About Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose:-Subhas Chandra Bose(23rd January,1897 to 18th August,1945) was an
Indian nationalist whose defiance of
British Authority in India made him a hero among Indians.
Subhas Chandra Bose believed that the
Bhagavad Gita was a great source of inspiration for the struggle against the British.
Swami Vivekananda's teachings on universalism,his nationalist thoughts and his emphasis on social service and reform had all inspired Subhas Chandra Bose from his very young days.The fresh interpretation of India's ancient scriptures had appealed immensely to him.Some scholars think that
Hindu spirituality formed an essential part of his political and social thought.As historian Leonard Gordon explains "Inner religious explorations continued to be a part of his adult life.This set him apart from the slowly growing number of atheistic socialists and communists who dotted the Indian landscape."
Bose first expressed his preference for "a synthesis of what modern Europe calls
socialism and
fascism" in a 1930 speech in Calcutta.Bose later criticized Nehru's 1933 statement that there is "no middle road" between
communism and fascism,describing it as "fundamentally wrong."Bose believed communism would not gain ground in India due to its rejection of nationalism and religion and suggested a "synthesis between communism and fascism" could take hold instead.In 1944,Bose similarly stated,"Our philosophy should be a synthesis between
National Socialism and communism."
Bose's correspondence(prior to 1939) reflects his disapproval of the racist practices and annulment of democratic institutions in Nazi Germany:"Today I regret that I have to return to India with the conviction that the new nationalism of Germany is not only narrow and selfish but arrogant."However,he expressed admiration for the authoritarian methods which he saw in Italy and Germany during the 1930s;he thought they could be used to build an independent India.
