, “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom,” which inspired thousands of Indians. Under his command, the INA fought bravely in Burma and northeastern India. Bose also set up the Azad Hind Government in exile, proving that patriotism means both courage and discipline. Though his mysterious disappearance in 1945 remains unsolved, his ideals of sacrifice and nationalism continue to inspire generations.
