i know this may not be encouraged, but i want to C/P a post from the forum i just mentioned.
someone in that forum had this to say -
I want to quote something from the "Illustrated History of the World War II" written by Owen Booth and John Walton(both London based writer and researchers, specialising in modern history).
The Chapter 16 of the book ie "The Empire in Crisis - Australia, India and Burma" (Page 227) devotes one paragraph to "Subhas Bose" from a purely British perspective. In the same paragraph there is a one line mention of MK Gandhi , also (only once in the whole book and be sure, it is not for showcasing the socalled nonviolence ).
As you read through the paragraph, you can see , who was a more threat to the British (Netaji or MK Gandhi)
<b>"Also present at the Greater East Asian Conference was the Indian nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose, who arrived by German U-boat.Civil unrest in India at the British refusal to grant the colony its own government had been growing throughout the war.Around the world , Indian soldiers were fighting and dying in defence of the British Empire, and Indian supplies were proving essential to the survival of Britain itself, yet the British Government would offer only to 'consider' the issue of self-rule for the Indian people once the war was over.The Indian nationalist cause , officially led by Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi, was exploited by Bose throughout the war in a series of anti-British propaganda broadcasts made from Japan.He was also responsible - with permission from the Japanese military - for raising the 'Indian National Army', which was made up of Indian POWs captured by the Japanese in Malaya.Bose saw himself as a future leader of an independent India, and between 1942 and 1944 , he repeatedly called on Japan to 'march on Delhi' and kick the British out"

Reading thru' this paragraph you can easily find how senile and ineffective was our official nationalist leader Mr. MK Gandhi , due to whose fanatic non-violent histrionics the British were only "Offering to 'consider' the issue of self-rule for the Indian people " and that too only after "the war was over" , so that India bleeds to supply Britain of war expenses.
On the other hand the British had no doubt, that Netaji only wanted them to be kicked out of India.
And the fact whether did Netaji want to free India for becoming a future leader of the independent nation ...? smile.gif I need not say anything ..History will speak forth , who became the Prime Minister of Independent India.. and who died like a valient hero without claiming a single piece of land in the country he fought to make free.
