Did anybody watch the documentary "The War of the Springing Tiger" carried
by WNET-New York last Sunday after the 'Jewel in the Crown' episode? It
was about the INA and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. I found its diatribes
(accusing both Netaji and the INA of treason) quite ironic: after all, what
Netaji did was almost exactly what Charles de Gaulle did -- join forces 
with the opponents of the occupiers of his country, form a government in
exile, and encourage resistance movements back home. Yet de Gaulle is a
hero and Netaji is a "traitor". Poor Netaji, too bad for him he backed a
loser! He was probably misguided in thinking that the Japanese had
honorable intentions towards India, but you can't blame him for trying.
