After Patel, PM Modi is all set to resurrect the legacy of Bose, whom congress belittled when he was alive and ignored after he disappeared

After resurrecting the legacy of Sardar Patel within the final six and a half years, the Modi authorities is all set to do the identical for Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. For greater than six a long time, the historic contribution of the non-Nehru-Gandhi household was washed out to mainstream just one household. The Modi authorities is now making efforts to revive the legacy of different leaders as nicely. With Sardar Patel’s contribution to the nationwide unity already recognised, now the contribution of Netaji within the freedom battle is being mainstreamed.The Ministry of Railways below PM Modi has already named a practice – ‘the Netaji Express’ after Bose. “Netaji’s parakram had put India on the express route of freedom and development. I am thrilled to celebrate his anniversary with the introduction of ‘Netaji Express’.” tweeted Union Minister Piyush Goyal. Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was among the many most essential leaders of India’s independence motion, and a few historians even go to the extent of crediting him extra for the independence than Gandhi however within the post-independence years, Congress systematically tried to erase him from public reminiscence. When British Prime Minister Clement Attlee who formally signed India’s independence doc got here to India in 1956, he was requested a seemingly easy query by one Justice Chakraborty.“You won the world war II, you became a permanent member of UNSC, you handled the Quit India movement quite well then what made you leave India?”To which he answered, “Apart from the fact that India became a liability to us, the answer in three words is SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE and INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY.”To which Justice Chakraborty requested one other query.“So, what was the impact of Congress and Mr Gandhi on your decision of leaving India?”Justice Chakraborty in his e-book says – that to my query, Clement Attlee whereas sipping his espresso with an conceited smile on his face, replied, “MINIMAL”.While Attlee’s evaluation of Gandhi’s effort may be contested, the truth that Bose’s efforts gained us independence is undisputed. What Netaji was making an attempt to do was to instigate riot in British Indian Armed Forces which culminated in Royal Indian Navy Mutiny in February 1946, which grew to become the moment purpose behind British resolution to go away India.However, the Congress authorities, and its historians, typically scale back the mutiny of the Royal Indian Navy in only one paragraph and don’t give Bose his due place within the historical past of the independence motion.Bose was within the Congress get together and held the Chair of the Congress President between January 1938 to April 1939 however because of inside bickering, he left Congress, went to Japan and fashioned the Indian National Army with the assistance of prisoners of warfare and led the campaign to hit British laborious with the assistance of their Axis enemy in order that that they’re obliged to flee. In one in every of their wars in opposition to the British, 26,000 out of 60,000 of their troopers had been martyred. Despite 50% of deadly casualties, the INA didn’t lose the bottom. It reasonably managed to drive the British out.Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s plans of capturing India from the east couldn’t bear fruits due to many causes one in every of which was Congress’s hostility in direction of him. Expectedly, Congress nonetheless nurtures the identical hostility in direction of him. The Congress after Independence systematically eliminated Neta Ji Subhash Chandra Bose from India’s History.However, the Modi authorities will quickly have the ability to resurrect the legacy of the nice nationalist as a result of the individuals of the nation nonetheless join with the person greater than with members of the Gandhi household.
