This was the meeting based on which Savarkar claimed in his book 'Tejasvi Tare' in 1950s that he suggested Netaji to leave country and carry out armed struggle against British. 1/7 
I think this was the first attempt of apportionment of icons. Netaji nowhere mentioned any influence of Savarkar in his decision to leave country 2/7
In fact the meeting happened on the behest of another leader, Mohammad Ali Jinnah!
Netaji mentioned about the meeting in his writings expressing frustration. 3/7
Netaji mentioned about the meeting in his writings expressing frustration. 3/7
Netaji writes ," Mr. Savarkar seemed to be oblivious of the International situation and was only thinking about how Hindus could secure military training by entering Britain's army in India ... nothing could be expected from either the Muslim League or the Hindu Mahasabha" 4/7
Netaji's Forward Bloc was brutal against Hindu Mahasabha in the years to follow, both on the streets and in the writings. 5/7
On the other hand, even having bitter differences Netaji always remembered Gandhi and Nehru in his speeches, celebrated Mahatma Gandhi's birthday with INA. 6/7
It is easy to understand the origins of the so called 'enimity' like #NetajiVSNehru or #SardarVsNehru and apportionment.
These legends actually taught us how to work for the nation despite having the differences. 7/7
