Subhash Chandra Bose Becomes The Father Of The Nation | Naveed Hussain

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was revolutionary in more ways than one. His do-or-die creed had resonated with the younger people of his day, who were frustrated by the seeming futility of Gandhi’s non-violent movement. Controversy existed then—just as it does today—of his proposed partnership with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to rid India of British rule. That never came to pass, but in this timeline, Bose never disappears either. Instead, he is widely hailed the Father of the Nation. Modern-day India continues that trait of ‘fierce personal independence’ that Netaji once championed, depicted here in negative light by political punk group Artist Colony, whose latest album Sepoys criticises the regressively aggressive nature of an India under Bose.
