Deshanayak by Sugata Bose [Hardcover]

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose dedicated his entire life to the cause of India's independence from British rule. With that ideal in mind, he created the Indian National Army to fight against the Allies during World War II. According to Mahatma Gandhi, Netaji's patriotism is literally unmatched. Many events in the life and work of such a patriot have remained highly controversial till date. In this biography, Prof. Sugat Bose discusses the life and legacy of Netaji, carefully traversing the many different paths of his life, showing how he developed intellectually in Calcutta and Cambridge, flourished in various thoughts and important human relationships during his exile in Europe, at the top of India's national politics. His ascension is possible. Utilizing the hitherto untapped archives, this book sheds light on the days of Subhash Bose's imprisonment and travels, and also reveals to the reader the nature of Netaji's nation-consciousness as he sought to unite India as an independent nation, rising above religious, economic and linguistic discrimination.
