1.What would you have wanted Bose to do ? Where would he find the ammunition to launch his armed struggle
Good question. I think he should have followed Savarkar's plan.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Again you are using a very ideal situation but are not willing to stand in bose's shoes and understand his compulsions ,like hauma and kaushal pointed out in the other posts , the british are not so naive to wait till the indians armed themselves and let themselves be overrun .They would have used similar methods .All i wanted to convey was Bose was no less of an patriot

2.Why should Bose's patriotism be any less than that of gandhi or nehru(if it exists)
This question is wasted on me, because (nehru fans please skip down) I don't recognise Nehru as a patriot. Gandhi's patriotism was impotent and made others impotent.

to a race that had not tasted freedom in so many years , dying like warriors on the battlefield would have been much better than living like slaves or the division of our nation and destruction of culture and society.
In that hypothetical scenario again: The Germans wouldn't have even bothered fighting us. They'd have used other methods (Islam) or their trademarked race-brainwashing.

The british already had unleashed a genocide albeit a distributed genocide is what i would call it by means of inflicted famines , oppresive taxation and many other measures , they were no less of a evil.
last but not least want to correct my statement before it is taken in the wrong sense ...
Bose had left leanings is what i had meant , even bhagat had them but it was with respect to uplifting the masses , they were heroes with hearts of gold , the quality of a leader is to identify with his followers , both bose and bhagat did that.
and thats where it stops , nothing more nothing less.
I hold all the brave sons of mother india who died fighting for her as Patriots and Bose is definetly one period.
