Churchill's befriending Stalin did not make him a communist, neither did Stalin thereby become a capitalist. How did Bose then become a fascist by alliance with Hitler?
Those were heady days with the entire world in turmoil and Bose utilised the force-field of the World War to give British imperialism the necessary shake to overcome its inertia and reduce its citadels to ruins. His motion to free his motherland in effect released such revolutionary fervour in the whole of Asia that he became the catalyst and the inspiration for suppressed peoples everywhere. Bose in retrospect has thus assumed a far bigger significance than was evident at the times when he made his gigantic presence felt across the world. He was the mainspring of revolutionary activity in India, the mighty force that brought down British India to its knees and sent the colonists packing.
Bose careered the downfall of the British Empire by setting India free. It was but a matter of time before other colonies took the cue and launched their liberation struggles. Leaders across Asia except the top brass of the Congress who had plotted the downfall of Bose unsuccessfully were lifted into inspirational heights to emulate Bose and brought their countries freedom.
The British Empire's sun did set at last where it had scorched the people for two centuries and had plunged the ancient land, the mother of civilisations, into servile darkness. But what happened to Bose? Where did he vanish from Leon Prouchandy's house in Saigon on the 18th of August, 1945?
