Not even slightly. Adams and McGuinness fought against what they saw as occupiers independently. Bose simply fought in favour of an even worse would be occupier, in spite of them having committed atrocities like the Nanking massacre and many others in China, which makes Jallianwalla Bagh look like a tea party.
What they saw as occupiers or who were genuinely occupiers?
Are you absolutely sure that it wasn't caused by other factors, like say the Japanese invasion of Burma cutting off supplies, millions of Indians returning from Burma to Bengal, a population explosion and a crop failure all occurring simultaneously?
Depends how far you want to retrace history. Technically Scotland could be deemed to be occupied by the Irish.
Take it as far back as the Celts for all I care and re label WW-2 and your campaign in Germany & Italy as revenge for the Saxons invasion of Britain and that of the Romans too.
Depends who you ask in Northern Ireland. Anyone who collaborated with the axis powers in WWII is both an idiot and a traitor to humanity and their country. Had Bose got his way, India would have been under the thumb of Imperial Japan and enjoyed the same experiences as China. There is no liberation to be had in that.
So, in your view the IRA was a collaborator ! Thanks for the confirmation. Guess we know where do you stand and what do you stand for! Don't worry about Bose. He did what he must and there's no Indian here or outside who sees it as a stain against his memory. The crowning glory is post the war, there was a mutiny within The ranks of the Royal Indian Navy which was preceded by a public outcry on the trial of treason against INA survivors who were ex Royal Indian Army personnel. All this prompted the British to scoot.
The people who collaborated with the Nazis were yes but no one celebrates them. They're an embarrassment even to the IRA now.
Well here's the problem, you can't get your story straight. Another version is that he diverted food elsewhere to help the war effort. There was no burning of crop. Not a single hit for it on Google and zero images. There were less famines in India during colonial rule than in China during the same period and more people died from famine and malnutrition in 70 years after colonial rule than the 200 years during, despite the green revolution and a host of modern technology, and during peacetime not wartime. The Bengal Famine is an average year for India now.
The bengal famine was not a result of crop failure but a loot of food from India to support WW1 and to ensure that Indians do not retaliate against it, British brought in their stooge Gandhi from SA and presented him as messiah to Indians. Supported by Nehru and Patel, Gandhi and Congress remained tight lipped during the mass murder of Indians.
Churchill succeeded in defeating the axis powers that Bose supported. People responsible for direct and deliberate atrocities, not wartime famines passed off as atrocities.
WWI is the wrong period. Churchill was fighting a war on three fronts, he simply didn't realise the extend of what was happening in Bengal. The crop did fail.
