How Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose revered Mahatma Gandhi, despite differences

“It will always be my aim and object to try and win his confidence, for the simple reason that it will be a tragic thing for me if I succeed in winning the confidence of other people but fail to win the confidence of India’s greatest man,” Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose said about Mahatma Gandhi. To sum up, the Governor said that Mahatma Gandhi's Non-Cooperation movement had little impact, but it was the military resistance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose that led to the end of the British Raj in India. Although Gandhi narrowly won the resolution, Bose's and his supporter's conduct made Gandhi write, "The volunteers dressed in European fashion presented, in my opinion, a sorry spectacle in Calcutta,” Gandhi wrote in Young India." Bose even called Mahatma Gandhi's wife Kasturba Gandhi, “mother to the Indian people” and expressed his “deepest sympathy for Mahatma Gandhi," after she died in British custody in 1944.
