Now, new information throws light on Bose's intense political activities surrounding the revolutionary groups in Bengal, Punjab, Maharashtra and United Provinces, his efforts to bridge the increasing communal divide and his influence among the splintered political landscape his outlook and relations with women his plunge into the depths of spirituality his penchant for covert operations and his efforts to engineer a rebellion among the Indian armed forces. These often revolve around his resignation from the Indian Civil Service, joining the freedom movement, to be exiled twice for over seven years, throwing a challenge to the Gandhian leadership in the Congress, taking up an extremist position against the British Raj, evading the famed intelligence network to travel to Europe and then to Southeast Asia, forming two Governments and raising two armies and then disappearing into the unknown. That, however, is an assessment of his life based on what is widely known about him. There are not many Indian heroes whose lives have been as dramatic and adventurous as that of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
