"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). Image
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). Image
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.

BROTHERS AND SISTERS,

"I have many things to say today. I shall try to deal with as many as I can. Today is Subhas Babu’s birthday. I have told you I cannot remember anyone’s Birthday or death anniversary. Someone reminded me of Subhas Babu’s birthday.

(1/n). Image
Subhas Babu was a votary of violence while I am a devotee of ahimsa. But what does it matter? Iknow that the most important thing is that we should learn from other people’s virtues. As Tulsidas says:

The Lord has created this world full of lifeless and living things and virtues and vices. The wise like the swan take the milk of virtue and leave out the waste of water.

"Moghul kings to unify the country and usher in a new era of all-round progress. During the sixteenth and seventeenth century under the rule of the Moghul emperors, India once again reached the pinnacle of progress and prosperity.

The greatest of them was Akbar, who ruled in the latter half of the sixteenth century.

"Certainly I said that the present government is a tyrant. What else could I say? If I am convinced that this government is evil I cannot pray for its long life. . . .

Whatever attractive things may be done for those in bondage, slavery is after all slavery. I deem it my national, religious and human duty to liberate my country and my people from servitude.

(2/n).
The present government is a negation of the wish and will of millions of people. It justifies the barbarous general massacre of Jallianwalla Bagh. It does not consider it unjust that people should be made to crawl upon their bellies like beasts. . . .
