Pulitzer-award winning US journalist Louis Fischer met Gandhiji in July 1946. Govt of India financed, Oscar-winning movie "Gandhi" was based on Fischer's biography of Gandhiji. No one knew what transpired in the meeting in 1946.

After Fischer's death, his papers reached Princeton University, and lo, tumbles out the secret. There was a letter written on behalf of Gandhiji by his secretary Khurshedben Naoroji, granddaughter of the great Dadabhai Naoroji, first Indian to become an MP in the UK. 3/
Swami Prabhupada, founder of ISKCON/Hare Krishna Movement, was born this day in 1896. 🙏Every Indian must know what he said about Mahatma Gandhi, ahimsa and Netaji. And you will know the possible reason why he was never considered for Bharat Ratna. 1/n

"Thirty years he [Mahatma Gandhi] could not do anything. And Subhas Chandra Bose...went out of India and organized this I.N.A…and the Britishers were obliged to leave India. ...That is my estimation," he said in June 1976 in Los Angeles while conversing with his disciples. 2/n
Srila Prabhupada's reasoning was clear: "Well, in politics, unless there is violence, you cannot take. Simply by sweet words, not possible. That was the difference between our political leaders, Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose." 3/n
