Question

Do you think Subhas Chandra Bose set an inspiring example of patriotism? Give examples to support your answer.

Answer 1

Yes, Subhas Chandra Bose set a great example of patriotism in the following ways:

1. Subhas Chandra Bose travelled to different countries, facing many hardships, to gather international support for India's freedom struggle.
2. He started an armed revolution for India's liberation through the Indian National Army (INA), which filled freedom fighters with courage and confidence.
3. Even though the INA officers were found guilty in their court-martial, the British Government had to release them due to widespread demonstrations across the country.
4. The INA inspired uprisings in the Indian armed forces, including a revolt in the Indian Navy, which shook the foundations of British rule.
5. The British realised they could no longer depend on Indian forces to maintain their rule in India.
