Appriciate the role of subhas Chandra Bose |
|
Answer» . Subhash Chandra Bose looked at the opportunity made available by the difficulties of the British. He said that India's independence was of utmost importance and we should take the help of the Japanese to throw out the British. He went secretly to Germany and then to Japan and raised an army of Indian soldiers in 1942. In the beginning they were soldiers in the British army and had been captured by the Japanese when the British were defeated in Burma and Malaya. They were POWS (prisoners of war). Bose recruited them in his army which he called the Indian National Army (INA). Later, other indians also joined the army including many women. However, Gandhi did not agree with the plans of Bose and felt that the Japanese cannot be the liberators of India. But Subhash persisted in his chosen path and led an army of Indian soldiers to fight alongside the Imperial Army of Japan against the British for almost three years. Bose was sent to prison in Mandalay for nationalist activities in 1925. He was released in 1927 and became the INC’s general secretary.He worked with Jawaharlal Nehru (Born on November 14 – 1889) and the two became the Congress Party’s young leaders gaining popularity among the people. He advocated complete Swaraj and was in favour of the use of force to gain it. He had differences with Gandhi and he wasn’t keen on non-violence
