• It was Chittaranjan Das, who along with Motilal

his political guru.
OBSTACLE FACED
• People began to recognize Bose by his name and associated him with the freedom movement. Bose
had emerged as a popular youth leader. He was admired for his great skills in organization
development.
• In 1928, during the Guwahati Session of the Congress, a difference in the opinion between the old
and new members surfaced. The young leaders, as against the traditional leadership, wanted a
"complete self-rule and without any compromise". The senior leaders were in favor of the "dominion
status for India within the British rule".
• The differences were between moderate Gandhi and aggressive Subhash Chandra Bose was swelling.
The state was so intense that Subhash Chandra Bose had to defeat Pattabhi Sitaramayya, a
presidential candidate, nominated by Gandhiji himself.
• Bose had won the election but without any second thought he resigned from the party. He, then
formed the Forward Bloc in 1939.
FORMATION OF INA
• During the Second World War in September, 1939, Subhash Chandra Bose decided
to initiate a mass movement. He started uniting people from all over the country.
There was a tremendous response to his call and the British promptly imprisoned
'him. In jail, he refused to accept food for around two weeks. the authority put him
under house-arrest.
• During his house-arrest, in January, 1941, Subhash made a planned escape. He first
went to Gomoh in Bihar and from there he went on to Peshawar (now, Pakistan).
• He finally reached Germany and met Hitler. Bose had been living together with his
wife Emilie Schenkl in Berlin. In 1943, Bose left for south-east Asia and raised the
army. The group was later named by Bose, as the Indian National Army (INA).

Labor Party ( 15- 1951), with Attlee as the Prime Minister,
that India gained independence.
DISAPPEARANCE

never recovered.

• The government of India set up a number of committees to investigate the case and come out with
truth.

death.
• Citing their lack of political relations with Taiwan, the Centre, did not seek for the assistance from
their government.
• The reports of Justice Mukherjee Commission, tabled in Parliament on 17 May, 2006 said, "Bose
did not die in the plane crash and the ashes at Renkoji temple are not his".
• However, the findings were rejected by the government of India.
QUALITIES
• Had a clear goal decided.
• Worked for nation's interest &not his own interest.
• Collected all the powers, which guided him to the
freedom ,and did not leave the job half done.
• Formed his own army.
TAKE-AWAYS/ LEARNINGS
• Reading The Trends: Way back in 1938, almost a year before the War broke out (War broke out in 1939),
Netaji had openly advocated siding with the enemies of Britain in the event of a war. That is foresight. He
was the ONLY INDIAN LEADER WHO HAD AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF GLOBAL AFFAIRS and was
excellent at reading the emerging trends.
• Seizing The Opportunity: The British did not waste any time in putting him in jail and then under house
arrest when War broke out in 1939. Already sidelined and betrayed by the Congress party, he did not go into a
self-deprecating and defeated mode. He started working on his objective and ultimately orchestrated one of
the most daring escapes in modern history to reach Germany and seek German help for the Indian
independence war.
• Leadership Skills: The British could rule over India for close to 200 years because the Indians who made up
the British Indian Army had no notions of nationalism. They thought of soldering as an honourable
profession and had no qualms about serving a power that was killing and exploiting their own countrymen!
Getting these people to break their oath to the British king and the king’s army for the sake of the country’s
freedom was indeed a huge accomplishment.
• Show Of Strength: Technically, the Azad Hind Government, or the Provisional Government of Free India in
Exile, did not wield any geopolitical influence. Its army was raised from Indian volunteers in Singapore and
Rangoon, and Indian PoWs captured by the Japanese in South East Asia. It controlled territory in the
Andaman and Nicobar Islands handed over by the Japanese, though later, it did fight in Manipur and raised
the Indian Tricolour on mainland India.
