"Some people ask me why I am now praising Subhas Bose when I had opposed him while he was in India. I want to give a frank reply to this question. Subhas Bose and I were co-workers in the struggle for freedom for 25 years. He was younger to me by two or four years. .

(1/n).
Our relations with each other were marked by great affection. I used to treat him as my younger brother. It is an open secret that at times there were differences between us on political questions.

(2/n).
But I never for a moment doubted that he was a brave soldier in the struggle for freedom.I do not expect that there would be unanimity on every issue when we have achieved freedom. There will be always differences in the outlook of the people who belong to a healthy race.
(3/n).
Such differences are welcome. People who behave like sheep cannot make any progress.…The manner in which Netaji faced the crisis inspires admiration. Perhaps I might have done the same thing if I were in his position. "___ Jawaharlal Nehru.

"If the Hindu tyrannize over the Muslims, with what face will they talk of a World Federation? Those Hindus who, like, Dr Moonje and Shri #Savarkar, believe in the doctrine of the sword may seek to keep the Muslims under the Hindu domination. (1/n).
I do not represent that section. I represent the Congress".(2/n)___ Mahatma Gandhi on VD #Savarkar.
"Strange as it may appear, Mr. #Savarkar and Mr. Jinnah, instead of being opposed to each other on the one nation versus two nations issue, are in complete agreement about it. Both agree, not only agree but insist, that there are two nations in India (3/n).

1. Many of you are made to believe that RSS was invited by Pandit Nehruji in 1963 republic day parade. This however is not true. :-)
2. @swamy39 also said in his uncouth way (here zeenews.india.com/news/india/jaw…). Most claims cite this picture as evidence.
