Randeep Hooda's
Tweet Sparks Controversy: Did Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Draw Inspiration from
Savarkar?
In a recent tweet, actor Randeep Hooda made a claim that sparked
controversy among history buffs and scholars alike. Hooda, set to portray
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in an upcoming movie, asserted that the freedom
fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose drew inspiration from Savarkar.
However, Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji's grandnephew,
promptly stepped forward to correct the record.
According to Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji's sources of inspiration were limited to two individuals: Swami Vivekananda, his spiritual guru, and Deshbandhu Chitranjan Das, his political mentor.
Netaji's
Grandnephew Speaks Out: Chandra Kumar Bose Discredits Randeep Hooda's Claim on
Ideological Unity
Bose firmly contradicted Hooda's claim, emphasizing that
Savarkar's ideology stood in stark contrast to that of Netaji. In fact, Netaji
openly expressed his opposition to Savarkar and explicitly stated in his
writings that he did not expect support from him or Muhammad Ali Jinnah in the
struggle against British imperialism.
Chandra Kumar Bose further underscored that Netaji was a
secular leader who vehemently opposed communalism, making it unreasonable to
suggest any alignment or support between him and Savarkar.

Cautionary Tale: Filmmakers' Twisted Depiction of Netaji's Encounter with
Savarkar Uncovered
Chandra Kumar Bose also issued a cautionary statement
about filmmakers distorting historical facts for personal gain.
He reminded everyone that while Netaji did meet Savarkar,
he was not impressed by the latter's demeanor.
Netaji identified himself as a leader for all Bharatiyas,
transcending religious boundaries. This inclusivity was evident in his Azad
Hind Fauj, where individuals from all religious backgrounds actively
participated, illustrating his commitment to a united front against the
British.

Banned by the British: Savarkar's Controversial Book and His Fight for Independence
Born on May 28, 1883, Savarkar hailed from a Marathi
Chitpavan Brahmin Hindu family. Throughout his life, he played multiple roles,
including that of a politician, activist, and writer.
He emerged as a prominent figure within the Hindu
Mahasabha, a political organization. Even during his high school days, Savarkar
demonstrated a strong interest in politics, which continued during his studies
at Fergusson College in Pune.
While pursuing his law studies in the United Kingdom, he
became associated with groups such as India House and the Free India Society.
It was during this time that Savarkar authored books advocating revolutionary
methods to achieve Indian independence.
Notably, one of his works, "The Indian War of
Independence," was banned by the British colonial authorities.
