    Read the passage carefully:

    1. Subhash Chandra Bose fulfilled a promise to his father that he would sit for the
    Indian Civil Service examination in London. He secured the fourth position in 1920
    but then went on to fulfill his own wish. He resigned from the coveted service the
    following year, saying ―only on the soil of sacrifice and suffering can we raise our
    national edifice‖. Returning to India, he plunged into the national struggle and by
    1923, was secretary of the Bengal State Congress and President of All India Youth
    Congress.
    2. By 1927, he emerged, along with Jawaharlal Nehru, as leader of the new youth
    movement, which came into its own by playing a major role in the anti-Simon
    Commission agitation which swept India that year. He was also the chief organizer
    of the Calcutta session of the Indian National Congress (INC) in December 1928,
    which demanded that the goal of the congress be changed to 'Purna Swaraj' or
    'Complete Independence'.
    3. Imprisonment in the Civil Disobedience movement followed by bad health in 1932
    took him to Europe where he observed European politics, particularly Fascism under
    Mussolini and Communism in the Soviet Union. He was impressed by both and
    believed that authoritarian rule was essential for achieving radical social goals.
    4. In fact, it is in this period that political views of Nehru and Bose begin to diverge
    sharply,
    especially on the issue of Fascism and Nazism. Nehru was so vehemently opposed
    to Fascism that he refused to meet Mussolini even when the latter sought him out,
    whereas Bose not only met Mussolini but was impressed by him. Nehru was sharply
    critical of the growing danger to the world from the rise of Hitler. Bose, on the other
    hand, never expressed that kind of aversion to Fascism, and was quite willing to
    seek the support of Germany and later Japan against Britain. However, he was not
    happy with the German attack on Soviet Union in 1941, and that was one reason
    why he left Germany for Japan. For Bose, Socialism and Fascism were not polar
    opposites, as they were for Nehru.
    5. In 1938, Bose was unanimously elected, with the full support of Gandhiji, as
    Congress president for the Haripura session. But the next year, he decided to stand
    again, this time as a representative of militant and radical groups. An election
    ensued which Bose won by 1,580 to 1,377 votes, but the battle lines were drawn.
    The challenge he threw by calling Gandhian leaders rightists who were working for a
    compromise with the British government was answered by 12 members of the
    working committee resigning and asking Bose to choose his own committee. Nehru
    did not resign with other members but he was unhappy with Bose‘s casting of
    aspersions on senior leaders. He tried his best to mediate and persuade Bose not to
    resign.
    6. The crisis came to a head at Tripuri in March 1939, with Bose refusing to
    nominate a new working Committee and ultimately resigning. The clash was of
    policy and tactics. Bose -18- wanted an immediate struggle led by Gandhiji, whereas
    Gandhi ji felt the time was not right for struggle.
    7. Having burnt his boats with the Congress. Bose went to Germany and then to
    Japan in 1943 to seek help in the struggle against their common enemy, Britain. He
    finally went to Singapore to take charge of the Indian National Army (INA) which had
    been formed by Mohan Singh in 1941 from Indian prisoners of war captured by the
    Japanese. The INA was clear that it would go into action only on the invitation of the
    INC; it was not set up as a rival Centre of power. Bose made this more explicit when
    on July 6, 1944, in a broadcast on Azad Hind Radio addressed to Gandhiji, he said,
    ―"Father of our Nation! In this holy war of India‘s liberation, we ask for your blessing
    and good wishes." –
