Lol. The British left because Gandhi refused to eat and Nehru threatened to elope with the lady.
Ok. In that case we should not credit Gandhians as freedom fighters. We did not win it then. It was just gifted to us. The independence movement was a farce.
You didnt read what I had posted earlier. TL,DR; Indian independence was the culmination of various events and factors. No single man was responsible to affect the course of events overall, but the contributions of many at their specific times cannot be ruled out and hence they are all celebrated. Do you realize this?
Netaji never lost actually. He was able to completely open up the minds off British Indian forces. This was main reason that allowed the British to hold onto India and other colonies. The real power lied in the armed forces and once Netaji was able to get thru to them, it was game over.
He actually lost. He lost the political battle to lead congress. He was never a military graduate nor did he have the military acumen to lead men into battle. He did NOT form the INA. INA was formed in 1942 by the British Indian POWs captured by Japanese. Please do read up on history, instead of propaganda material.
And FYI, real power does not lie in the armed forces, it lies in the collective will of the people. Blindly worshiping what you personally perceive to be a hero is very detrimental to the overall well being of a nation. One should realize that.
So you and your type blindly worship the feet of some Italian cunt and the Gandhi dynasty...think about that.
Modi is doing great, simply because he is honest and he wants his motherland to succeed.
So If I express my different opinion, I am a congressi sickular hack, but when you blindly support and hero worship a political figure or person, you are being fair and balanced? Now where do I recollect this attitude from?
the greatest to threat to the British in India wasn't Gandhi, it was the Indian Mutiny of 1857
Nope. The threat of 1857 FWI was to the East India Company which lost control of the Indian territories after the mutiny. The British crown took over. And the demand for Indian representation in the UK parliament and subsequent political upheaval leading to self governance made the British realize that India as a colony was a lost cause.
Gandhi may started with noble intentions, but he did not have the caliber of Netaji.
What caliber do you speak of? If Netaji had any caliber, he would have stuck around and fought great political battles and won. IMHO, Jinnah had much more political acumen and caliber than Netaji could even dream of. Gandhi, Nehru, Patel, Azad, Jinnah were of a different political breed and they collectively forced the British crown to concede many political privileges.
INDIAN NAVY REBELS WERE INSPIRED BY NETAJI AND INA. THEY REALIZED KILLING AND HURTING THEIR OWN (INA) FOR THE BRITISH DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
Royal Indian navy mutiny was not inspired by Netaji nor by the INA. These were the same troops which defeated the Japanese and INA forces in SE Asia. The main reason for mutiny was the deplorable conditions and food. Actually what started out as a strike morphed into a mutiny. Some historians want to give it a freedom movement flavor. Anywho, the sailors and officers who were involved or participated in this were kicked out of the forces and surprisingly were not reinstated even by forces in independent India nor Pakistan. Goes to show how dissent is not tolerated by the armed forces and the political power over armed forces in a democracy. So, again real power doesnt lie in the armed forces, it lies in the will of the people.
