His Majesty’s Opponent: Subhas Chandra Bose and India’s Struggle against Empire Review: HIS MAJESTY'S OPPONENT : SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE - THIS IS A BIOGRAPHY OF THE REAL LIBERATOR OF INDIA SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE BY SUGATA BOSE. SINCE THE EARLY TWENTIES BOSE FOUGHT UNCOMPROMISINGLY AGAINST BRITISH COLONIALISM, HE WAS A MILITANT OF THE INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS; FROM THE THIRTIES HE HAD SOCIALIST LEANINGS HOWEVER UNLIKE THE SECULARIST AND PRO-SOVIET NEHRU BOSE BELIEVED IN A MULTIRELIGIOUS STATE IN WHICH THE THREE MAJOR RELIGIONS HINDUISM, ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY COEXISTED IN HARMONY, HIS ROLE MODELS WERE DE VALERA'S IRELAND AND ATTATURK'S TURKEY. WHEN WORLD WAR TWO BROKE OUT BOSE DID NOT SUPPORT BRITAIN FOR THAT REASON HE WAS JAILED, THE BOOK NARRATED HIS EPIC ESCAPE FROM INDIA TO AFGHANISTAN ACROSS THE SOVIET UNION (STILL ALLIED WITH GERMANY BECAUSE OF THE MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP PACT), FINALLY HE ARRIVED IN EUROPE AND MET WITH THE FUHRER AND THE DUCE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN SUPPORT FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST BRITISH COLONIALISM, BOTH OF THEM WERE LUKEWARM WITH BOSE, HOWEVER HE GOT ALONG WITH RIBBENTROP AS A MATTER OF FACT AN INDIAN LEGION WAS RAISED IN GERMANY TO FIGHT AGAINST BRITAIN; BOSE HOWEVER KNEW THAT THE REAL FIGHT WAS IN ASIA SO HE DEPARTED IN A GERMAN SUBMARINE IN WHICH HE WAS WELL TREATED, AFTER CROSSING THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE IT MADE A RENDEZVOUS WITH A JAPANESE SUBMARINE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INDIAN OCEAN AND FINALLY HE ARRIVED IN MALAYA WHERE HE RAISED THE INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY (INA) THAT FOUGHT ALONSIDE THE JAPANESE ARMY AGAINST BRITISH IMPERIALISM ACROSS SOUTHEAST ASIA WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF LIBERATE INDIA. HE WAS RESPECTED BY THE JAPANESE WHO TREATED HIM AS AN EQUAL UNLIKE THE CONDESCENDING AND ARROGANT WAYS OF THE BRITISH. ON NOVEMBER 1943 BOSE ASSISTED TO A PAN-ASIAN MEETING IN TOKIO PRESIDED BY THE PRIME MINISTER HIDEKI TOJO IN ORDER TO DELINEATE THE NEW ORDER IN ASIA KNOWN AS THE GREAT EAST ASIAN CO-PROSPERITY SPHERE WHICH WAS AN ALTERNATIVE TO BOTH THE PREDATORY CAPITALISM OF THE WEST AND THE OPPRESIVE AND TOTALITARIAN COMMUNISM OF THE SOVIET UNION. BOSE AND THE INA FOUGHT VALIANTLY AND CORAGEOUSLY UNTIL THE VERY END OF THE WAR, THE BATTLES OF IMPHAL AND KOHIMA ARE EXAMPLES OF THE DEDICATION AND RESILIANCE OF BOTH THE INA AND THE JAPANESE. BOSE DIED IN A PLANE CRASH IN SAIGON IN AUGUST 1945 ALMOST AT THE END OF THE WAR, TWO YEARS LATER IN 1947 INDIA BECAME INDEPENDENT. TODAY BOSE IS REVERED IN INDIA AS A REAL PATRIOT AND LIBERATOR ACROSS THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM FROM THE HINDUIST RIGHT TO THE SOCIALIST LEFT. BUT BOSE IS NOT ONLY ABOUT INDIA BUT A SHINING GUIDING LIGHT FOR ALL THE OPPRESED NATIONS LIKE CUBA WHICH FROM 1959 IS UNDER A TOTALITARIAN COMMUNIST TYRANNY THE MOST OPPRESIVE REGIME THAT THE AMERICAN CONTINENT (NORTH, CENTRAL AND SOUTH) HAS EVER HAD, ALL WHAT WE NEED IS A LEADER LIKE BOSE AND AN ALLY LIKE TOJO. Review: Thumbs Up - Brilliant biography. Required reading for any body interested in knowing what really happened to a very noble patriot. I highly recommend it. Author has done a wonderful service to plug a major gap in Indian struggle for independency. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,223,531 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #152 in Historical India & South Asia Biographies #695 in India History #4,324 in Political Leader Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (94) | | Dimensions | 6 x 1.12 x 9 inches | | Edition | Gld edition | | ISBN-10 | 0674065964 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0674065963 | | Item Weight | 1.55 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 448 pages | | Publication date | November 12, 2012 | | Publisher | Belknap Press | ## Images ![His Majesty’s Opponent: Subhas Chandra Bose and India’s Struggle against Empire - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VJvCbTYgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HIS MAJESTY'S OPPONENT : SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE *by A***O on September 13, 2016* THIS IS A BIOGRAPHY OF THE REAL LIBERATOR OF INDIA SUBHAS CHANDRA BOSE BY SUGATA BOSE.
