This is a Netaji statue riding a horse. Netaji was very important man in Indian history and has precious contribution to Indian freedom struggle. He was based out in Kolkata but frequently travelled  to Germany & Japan to oust British Empire in India. He was also responsible for forming Azad Hind Fauz. This statue is most probably situated at the street intersection of Shyambazar in Kolkata. You can easily get here by boarding a metro and getting down at Shyam-Bazaar metro station.
