what is your opinion about bose's alleged leftism, or is this just another nehruvian lie? What was the relationship between Savarkar and Bose?

One of Subhas' major contributions was setting up of a National Planning Committee, for the development of an economic program running parallel to the national movement. Differences between Gandhiji and Subhas led to a crisis when Gandhiji opposed Subhas' idea that the Bengal Government (a coalition between the Krishak Praja Party & Muslim League) be ousted and the Congress take charge in coalition with the Krishak party. <b>The idea was criticized by Gandhiji and Nehru, which resulted in the strengthening of the Muslim League in Bengal and ultimately partition of India. It is obvious today that had Subhas been able to carry out his plans, Bengal would be a different entity on the atlas.</b><!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

thats right.
bose was not a right wing extremist, but a left winger (in this he had nehru for company - both were socialist) who took to extremist/millitary tactics, cos the time was ripe for it and india needed freedom asap.
as to the quotation - i didnt know about that.
i know little of his "political career" - except that he chucked a plum IAS posting after finishing as one of the toppers - cos he didnt want to serve the poms and that he went on to head the annual meetings of the INC twice, despite gandhi's full opposition. but i am not surprised to learn that he had contributed significantly as a political leader too, before becomming a millitary leader.
