This episode examines the significant ideological and methodological differences between two key figures in India's independence movement, Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose. It highlights Gandhi’s unwavering commitment to non-violence (Ahimsa) and civil disobedience (Satyagraha), contrasting it with Bose's belief in forceful resistance and leveraging external alliances—specifically the looming threat of World War II—to achieve immediate, complete freedom. The text describes critical events, such as the 1927 Madras Session where Bose and Nehru demanded full independence, and the political conflicts surrounding Bose’s re-election as Congress President, which ultimately led to his forced resignation and the formation of the Forward Block. Despite their intense disagreements over strategy and the timing of resistance, the document notes that Bose still held deep respect for Gandhi, famously referring to him as the 'Father of Our Nation' (জাতির জনক), illustrating a complex relationship of political opposition yet mutual personal regard.
