Subhas Chandra Bose

President, PM pay homage to Subhas Chandra Bose

On the occasion of Netaji’s birth anniversary, PM Modi, through a tweete, recalled “his unparalleled contribution to India’s history”. He wrote he was deeply influenced by his thoughts and working to realise his vision for India.

Beyond Tributes~II

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

Roller-Coaster Socialism~II

Subhas Chandra Bose sought to provide an authoritarian character to the state but his objective was to combine a people's state with a strong centralized state. He wanted to promote collective affiliation of workers' and peasants' organisations so that the state could act as the servant of the people. Like the Marxists of China and unlike the Soviet Marxists, Subhas sought to trace the roots of Indian socialism to the tradition and culture of India.

Tagore, Netaji and spirituality

As the Congress was divided between supporters of Gandhi and Bose, Tagore advocated the latter’s cause with his write up Deshanayak or The Leader of the Country in May 1939: “I am a Bengali poet; on behalf of Bengal I hail you as the leader of the nation”.

Against the tide~II

The final answer about Netaji's death must be sought in the domain of divinity. Those dearest to God smart under stinging pain and suffering, burn with searing agony till they become luminous with purity and transcend the shackles of psychosis and eventually merge with the supreme.
