In September 1943, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, in a rousing address to thousands of followers, inspired several youths to join the cause of Indian independence, from Selangor Padang (Dataran Merdeka or Independence Square) in Kuala Lumpur.

Modi is here on a two-day visit to Malaysia, during which the two sides unveiled several initiatives to further shore up cooperation in areas of defence and security, semiconductors and trade.
