At an age in which children are usually busy watching cartoons or playing video games, 10-year-old Arab Bharadwaj of Delhi has embarked on a cycling trip of 2,500 km to spread the message of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.

Arab, a class 6 student, started his journey on April 14 at Moirang in Manipur where Bose's Indian National Army (INA) raised the tricolour on April 14, 1944.

Accompanied by his father Atul M Bharadwaj -- a doctor, he reached Alipurduar in West Bengal on his bicycle on Tuesday.

Arab said that he was inspired by Bose's fight for India's Independence.
