Subhash Chandra Bose is one of the great leaders of India. Bose wanted to fight the then British Empire in which ‘the Sun never set’. British Navy was one of the strongest in the world. British army had cannons. And Bose wanted to win a war with them though he had no resources nor trained men or proper weapons.

Authors of “Freedom at Midnight” tell us that with his background of being a boy scout he thought that he could command an army. He believed that Germans and Japanese will help him fight the British without any benefit for themselves. It is unreasonable to say British were afraid of him and his 60k army (of whom more than 50% died) and so left India.
