The history of South Asia has been obfuscated by images from Hollywood and by overwhelming propaganda spewed by the BJP, the RSS and Hindu Mahasabah. The fairy tales of Bollywood cannot hide the stark truth about the violence perpetuated by the Mohandas Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. The statements of Purabi Roy and Justice Manor Mukherjee are suppressed by the mainstream media. The life and times of Subhas Chandra Bose are hidden from the youth who have not even heard of the Indian National Army (INA). The INA was the main reason that the British decided to leave South Asia. It surely wasn’t puppy love and it wasn’t salt marches. Mr. Mohandas Gandhi and Mr. Nehru massacred the patriots of the INA.

Who is Subash Chandra Bose? Both Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Subashh Chandra Bose shared an aversion towards Mohandas Gandhi.

An ICS officer from Bengal, S C Bose (1897-1945) resigned from service and was twice elected president of the Congress but had to quit due to ideological differences with Gandhi and Nehru. He later became President of the Indian National Army during World War II. He travelled to Germany but disillusioned with Hitler, he moved to Japan and fought for the independence of India from British rule. In one of the pictures below  he is seen in a meeting with Mr Jinnah. Bose commonly known as Netaji in India is believed to have died in an air crash on 18 August 1945 over Taiwan but his death is shrouded in mystery. He may have died as a Russian PoW in Siberia.

Here a few quotes from this great freedom fighter who was a friend of Mohammad Ali Jinnah.

“…It is our duty to pay for our liberty with our own blood. The freedom that we shall win through our sacrifice and exertions, we shall be able to preserve with our own strength……” Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to the Indian National Army in Malaya/Singapore

“Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom!” July 4, 1944, Bose

Subhas Chandra Bose life is hidden behind the veil of obscurity, and his death is shrouded in mystery. Mr. Bose was the first one to set up a government in exile and the first one to declare the country free of British colonialism. While Jinnah and Bose were fighting for the indpendence of South Asia, Mr. Gandhi was busy supporting the British Empire. He was recruting troops for the British Crown. The defectors worked for Subash Chandra Bose.

So what was the Indian National Army? It was set up in Singapore and threatened the supremacy of the British Empire.

The Indian National Army (INA) was originally founded by Capt Mohan Singh in Singapore in September 1942 with Japan’s Indian POWs . This was along the concept of- and with support of- what was then known as the Indian Independence League,headed by expatriate nationalist leader Rash Behari Bose. The idea of a liberation army was revived with the arrival of Subhas Chandra Bose in the Far East in 1943. In July, at a meeting in Singapore, Rash Behari Bose handed over control of the organisation to Subhas Chandra Bose. Bose was able to reorganise the fledging army and organise massive support among the expatriate Indian population in south-east Asia, who lent their support by both enlisting in the Indian National Army, as well as financially in response Bose’s calls for sacrfice for the national cause. At its height it consisted of some 85,000 regular troops, including a separate women’s unit, the Rani of Jhansi Regiment ( named after Rani Lakshmi Bai), which is seen as a first of its kind in Asia.

Spoken as a part of a motivational speech for the Indian National Army at a rally of Indians in Burma on July 4, 1944, Bose’s most famous quote was “Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom!” . In this, he urged the people of India to join him in his fight against the British Raj. Spoken in Hindi, Bose’s words are highly evocative.

The INA’s first commitment was in the Japanese thrust towards Eastern Indian frontiers of Manipur. On the Indian mainland, an Indian Tricolour, modeled after that of the Indian National Congress, was raised for the first time in the town in Moirang, in Manipur. Bose had hoped that large numbers of soldiers would desert from the Indian Army when they would discover that INA soldiers were attacking British India from the outside …Bose was forced to raise taxes on the Indian populations of Malaysia and Singapore. Sankalp India

The British did not leave because of sit-ins. They left becuase of Dirct Action Day, and the threat of the Japanese. They left South Asia becuase of they were scared of the Indian National Army

Here are reports about how Mr. Nehru with the approval of the Mr. Gandhi got the INA decimated. So much for non-violence.

Kolkata: Research scholar Purabi Roy on Wednesday claimed that thousands of men belonging to the Indian National Army (INA) were massacred at a camp in 1946.

She made this revelation while addressing a discussion on the implications of the Justice Manoj Mukherjee  commission report.

“When Nehru visited Malaya to meet the INA men captured by the British forces, three ships had already left for Chittagong, Madras and Calcutta carrying the soldiers. About 29,000 INA men were taken to a camp in Nilgunge and massacred when negotiations for the INA property were on,” Roy said.

“INA’s property was worth $72,000 and that was divided among India, Pakistan and Britain,” she pointed out. Roy also claimed that the INA owned gold mines, diamond mines and rubber plantations. Commenting on the Centre’s rejection of the Justice Mukherjee commission report, Roy said successive Congress governments have not allowed the facts regarding Subhas Chandra Bose to come out.

“Whenever they are in power, inquiries into Netaji’s life and death are aborted. For 12 years, I have been struggling with this subject. Hopefully, one day we will be able to answer the questions raised by Justice Mukherjee about what happened to Netaji if he did not die in the air crash,” she added.

Former Union human resources development minister Murli Manohar Joshi said the Centre had not extended full cooperation to the Justice Mukherjee commission. “Unless the Centre takes up the matter with the Russian government, the archives there will not open their doors,” he claimed.

“In 1954, Prime Minister Nehru as foreign minister had received the ashes and remains. If this is true then whose ashes are kept in Renkoji? When the Shahnawaz committee was set up, the Indian government was aware that the death certificates issued in Taiwan were not related to Netaji but this fact was suppressed,” he added.

Joshi said Netaji’s early life has also been ignored. “It is not just that his death is shrouded in mystery. Even his earlier life is not presented properly. The history books eulogise only a few leaders. He was the first person to set up an Indian government in-exile. He was the first to declare India free.”
