I knew this thread was going there. Poor Little Orphan Annie.
The guy who opposed Mahatma Gandhi in advocating a violent overthrow of the British Raj. He evidently wasn't as inspiring as Ghandi, who convinced the majority of the INC that Bose was a terrible leader in 1939. Unwilling to be less than Fuhrer of India, Bose fled first to Nazi Germany, where he pledged allegiance to Hitler, and then to Japan, where he was the figurehead of an army of Indian POWs forced to fight for the goal of transforming India from a British colony to a Japanese colony.
I know it's a cliche, but Mahatma Gandhi is inspiring to me. I find India's answer to Vidkun Quisling less than inspiring.
Subhash Chandra Bose
