Consider the following statements regarding Subhash Chandra Bose views. 1. Bose considered industrialization as a potent factor in making India strong and self-sufficient. 2. Bose did not share Gandhian ideal of “Ahimsa”.  Which of the following statements given above is/are correct?

Option 3 : Both 1 and 2

The correct answer is Both 1 and 2.

• Gandhi was hostile to industrialisation, while Bose advocated industrialization, perhaps inspired by soviet progress. Hence statement 1 is correct
• He stated, "I am convinced that if we do desire freedom we must be prepared to wade through blood", a statement at odds with Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence. Hence statement 2 is correct.
• He thus raised the Azad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army (INA), to free India from British control.

• Subhas Chandra Bose's political views were in support of complete freedom for India at the earliest, whereas most of the Congress Committee wanted it in phases, through Dominion status.
• Even though Bose and Mohandas K. Gandhi had differing ideologies, the latter called Bose the "Prince among the Patriots" in 1942.
  • Bose admired Gandhi, recognising his importance as a symbol of Indian nationalism; he called him "The Father of Our Nation" in a radio broadcast.
