An excerpt from some other blog...

Netaji : A coward?

His followers are trying their level best to prove he did not die in a plane crash in Taiwan on that fatal day of August 18th, 1945.

In school I was taught that he was a freedom fighter and he died for the country. But today Netaji’s own followers are telling me that he ran away to Russia, which means he was a coward. His followers are also accusing the government of suppressing the truth. If I am not mistaken the govt and Netaji did not get along well, but in spite of their differences, they gave him the stature of a freedom fighter and not of a coward. If Netaji did not die in that crash, what the hell will the Government get by saying that he did?

If his followers had little grey matter in their heads, they should have tried to prove that the English killed Netaji because they thought he was a threat to them, but NO, they want the world to know that Netaji, knew he could not do anything for India and hence faked his own death so that he could lead a peaceful life.

Till now, I considered Nejati Bose to be a freedom fighter, but today I am in two minds.

MANU SPEAKS !!!

I found this on one of the blogs so felt like commenting upon...Sometimes I really feel that more of Indian History should be taught to the primary students.Even here at SIMSR not many people are aware of those who took part in freedom struggle.Probably our heroes have changed...Our perview is not the same any more.It all starts from the closing call of SENSEX and ends at Budgetry declaraions regarding making more n more of money...Probably m not able to catch up wid ya...

Anyways,I did the best I could do by replying on the post...so just pasting wat I thought was due...

MY REPLY TO THE BLOGGER...

My dear,

I understand that u r feeling a sense of dilemma but thn I would advise u to trust ur senses rather thn believe blindly wat others say.A person would not quit ICS and join freedom struggle as to run away one day,he wouldnot take opposite stand of some of the reverred Gods of that era just to end up making fun of himself...He strived hard to change the course of history...and he did in a way..if u knw a bit about Shaheed and Swaraj islands...He did stir the nation,if u knw anything about Red fort Trials....Just a request to followers also to study atleast a bit of primary level history before commenting upon wat is a matter of pride for many who call themselves Indians...

  1. Netaji was not a coward, and I guess I can say that with complete conviction. The government is known for supressing and manipulating veracity, and that is what has been happening all these years. How can we forget what all he did for our Freedom? How can we forget his sacrifices?
    When none of us know the truth, should we really rely on some predcitive analysis?

    My questions still remain unanswered. Anyways, a nice post, and it is good that you could bring out this issue in open.

  2. Hey Man,
    No offense but writing and thinking like this is a insult to such a brave personality. I can just say that there is no need to believe in all what u hear or what is being taught to u. U can judge the things based upon your logic also. What i think, after such asupport from mass and such a big army, englishmen wud have been really worried... I am hearing this story from long time back infact from my childhood. I heard that Englishmen decided to leave the country on the condition that netaji will leave the country quietly and will never return so he just went somewhere. Whatever, is the case, i think that man deserve at least respect from we people. Forget about him, I think none of our freedom fighter is getting the due what they should have got...

  4. You are in two minds?????????
    How can anyone be...I serious don't think he was anyway a coward. A coward would not have taken up such a big task in his hands. He was a great commander and a great patriot. What this Govt is saying is all ******* I'll prefer not to use those words here.
    Instead of tainting such a brave man, they should first look into their hearts. They are just eating away the country. And now they are eyeing towards killing our pride even. If it would have been some outsider they would have praised him like anything. It appears as though people are just slowly and steadily trying to hollow ourselves from inside.

    A nation automatically dies if its citizens stop feeling proud of it. These type of idiotic stories keep on flowing in mails and through other medium. We need to condemn them whole heartedly.
