NEWSPAPER
GS 1: History
1. Comment on how Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose provided an alternative idea and approach and was an important pillar of deepening of Indian National Movement. [Reference: Indian Express]
Nethaji Subash Chandra boss was a fierce nationalist whose patriotism made him into a great freedom fighter. Netaji’s entry into political life gave a new turn to India’s struggle. A new wave of enthusiasm swept the country. His restless and dynamic spirit led him to a path that was different from other freedom fighters
Body
- Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose ‘s political views were in support of complete freedom for India at the earliest, whereas most of the Congress Committee wanted it in phases, through a Dominion status.
- The strategy to achieve Indian Independence, and to some degree the form which the post-Independence state should take: Gandhi was hostile to industrialisation, while Bose saw it as the only route to making India strong and self-sufficient, who’s that he was influenced by the Soviet Union plan
- Bose’s earlier correspondence (prior to 1939) also reflects his deep disapproval of the racist practices of and annulment of democratic institutions in Nazi Germany.[4] He also, however, expressed admiration for the authoritarian methods (though not the racial ideologies) which he saw in Italy and Germany during the 1930s
- Bose’s tenure as Congress Party President (1938–39) did not reflect any particular anti-democratic or authoritarian attributes, can be seen us the values that boss wanted for future India
- Demanded giving the British Government a six-month deadline for granting independence and of launching a mass civil disobedience movement if it failed to do so.
- Bose wanted freedom for India at the earliest opportunity, and he didn’t care who he had to approach for assistance
- He was a contemporary of Mohandas K. Gandhi, at times an ally and at other times an adversary. Bose was known in particular for his militant approach to independence and for his push for socialist policies
- Bose became increasingly critical of Gandhi’s more conservative economics as well as his less confrontational approach toward independence, he went to a man of critic of Gandhi he gave the title bapu, example that he was a man who accepted criticisms
- An important development in the struggle for freedom during the Second World War was the formation and activities of the Azad Hind Fauj, also known as the Indian National Army, or INA, reflected his militant nationalism
- Indian women also played an important role in the activities for the freedom of India. A women’s regiment of Azad Hind Fauj was formed, which was under the command of Captain Lakshmi Swaminathan. It was called the Rani Jhansi regiment. shows that netaji e was a man of gender equality and he promoted women in involvement in freedom struggle was important
- Faith in our cause and readiness for sacrifice by voluntary total self-mobilisation were insisted by him, makes us understand that netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was man of self-confidence and a man who promoted the potential of self control and discipline
Conclusion
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was without doubt a far-sighted, realistic type of leader. Even though Bose and Mohandas K. Gandhi had differing ideologies, the latter called Bose the “Patriot of Patriots
