  • Subhas Chandra Bose and the Alternative Politics in India Political Scenarios After Election
    Subhas Chandra Bose and the Alternative Politics in India Political scenarios after election • The Congress victory in the 1937 election and the consequent formation of popular ministries changed the balance of power within the country vis-a-vis the colonial authorities. • The growth of left-wing parties and ideas led to a growing militancy within the nationalist ranks. • The stage seemed to be set for another resurgence of the nationalist movement. • Just at this time, the Congress had to undergo a crisis at the top — an occurrence which plagued the Congress every few years. Way of the crisis within Congress • Subhas Bose had been a unanimous choice as the President of the Congress in 1938. • In 1939, he decided to stand again — this time as the spokesperson of militant politics and radical groups. • Putting forward his candidature on 21 January 1939, Bose said that he represented the ‘new ideas, ideologies, problems and programmes’ that had emerged with ‘the progressive sharpening of the anti-imperialist struggle in India.’ • On 24 January, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad, J.B. Kripalani and four other members of the Congress Working Committee issued a counter statement, declaring that the talk of ideologies, programmes and policies was irrelevant in the elections of a Congress president Result of the election • With the blessings of Gandhiji, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad, J.B. Kripalani other leaders put up Pattabhi Sitaramayya as a candidate for the post. • Subhas Bose was elected on 29 January by 1580 votes against 1377. • Gandhiji declared that Sitaramayya’s defeat was ‘more mine than his.’ Apex of the crisis • But the election of Bose resolved nothing, it only brought the brewing crisis to a head at the Tripuri session of the Congress.

    The Indian Struggle 1920-34 Subhas Chandra Bose www.subhaschandrabose.org January 2012 This book, first published in London in 1935, could be published in India only in 1948 since it was banned by the British Government. Mission Netaji is publishing this electronic version to facilitate a wider reach. The Indian Struggle Villeneuve (Vaud),Villa Olga, February 22,1935. Dear Mr. Subhas C. Bose, I duly received your volume “The Indian Struggle 1920-34”, which you were good enough to send me. I thank you for it and congratulate on it heartily. So interesting seemed the book to us that I ordered another copy so that my wife and sister should have one each. It is an indispensable work for the history of the Indian Movement. In it you show the best qualities of the historian: lucidity and high equity of mind. Rarely it happens that a man of action as you are is apt to judge without party spirit. …We, the men of thought, must each of us fight against the temptation, that befalls us in moments of fatigue and unsettledness, of repairing to a world beyond the battle called either God, or Art, or independence of Spirit, or those distant regions of the mystic soul. But fight we must, our duty lies on this side of the ocean, on the battle-ground of men… I sincerely wish that your health will speedily recover for the good of India that is in need of you and I beg you to believe in my cordial sympathy. Romain Rolland ii www.subhaschandrabose.org The Indian Struggle PREFACE Many are the defects that will be found in this book.
