THE RIFT BETWEEN GANDHIJI AND SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE

The younger sections in the congress laid by Subhash Chandra Bose were loosing faith in the non-violent programs and in the leadership of Gandhiji.
1. Subhash Chandra Bose was in sympathy with the farmer’s movement, whereas Gandhiji was opposed to the lawless activities of the farmers. 2. Bose’s idea of socialism was not much liked by Gandhiji. 3. Subhash Chandra Bose looked upon a war between Britain and Germany as God sent opportunity to exploit and situation. Pandit Nehru and Gandhiji were definitely opposed to the idea of taking advantage of Britain’s peril. 4. Subhash Chandra Bose favoured the policy of large scale industrialization. On the other hand Gandhiji favoured the idea of small scale industries to make the villages’ self-sufficient. 5. Gandhiji’s candidate Dr. Pattabhi Sitaramayya was defeated and Subhash Chandra Bose was reflected as congress president in 1939 at Tripura. This defeat was taken by Gandhiji as his own defeat. Thus both could not come to any agreement on the formation of working committee. As a result Subhash Chandra Bose resigned as the president of the congress on April 29, 1939.
FORMATION OF FORWARD BLOC
The founder of forward bloc was Subhash Chandra Bose. He was elected the president of the congress. Hid and Gandhiji ideas were very different. So Subhash Chandra Bose resigned and then led the foundation of a radical party within the congress to bring the entire left wing under one banner. OBJECTIVES OF THE FORWARD BLOC 1. Forward bloc’s immediate objective was liberation of India with the support of workers, peasants, youths, and all radical organization. 2. After attaining independence forward bloc would work for the establishment of a socialist stake through:- 3. Reorganization of agriculture and industry on socialist lines. 4. Abolition of the zamindari system 5. Introduction of a new monetary and credit system.
FORMATION OF INA
After Singapore fell to Japan on 15th February 1942, about 40,000 Indians prisoners of war handed over to Captain Mohan Singh (British Indian army) by the Japanese govt. Mohan Singh then took volunteers from among these groups and formed the INA or the Azad Hind Fauj. Arrangements were made for their intensive training for these men. The principles that were the guiding features of this army were unity, faith and justice. Subhash Chandra Bose reached Singapore on 2nd July 1943 and was given the leadership of Indian independence movement in the Far East by Rash Behari Bose. Bose became the president of Indian independence league and the supreme commander of INA.
Contribution of Subhash Chandra Bose towards the freedom struggle
Subhash Chandra Bose has a place of great honor in India’s national struggle for independence. INA under him gave moral support to the national movement. The slogan jai hind, dilli challo and many patriot marches motivated the Indian youth. Subhash managed for independence. Netaji made it clear to the British that there days in India were numbered. Now it was clear to the British that they could not completely depend on the Indian soldiers to maintain their hold on India.
