Correct. My Indian associates tell me that it was Dr. Chandra Bose who was more instrumental in India's independance than Gandhi, but Gandhi gets the credit.

Dr. Bose collaborated with the Nazis and the Japanese in WWII. He believed in violent resistance to the British, but with the defeat of the Nazis and the Japanese, he had no allies left. He may have been an Indian patriot, but his strategy gets an F. Gandhi's, OTOH, was much more effective.

BullDog108, I can tell you with authority that that is a load of BS (Barbra Streisand). Dr. Bose was as instrumental in India's independence as Algore was in the creation of the internet.

On January 23, 1997, India held a ceremony in New Delhi to honor Subhas Chandra Bose. Bose organized a group of Indian prisoners of war to fight for the Japanese during World War II. They even fought with the Japanese in an invasion of Assam. Mr. Bose met with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler and went to Japan on a Nazi submarine.
