Netaji

‘Netaji opposed RSS ideology’

Netaji’s grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose has been vocal about the demands. In his chat with Ashok Chatterjee, he says that in today’s society, following Netaji’s ideals of religious integrity (sarva dharma samanvaya) would be paying the best respect to the great leader.

Beyond Tributes~II

The forward march of Netaji’s liberation army unnerved and unsettled the British rulers in India decisively.

Anthems Forever

Before discovering the anthem Abid Hasan translated, let it be known that the setting could not have been more dramatic and historic. In 1943, Netaji and Hasan were on the German submarine that was stealthily making its way to East Asia from the shores of Germany. In the confines of the submarine, which Hasan described as ‘smelling of diesel oil’, the waves of creativity took over and the composition in Hindi of ‘Jana Gana Mana’was born.

A neglected side of Netaji

 Netaji also suffered imprisonment for fearlessly voicing his opinion in the editorial entitled “Day of Reckoning” through the columns of Forward Bloc.

Netaji and Swamiji

Netaji was a patriot and his patriotism was embedded in his spiritual awareness which he achieved by dint of his in-depth study of Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda, who taught him how to love and worship the country as Divine Mother, offering everything to Her lotus feet for his own liberation as well as for the liberation of his entire race. He saw in Swamiji a path finder "as the spiritual father of the modern nationalist movement", and followed him to become a spiritual patriot.
