The leader of unblemished character, the liberator of the motherland, the saviour of the soul of Asia. The voice of the colonised world, the rebel against all oppression, the patriot perennial, Netaji looms large on the consciousness of the conquered in their struggle for independence. As such, his role in the wider international arena has just begun and will gain strength by the hour as his legacy grips India and the rest of the world and impels it onward to freedom and glory.
Netaji is a much adored, much maligned and much misunderstood personality of epic proportions the like of whom history has hardly ever thrown up. Such a balance of being, such a synthesis of the head, heart and hand, such aristocratic bearing with rustic simplicity at heart, such lofty idealism with such pragmatic application of theory, all these contribute to make Netaji a personality nonpareil in the annals of history.
