Many may not know but Bose, not Nehru (India's first PM in 1947) was the more popular & elected leader of Indian National Congress but was done-in by internal machinations of Nehru & Gandhi's stup*d / dangerous non-violence philosophy. It was the final actions, trial of Bose's Army in Delhi that led to the revolt of the Indian sailors in Indian navy Bombay (1946) - that finally convinced the British to leave "honorably" before they got booted out anyhow by the Indians.

Anakin Skywalker Do you know “The History Guy”?

[@anakinskywalker4086]

Sam I am Nkt personally, but yes I watch his videos.

5:41 The guy to the right of Himmler (Black coat and glasses) is Subhash Chandra Bose. He was an Indian Freedom Fighter who unlike Gandhi was willing use violence to expel the British from India. Here, in this meeting he was discussing the plans of a possible German intervention. His story is fascinating and should be checked out. He even had a German wife during that time (Amidst Nuremberg laws).

This is just fascinating knowledge! Thank you. Hopefully (and I’ve just commented also) Mark will do a video on it.

I guess the Germans during the 3rd Reich accepted Chandra Bose as a fellow Aryan and those law don't apply. Just a thought, look up Aryan in India in Google.

[@ashishhkumarr5108]

Great observation ✌️ Yeah he was a decorated freedom fighter for india had his own army funded by Hitler.

@Hater Sensei Grand Master Chosen One Bollywood is a racist industry. An average Indian's look is different than what it is depicted in Bollywood. Most of the time they choose Perso-Arabic faces.
