Netaji wanted a 20 year dictatorship in India

Every day, someone or the other claims to know what really happened to Bose and blames Pandit Nehru and the Congress for it. Any narrative or opinion that runs contrary to this new perception is immediately denounced as a work of traitors. However, Bose's admirers conveniently ignore his Faustian treaty with Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan. Netaji Bose, by his own admission in his book, " Indian Struggle" (published in 1935 in London), believed India needed a political system that was a mix of fascism and communism — something that he called samyavad. Netaji made a special trip to Rome in 1935 to present a copy of his book to Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, whom he greatly admired and whose ideals he would follow for the rest of his life. Bose's reactionary views naturally brought him into conflict with the pacifist leaders of Congress, most notably Mahatma Gandhi and Pandit Nehru. But the friction didn't happen in 1935, it happened much earlier.
Bose had organized the annual session of the Indian National Congress in 1928 in Calcutta. There, he organized a guard of honour in full military style — over 2,000 volunteers were drilled in military fashion and organized into battalions; half of them wore military uniforms with "officers" wearing metal epaulettes. For himself, Bose got a senior British military officer's dress tailored by Calcutta-based British firm, Harman's, complemented by an aiguillette and a field marshal's baton; he also assumed the title of general officer commanding, much to the chagrin of Gandhi, who described the whole thing as "Bertram Mills circus". But Bose's love for militarism continued just like his love for a good show.

In October 1943, Bose announced the formation of the Provisional Government of Free India (Arzi Hukumat-i-Azad Hind). He arbitrarily assumed the titles of head of state, prime minister, and minister for war and foreign affairs — the first he intended to keep when India was liberated. He demanded total submission and fealty from Indians everywhere; anybody who opposed him, his army or government could be executed (some accounts suggest many were indeed tortured or executed on orders of Bose or with his knowledge). The INA's proclamation put this into writing: "If any person fails to understand the intentions of the Provisional Government of Azad Hind and the Indian National Army, or of our Ally, the Nippon Army, and dares to commit such acts as are itemized hereunder which would hamper the sacred task of emancipating India, he shall be executed or severely punished in accordance with the Criminal Law of the Provisional Government of Azad Hind and the Indian National Army or with the Martial Law of the Nippon Army." In a speech the same year in Singapore, Bose spoke about India needing a ruthless dictator for 20 years after liberation. Then Singapore daily, Sunday Express (now defunct), printed his speech where he said, "So long as there is a third party, ie the British, these dissensions will not end. These will go on growing. They will disappear only when an iron dictator rules over India for 20 years. For a few years at least, after the end of British rule in India, there must be a dictatorship...No other constitution can flourish in this country and it is so to India's good that she shall be ruled by a dictator, to begin with ..." By this time, Netaji seems to have liked Nazism more than fascism. In a speech to students of Tokyo University in 1944, Netaji said India needs to have a philosophy that "should be a synthesis between national socialism (Nazism) and communism". Around this time, of course, any form of cordiality that existed between Bose and Pandit Nehru had evaporated.
Nope.
While Bose fancied himself as a world leader like Hitler and Mussolini, Pandit Nehru despised both individuals and their ideologies. He expressed his "intense dislike" for fascism and said there can be no middle path between fascism and communism, the former being a "crude and brutal effort of the capitalist order". Nevertheless, after Bose "died" in that mysterious air crash in August 1945, Pandit Nehru paid a tribute to his former colleague, "In the struggle for the cause of India's independence he has given his life and has escaped all those troubles which brave soldiers like him have to face in the end. He was not only brave but had deep love for freedom. He believed, rightly or wrongly, that whatever he did was for the independence of India ... Although I personally did not agree with him in many respects, and he left us and formed the Forward Bloc, nobody can doubt his sincerity. He struggled throughout his life for the independence of India, in his own way."

In 1938, at the 51st session of the Congress at Haripura, Bose was the president. He organized for himself a grand ceremony that was no less than a victory march of a triumphant ancient Indian king returning from digvijaya. He supposedly entered the venue in a chariot drawn by 51 bullocks, accompanied by 51 girls in saffron saris, after a two-hour procession through 51 gates that also had 51 brass bands playing. He would do similar shows in Southeast Asia when he came to the helm of Indian National Army and Indian Independence League.
:haha: Netaji was quite a flamboyant showman . Another write up which states something similar :
As his staging at the 1930 Calcutta session of the Congress party suggest, Bose understood early on the importance of political choreography and the aesthetics of mass meetings. After his visits to Fascist Italy and National Socialist Germany, he was even more mindful of the importance for any successful broad-based political movement of mass meetings, marches, visual symbols, and ceremonial or liturgical rituals. For example, at the 51st session of the Congress party at Haripura in 1938, Bose made sure that his entrance as the new Congress President would be spectacular. Escorted by 51 girls in saffron saris (the number corresponding with the number of the Congress session), he was seated in an ancient chariot drawn by 51 white bullocks, and taken on a two hour procession through 51 specially-constructed gates, accompanied by 51 brass bands.

That was 1935 , no second world war or horrors of Nazism, fascisms.many countries at that time were experimenting with different systems fascism , communism , democracy. Also the way india is now after 70 years we cannot say that we adopted the best system . South korea's authotarian rule of Park chung hee saw massive economic development, China 's pseudo communism also eliminated massive poverty in their country.China was recently making fun of India by saying that had they adopted democracy they would have been like India , a democracy by western standard with very poor standard of living

The first para :cantstop:

Recent allegations about a newly independent India under Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru snooping on the kin of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is what conspiracy theorists and spin doctors needed to push their agenda — that Netaji was a greater patriot than Pandit Nehru.
TOIlet paper licking boots of their masters as usual..

Today morning I was watching some tamil "news" channel, where some islamic writer is telling a lot of things. Tipu Sultan and Jinnah are the only real freedom fighters, but we are calling some dogs from other religions as freedom fighters. Also commented about the happiness index that even pakistan is ranked 81st and India ranked 118th. The reason is that there is no communal violence in Pakistan but in Indian govt is conducting communal violence daily affecting the minorities. I just watched it for lolz. This POS article can be equated with this "news"

just because you don't like it , it must be ridiculed with irrelevant rants but do you have anything to say that facts in the article is not accurate? if so, do point out. I have no idea about the author and could not care one way or the other..however what I looked for if it tallies with historical evidence. how about some counter facts please
ars we cannot say that we adopted the best system . South korea's authotarian rule of Park chung hee saw massive economic development, China 's pseudo communism also eliminated massive poverty in their country.China was recently making fun of India by saying that had they
there are any number of disastrous dictatorships as well. its about good policies and governance. east asia is pretty much export led manufacturing giving jobs to workers who educate children and the children moving on to more high end job.Also high primary school enrolment was a major factor. neither we have good governance and as for primary school education, we pretty well know how much children are at stalls and shops when they shud be in school.

He did ally/try to ally with Hitler.I don't think any one like that would be too keen on democracy. We in India tend to romanticize dictatorships and military rules. Any time we are pissed of with the govt.....military should take over.Military is made up of humans.Given too much power.....no one stays sane. To think that a country could have dictatorship for 20 years and then peace fully opt for more inclusive options is just stupid and naive.No dictator gives up power.... Even if we take this article with a huge pinch of salt...fact is ,someone like him running the country would have been a disaster. We would be Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Hitler still has lot of lovers in India. My first exposure to his concentration camp was through Frederic Forsyth's chilling novel Odessa File.

Thats becoz most of India is ignorant of what he did .Not becoz we love what he did. Some Indian has this romantic image of Hitler being this strict disciplinarian .Doubt they even heard the words holocaust

Vivekananda would never be called a chaddi at any point of time in India. The name belongs to people like adityanath, sadhvis and others of their ilk in the rss, vhp and bajrang dal. Vivekananda is like another Indian icon like sardar patel and bose the rss is trying to steal. Better stick to godse and savarkar. Bloody outrageous to repeatedly equate vivekananda with filth like these.
