Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
Yes. That is true.
The British India would have been transformed into one whole, united India. It would have been United States of India. It would have the boundaries; Burma in the east; Baluchistan in the west; Kashmir in the north; Ceylon in the south.
Had the INA, Indian National Army marched to the Red Fort in New Delhi; had Subhas Chandra Bose and his Indian National Army marched past the Imphal and Burma, India would have still got the freedom.
That would have been very violent military struggle; war against the British in India. It would not have been a non-violence. People would have been killed in that war. But the number of loss of lives would have been much much less than that of in the partition of the nation. The effect of partition still continues even after sixty years.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose would have been the first President of United India. Nehru or Jinna, for that matter, even Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi could not have talked about partition. There would not have been a Pakistan; no Bangaladesh; even Burma and Ceylon would have been integrated with India. All these years of suffering of people in Burma and Ceylon would not have happened.
Jinna said, "I created the Pakistan with a Typewriter." That is true.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi; Non-Violence was his tool. Non-Violence is not an opposite of Violence. Non-Violence is not Love. Non-Violence is another form of Violence. Non-Violence is confusing and it is non-true.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose had clear vision; objectives were clear; there was no confusion; and above all, his speech, actions and thoughts are all clear and true.
People living in cities like Karachi, Lahore, Dhaka, Burma and Ceylon, need to understand the fact that all these leaders fought against the British and got the freedom, not only for India but also for all of you.
