NETAJI --- MAN, MYSTERY AND MYTH ... 19
NETAJI, THE NUMERO UNO
Having watched the videos of all the epoch-making leaders of the world like Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Gandhi, Mandela, Mao, Gorbachev and Lenin, I have come to this conclusion that none of them compares in personality or in purity of purpose and being to that of Netaji. The sheer magnitude of the man, his dynamism, daredevilry in defiance of the British Empire, his intellectual breadth and vision, statesmanship, unerring judgement of historical situations and prophetic announcements on future events, his patriotism nonpareil, one-pointed concentration of mental force with almost a magical capacity to make use of circumstances to advantage despite the severest odds ever working and plotting against him to thwart him in his mission to liberate his motherland from alien occupation of centuries, his thoroughness in planning and dexterity in its execution thereof, his farsightedness, unselfish devotion to the cause and his spirit of sacrifice that knew no bounds and made him live in the flesh and then as a man declared dead to the world while yet living, all these attributes of his make him my automatic choice for the numero uno position in this list of leaders who have shaped the modern history of the world. This, however, is entirely a personal opinion of mine or, perhaps, a seasoned evaluation arrived at from the study of as many videos of the aforesaid leaders as are available on the internet, their speeches and their lives and every bit of biographical detail that I could thus glean and from books and other sources of information as well. I am unaware as to what others think about it but will be glad to know their views regarding this.
