Talk:Subhas Chandra Bose

This is Ridiculous

"In 1941, when the British learned that Bose had sought the support of the Axis Powers, they ordered their agents to intercept and assassinate Bose before he reached Germany. A recently declassified intelligence document refers to a top-secret instruction to the Special Operations Executive (SOE) of British intelligence department to murder Bose. In fact, the plan to liquidate Bose has few known parallels, and appears to be a last desperate measure against a man who had thrown the British Empire into a panic.[2]"

What? They were concerned about Bose aiding the enemy, at a time when Britain was fighting for her life. This makes it sound like it was Bose's independence activities that were the main concern. Someone has put a great deal of POV nonsense into this acticle, then locked it.

The discussion of "Netaji's" (hardly an objective way to refer to Bose, either) impact on the Indian independence movement is highly subjective. Not source is cited for the assertion in "Bose's Legacy" that the INA was not a puppet army of Japan or that the entire Indian nation was "aroused" by learning of Bose's struggle. The history of Britain's decision to give India independence is incorrect: it was not revolts in 1945 (which I don't believe happened) that triggered the decision, the Labour Party had decided on that course back in the '30s. A "substantial portion" of the British Indian Army did not revolt in 1945, and this article gives no evidence to support its view. Wretched.

I agree, There is not much on his Nazi collaboration. This page looks more like the Indian congress Party poster Earlyriser10 (talk) 04:16, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Inconsistency in "Escaping" section

"From Moscow, he reached Rome, and from there he traveled to Germany.[4][5][7] Once in Russia the NKVD transported Bose to Moscow where he hoped that Russia's traditional enmity to British rule in India would result in support for his plans for a popular rising in India. However, Bose found the Soviets' response disappointing and was rapidly passed over to the German Ambassador in Moscow, Count von der Schulenburg. He had Bose flown on to Berlin in a special courier aircraft..."

The first line has him go from Moscow to Rome to Germany, and the rest of the paragraph has him go directly from Moscow to Germany. Which is it ? StuRat (talk) 03:36, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Not done: I don't see any reason to add another language to his name--there is no indication in the article that he was from Tamil Nadu, lived there, spoke it, or is particularly important for their history. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:48, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

If on the other hand, it was a request to add the valid link to ta:சுபாஸ் சந்திர போஸ், note that interwiki links are normally added by bots. Dru of Id (talk) 12:04, 25 January 2012 (UTC) Already present. Dru of Id (talk) 12:07, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. This is a big edit and people might get a bit annoyed if I just removed all traces of them. They have their own articles too, so there's no reason why there shouldn't be links. If a lot of users have the same demand as you, then this edit can be done. --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 16:49, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I'll mark the section as unsourced; if no one adds a source in a week or so, remind me on my talk page and I'll remove the whole section. WP:V does not require that we get consensus to remove unsourced info; rather, others would have to get consensus to keep it. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:44, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
