Did Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose any wrong by taking Japanese help in freedom struggle of India?

Question

Many critics are very much sceptical about it, but what is your opinion? Personally I used to consider himself as the GREATEST HERO ever born in politics anywhere anytime.

Answer 1

NO...

At Japanese shrine, the Netaji is god

Tokyo, July 30: At the Renkoji temple here, the Indians and many Japanese who come visiting know of only one god: Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.

In a small patch of green outside the Japanese-style shrine in Suginami residential district is a simple but elegant bust of Bose, who was undoubtedly one of the most popular products of India's independence movement.

After his reported death in a plane crash in Taiwan in 1945, an event still shrouded in mystery, his ashes were said to have been brought to the shrine. And over the decades, Renkoji temple has become a pilgrimage point for thousands.

Every day, someone or the other -- Indians or Japanese or both - make it to the shrine to have a glimpse of the grey colour bust of a bespectacled Bose, wearing his military cap, erected on a platform.

Most visitors stand reverentially before the bust. Some bow their heads, as if praying to god.

Close by, a rectangular black stone with Japanese inscription reads: "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Monument".

There are also two separate stone plaques on the walls that state that three Indian prime ministers and a president have been to the shrine: Rajendra Prasad, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

The caretakers of the temple refuse to speak about Bose. But a visitors' diary has several hand-written entries, by bothsIndians and Japanese, eulogising Bose, whose Indian National Army (INA) raised with Japanese help at one point looked set to militarily free India from the British Raj.

"I am very lucky to visit this shrine. Great day for me," states an entry from Pulak Chakravorty of Bangalore.

Rana Gupta of Kolkata echoes him: "It is a very lucky day for me."

"This is a great day of my life," adds P. Sharma of Ghaziabad near New Delhi. "At last I could see the place where the brave son of Mother India is sleeping."

Sushilkumar Shinde, former Maharashtra chief minister, pays his tribute: "My salute Subhash Babujee, who sacrificed his life for India."

Sudha of New Delhi is almost praying: "Please bless us!"

Several entries are in Japanese language. Some of the visitors are from countries as far as the US, Chile and Germany.

P.K. Mukherjee from South Korea states: "I am very excited to visit this shrine. We as Indians are proud of Subhash Chandra Bose, the patriot of India."

Abhijit Dasgupta of Kolkata asserts: "I feel so proud to be here. Netaji will remain in our hearts for all time."

Somnath Roy Choudhury, also of Kolkata, adds: "One of the great moments in life, paying respect to the greatest freedom fighter of India."

G. Sanjivi Rajan says: "Our respects and namaskar to this great freedom fighter of India."

Sujoy K. Sanyal of Kolkata is emotional: "I feel I have come on a pilgrimage. I feel sad that we, in India, are forgetting about his sacrifices and ideas." Another Kolkata entry simply says: "I am overwhelmed."

Abhijit Desai of Mumbai is all praise for Bose: "Thank you, Netaji, for contributing to India's freedom. You live in our hearts. India is proud of you. Jai Hindi!"

Some have praised the Japanese government for maintaining the Bose bust and for helping to organise annual events commemorating his life and times.

There is one man, however, who has a different point of view.

"This so called ashes of Netaji is a ... conspiracy," says A. Sinha of Kolkata, echoing the view of those who believe Bose never died in the Taiwan plane crash. "Our greatest hero is immortal... He was a victim of imperialism."

Answer 2

Japanese did not help Netaji. On the other hand they tortured the Indians. During freedom struggle all freedom fighters were thinking only of the best means to free India.Netaji had his own ideas of fighting the British. He was a patriot to the core more than any one else. The Problem came because Nehru did not like subhash.

Answer 3

there is no any kind of question on nataji he done every thing by the heart for country but after the victory in my opinion some leader's on that time the turn the table and came as HERO
i am also consider NATAJI BRAVE AND GREATEST HERO

Answer 4

If I was born at the time of Netaji, I would sacrifice my life for my country at his call.
