    Bose did make US an enemy by raising troops against the British. It's common sense. It was WWII. But US didn't reciprocate that well, else Bose would surely have gone to the wolves, if not the crows.

    What shit you smoke or books you read that I haven't? US didn't interfere in anything, directly or indirectly. After Pearl Harbor they had bigger fish to fry. What did I say in post # 42?

    Debunked.

    Pakistan was richer than India?

    Please tell me, if the USA gave a good company to Bose against the British at that time apart from some wordings. Sometimes you don't get much choice.
    Why would the Americans?

    You certainly do not, your ego does. If you did care, you'd have gone at lengths filing an RTI or a PIL in the Apex court, or read damn History.

    Bose knew the IJA were shooting Indian POWs and eating them. Ironic?

That was my point and not that Mahatma Gandhi didn't sign a pact with IJE.
    Indira made US an enemy? A country has to go to lengths to make US an enemy and fear retribution. India during Indira? Not so much.

Our politicians led us down. Shallow vision.

    US didn't make any decision that made Bose or India a US enemy during WWII. Bose, well down that list was probably grass in the food chain of a meat-eater. Not important enough to spend resources. Although, I'd admit Bose' courage. But courage in the wrong company is foolishness.

    Bose didn't turn up to be a great force. No one's sure if he had a funeral or crows feasted on him.

    Funny how everything is US' fault even decades from today.



    Wrong premise. Britain was almost bankrupt after WWII. Holding onto India and managing it meant crores to be spent, which they simply couldn't afford. One amongst many reason, why it finally dawned on the Brits that it was time to quit.

    Anti,

    If my great-grandfather was killed by your great-grandfather, we'd have some kind of an enmity between us even to this day. BF is correct in his position that an enemy's friend is better dead. He has his say and his opinion matters. Fortunately this is WAB, I can criticise Jesus and Christianity and even the white supremacist Americans, quoting the correct sources and get away with it. Not lecturing you, so my apologies in advance, if you feel offended.

    Nationalism had attained maturity by 1947 in India. Britishers could not hold onto the entire India no matter what after that. The British were able to rule India because unity and nationalism was absent. Their Divide and Rule policy had reached the end of its guarantee period.
    And since Britain was supreme power before WW2, and it couldn't hold on to India, Japan wouldn't have either. So, it was not the case of jumping from a pot into the fire.

    How does that even make sense? By that logic, Hitler was also not the primary decision maker, he just had the final go-no-go authority. The decisions were made by Himmler, Goebbels and other SS officers. Hitler was called the Fuhrer in Germany and Hirohito was called the Emperor (whatever in Japanese) in Japan. Hitler should have then the same respect in Germany as Hirohito has in Japan??

    But who the hell said anything about killing Bose? There was no assassination attempt nor was he a primary target even for the Brits. If captured, he would face the books but there was no special glee for his demise. There were far more important targets to be achieved and I hate to burst more myths for you but Bose was extremely low on the list of target priorities. Hell, he's even off the list.
    I was referring to the glee in Bigfella's statement. He seemed quite happy to hear that Bose was killed by Stalin. I don't know whether or not he protests that USA didn't kill Hirohito.

Legally, Bose and the INA were hostile enemies of the United States by their own choosing.

    Sorry, that is the bed that Bose made.

    So, how does that change the JAPANESE narrative? We're not talking about what the Brits or the Americans are saying. We are talking about what the JAPANESE are saying!
    I don't know about this one, need more info.

    Your country. Your rules. But WAB ain't India.

    Well, that is another thing. It would be so out of character for Stalin to do anything for rights or kudos. He doesn't care if the thing is right or people would cheer for it. He cares if it would scare you.

    Bose is YOUR myth and you have the right to believe it anyway you want but when even the Japanese are saying that Bose was a nobody, don't make the rest of us believe those lies.

    Take the higher number, 50,000. The IJA was 5+ million strong. Not even 1% prisoners.

    Yes, he lost.

    Here's a guy who sided with Hitler and Hirohito and you're talking about rights? Monsters don't understand anything about rights. They only understand power. If anything, Bose chosed the smallest of the three monsters and you are surprised when the biggest monster alledgedly squashed him?
    No,
