'THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS, IS NOT IN OUR STARS BUT IN OURSELVES THAT WE ARE UNDERLINGS' -- JULIUS CAESAR [ WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE ]
To gloss over critical issues of Bose's difference with Gandhi and the latter's machination to oust him first from Congress Presidency and then from the party itself is neither the right historical approach nor the rightful allegiance to truth. It reeks of the deliberate attempt to hide Gandhi's mischief in the Tripuri and post-Tripuri dealings with Bose.
The harm that Gandhi and his brigade did to Bose and, in effect, to India is incalculable and needs proper and unbiased historical assessment. If this phase of India's freedom struggle is rightly rewritten, the rest of the narrative will follow suit along lines of truth.
Readers are hereby being exhorted to think deeper into these contentious issues and episodes that shaped the destiny of India's dismembered Dominion status on 15 August, 1947, and arrive at their illumined inferences. The narrative needs to change for it is a blatant lie that has been exposed fair and square and, yet, steals the limelight before the wide world where the revolutionary struggle for freedom is hardly mentioned. All of us are culpable to the blame for such deliberate neglect by the authorities for we are too indolent to pursue serious study of these historical heresies and thereafter expose the fallacies and falsities therein. It is, thus, bounden on us all to read, study, cogitate and contemplate with greater ardour, greater devotion to the unearthing of truth so that the powers at the helm of affairs cannot mislead us into believing what is untrue as true. Hence, home to work !
