In his “History of the Freedom Movement in India” Vol 3, renowned historian Dr R C Majumdar quotes a conversation between P B Chakraborty and Clement Attlee: “...Attlee had cited several reasons, the most important of which were the activities of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose which had weakened the very foundations of the attachment of the Indian land and naval forces to the British government.” Hence, let not Mr Rahul harbour any illusions about his party’s role in ending the British rule, when the colonialists themselves reveal the names of the persons behind their retreat. Instead of Goebbelsian communal propaganda against the BJP, Mr Rahul should question the ruling party on jobs, agriculture, poverty and environment.
