1. The revolutionaries right from the Ghadar days plotted the downfall of the British Raj by armed insurrection. The INA assault was the climactic blow that dealt them the deathblow.
2. Gandhi's superior attitude towards Subhas in chiding while playing inferior politics in relation to him is reprehensible.
3. The real face of British brutality unleashed on colonised peoples is so evident in their invention of body-line bowling to curtail the rising star of Bradman. The whole business of leg theory culminating in body-line to curtail Bradman was proof of British oppression of freedom.
4. The Neelgunge massacre of over 1500 INA soldiers by the British on 25 Sep, 1945 must be documented in history books. The current chronicling is the blasphemous lie of only 5 soldiers. If history has to be rewritten as so many activists are so vocal about, let it begin with the true account of this grizzly episode which remains under wraps for over seven decades for what sinister purpose one may only guess.
5. Habib-ur-Rahman had lied about Netaji's air-crash death. This is amply corroborated by his later private admission of it to a select few.
6. This pernicious propensity towards prosperity is an unmitigated evil, a trait that is violent to the core. Millions must be made to live in servile conditions of poverty and destitution for a handful to live in princely style. Greed is the fundamental fuel propelling capitalism despite all the tall talk of creativity, development and progress uttered by the profane lips of the crafty capitalists. These in conjunction with corrupt politicians suck the life-blood of the masses reducing them to abysmal conditions of living. Life becomes a veritable hell as the masses barely survive but to die each moment a desperate death. Historical circumstances are readied by the flow of events and the leader comes along in the fullness of time. A new wave, a new philosophy, new awakening and a new energy begin to animate the people despoiled of all dignity by human exploitation for ages. Conditions are gruelling as revolution is rife. The State machinery, the organ of class-rule is wielded to crush rebellion even as the spirit intensifies. The hidden forces gather momentum as they garner people's support to surge ahead with their programme of total transformation of the human condition. It is a revolution that you sniff in the air. The masses must be mobilised that the entrenched superstructure of exploitation be razed to the ground. Historical movement is complex and tortuous. It is a mountainous detour stretching to scale the summit. The forces of oppression mount, so does the martyr's count. It is a battle between the past and the future enacted in the moment. It is the death-deal of the hour. On one side is the preservation of the age-old exploitative system, the slow grinding machinery that is the hangman of the masses; on the other side is the call to revolutionary restructuring of society and its relations. Betwixt the twain lies humanity.
7. Tortuous is the path to freedom, treacherous at every bend. Netaji had to scale the summit through the web spun to entrap him.
8. The path of revolution is uncharted, treacherous. There is danger at every step and there is betrayal by enemies and by even one's own.
9. Freedom has come but, oh, at what a cost! There is conspiracy even against our patriot premier, calumny cast on his unsullied purity.
10. Who is this solitary man pointing to the heavens? Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, he beckons ye even now. Must ye fail him?
11. Netaji's lifelong purity was in keeping with his pledge to follow the ideals of Ramakrishna-Vivekananda. And to cast aspersions on his unblemished character!
12. The purple robe fits well the martyr whose royal blood flows free to overthrow the shackles of slavery.
13. Blood-red was the revolution,
Yet, they painted it in green.
Blood spilled was green?
Pray, when have you last seen?
14. I can clearly see from today's traitors how betrayed Mother India was at every turn of her revolutionary revival.
15. Ask the Britisher in private who they feared the most and you will get the answer as to who liberated us.
16. The trouble we faced in our struggle for freedom was the labour of 'love' of traitors galore and even today they thrive so well!
17. A deliberate misrepresentation of the narrative of the freedom struggle by the Gandhi brigade has done untold harm to the nation.
18. Shall we forget Rashbehari Bose, Sachindranath Sanyal, Jatindranath Mukherjee and Surya Sen?
19. Death seemed the grand release
When freedom was at hand.
What could the barbarous colonist do
When the valorous took their stand?
20. P.N.Tagore escaped the clutches of the British never to return to his cherished motherland. Who was he? Why did he escape? Where did he escape to? And how did he escape?
21. The Englishman was free but his freedom he used to snatch the freedom of others, colonise them, hold them by force in bondage. Freedom the Englishman cherished indeed to despoil the lives of so many others and keep them in their own lands in servile captivity!
It took a long line of revolutionaries for nearly a century to shake off the British yoke, their cumulative effort writ in letters of blood culminating in the eventual assault of the Indian National Army against the colonial masters which helped evict them from the motherland. The failed attempt of the INA, nonetheless, bore fruition in the subsequent revolts of the British Indian Armed Forces who took the cue from the INA and led the country to a state where further administration by the British by use of force against the Indians became an untenable proposition and the colonists left in a hurry but not before they had dealt the death-blow to the liberated landmass by partitioning it among warring peoples.
The British achieved a long-term political advantage in partitioning India into two inimical nations who would forever continue to fight, debilitating each other and creating the perfect field for the Anglo-American consortium to pursue their new mode of economic exploitation what has been termed neocolonialism.
22. The ill-will of the people bred through exploitation by the privileged classes erupts as revolution in the fullness of time.
23. Revolution prepares the ground, creates conditions for rapid evolution of mankind but needs men of character to steer its course.
24. It is time to pledge loyalty to our martyrs who have sacrificed themselves on the scaffold and on the battlefields to win for us freedom.
25. Unless drastic measures are adopted to check rampant capitalistic exploitation of the masses, poverty will so increase among hundreds of millions that a violent revolution will take place seeking to redress the balance. Lest such a bloody day undoes the good that heritage has handed us, rapid advances in management of resources and their equitable distribution is an urgent necessity. We have achieved freedom from the colonist-imperialist alien occupiers not by the blood spilled off the arteries of crony capitalist but by the sacrifices of the martyrs whose ruddy drops have been the price we have paid for our liberation. And this we must never forget that we owe it to them to rebuild our motherland along the line of their vision of equality and opportunity for all, not merely in terms of enunciated principles in the Constitution but in actual terms of deeds done, hindrances to mass evolution removed and uplift of the people to a level of dignity where life becomes an exercise in bliss and not a struggle for daily survival. Our tradition is eminently spiritual in texture and demands of us service to the motherland. But emotional effusions will scarce achieve the objective and an objective analysis must be made, methods devised and programmes implemented with martial energy, dexterity and discipline. The masses must be raised from the vortex of poverty and life made bearable, nay, enjoyable to a degree to avert the cataclysm of revolution. This is the future fate of our motherland if the capitalists are allowed a free rein as they presently are to amass wealth indiscriminately at the expense of the hundreds of millions who pay the price of such affluence with their blood. It is time to take cognisance of this historical development and time to ward off the threat even when critical conditions have not yet come into being. Else, a violent bloodbath will see the demise of many a cherished value, many an institution we hold dear to our hearts that carry the imprint of the past of our civilisation and have not fulfilled their fullest potential yet. History, for sure, has recorded all that has thus far gone in the name of life and liberty for our masses and, the cruel dispenser of justice that it is, it will decree death sentence on the perfidious elements who so subverted our spiritual culture that despite the loftiest principles enshrined in our books, the masses lived the state of brutes. And now with the onset of the modern age and the mercenary's machination through his machine, we enter into times worse than ever when blood flows inward to haemorrhage the vessels that conduct the life-current of the nation. Herein lies the danger, for the organic collapse of the system is imminent and its violent reaction a corollary in consequence. Brothers, reform yourselves lest retribution sweeps all.
26. When the masses rise in rebellion, no force on earth can hold sway over them. When times are propitious, the philosophy is born and with it awakens consciousness as the leader guides the populace to a total roundabout of circumstances, a complete transformation of the conditions of life. At the appointed hour the bell of revolution tolls and the movement takes off. Sweeping everything that stands in their path, the mob arrives at the citadel of bondage and breaks open the confines to release men into freedom, a freedom denied for ages, a life thwarted by shackles and a death that flows as cheap as the spilled wine of the barrel.
But history happens not as per the whims of individuals but as per the resolution of countless forces, the collective resolution of karma of an entire populace, a suppressed people suffocating in the dark dungeons of a hell on earth. And when it happens, oh, what a retribution it visits upon the tyrannical class, the exploitative masters who had thus reduced the image of God to the level of the beast while living off their labour in luxury for ages!
