Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose: A comparative study of ideology and its application in the perspective of Freedom Movement

Abstract

Subhas Bose and Jawaharlal Nehru come down to the national movement almost at the same lime. Both of them espoused the ideology of the left and socialism. Jawaharlal did not stick to the political ideology of the left firmly. He was, in most cases, subdued by Gandhian pressure. Subhas Bose was respectful to Gandhi and his ideology. At times; he dared to challenge the course of Gandhi which was unprecedented. As a result of that Subhas adopted the most adventurous scheme of seeking the assistance of the Axis powers during the Second World War, whereas Jawaharlal remained faithful to Gandhian ideology as a means to the achievement of freedom.
