Hello grandad, Today my history teacher started a chapter called "Making of a National Movement" in that we studied about a character names Subash Chandra Bose. Can you tell me anything about him?
Sure grandson, Subhas Chandra Bose was an Indian nationalist whose defiant patriotism made him a hero in India, but whose attempt during World War II to rid India of British rule with the help of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan left a troubled legacy.
But why did he and Mahatma Gandhi differed in opinions when they both wanted the same outcome?
Bose believed it would take military strength to create a free nation and did not agree with Mahatma Gandhi’s less confrontational approach toward independence. With this in mind, he went on to form The Indian National Army (INA) in 1943.
Wow, He must have been a very brave leader.
At a time when Congress and other leaders were considering India’s freedom to come in phases, Bose advocated for complete and absolute freedom. He was not in favour of Dominion status. His army, Azad Hind Fauj or INA, became elemental in the fight for absolute liberty. Free India, with no control or influence of the British, was Bose’s dream.
Can you tell me about how he was in studies?
Subhash Chandra Bose was a brilliant student. He passed his B.A. in Philosophy from the Presidency College in Calcutta.His father wanted Netaji to become a civil servant and therefore, sent him to England to appear for the Indian Civil Service Examination. Bose was placed fourth with highest marks in English.
But then, If he was that brave and intelligent, What could have been the cause of his death?
It was very mysterious and we still don't know exactly how it happened. As far as I know, he reportedly died in a Japanese hospital in Taiwan from burn injuries on August 18, 1945, as a result of a plane crash while fleeing Southeast Asia,
Thank you so much for this information grandad, now I must go and complete my homework for school tomorrow.
No problem grandson, It was fun telling all these things to you. I will also go and do some work.
