Maybe they should form a book club.
Hillary Clinton, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and AOC's chief of staff Saikat Chakrabarti all need to read more 20th century history.
It's either that, or Chakrabarti idolizes ethnocentric fascist totalitarianism.
Below, see the recent photos which show AOC's chief of staff in a T-shirt homage to Subhas Chandra Bose.
Bose was not a very good guy. Indeed, in Bose's devoted allegiance to Nazi Germany and then Imperial Japan, one might suggest that to wear Bose's face is far more ludicrous than wearing that of Che Guevara. Before we get into Bose's life, here are the photos.
Now onto why Bose wasn't such a good guy.
It begins during the 1939-1940 period when Bose led a failed revolt against British rule in India. Why the revolt? Not famine, not a particular act of injustice, but rather Bose's fury over the British Raj's support for war against Nazi Germany. His antics unsupported by Mahatma Gandhi, Bose then fled to Europe. Eventually finding himself in Berlin, Bose quickly made himself a useful propaganda tool for Adolf Hitler. His support for the Nazis would include the development of an Indian combat force to fight alongside the Wehrmacht.
Supporting the Nazi war effort is generally not a trait of praiseworthy individuals. But Bose has more.
Recognizing that the Nazis didn't actually regard him as anything other than a useful idiot, Bose then abandoned his men and headed to the Japanese empire. Here, Bose found his worth leading a Japanese proxy force, the Indian National Army. Bose thus served a mission to dominate the Indo-Pacific under a flag of totalitarian slavery and unbridled fascist-militarism. A cause, one might say, that isn't exactly liberal.
Fortunately, Britain and its American allies, including my grandfather, ended Bose and Imperial Japan's foul ambitions. India would soon thereafter find freedom. But Bose wouldn't see what Gandhi's better leadership brought: he died in 1945 when his plane crashed in present-day Taiwan.
In short, Bose was a pathetic creature who failed in ambition, in leadership, and in basic morality. Chakrabarti should have read more history during his time at Harvard.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose meeting Hitler
Subhash Chandra Bose and Hideki Tojo, Tokyo, Japan, 10 Jun 1943
But one of Bose’s relatives did give us great radio systems. The biggest thing about Bose was, he wanted the English out of India. He didn’t side with Ghandi, he wanted a revolution like 1776. I think the reason it didn’t occur earlier was that Britain needed troops to fight in WW II. At least that’s the opinion I got from my MD.
Staffer Saikat Chakrabarti sells seashells by the seashore, The shells he sells are seashells, I’m sure. So if he sells seashells on the seashore, Then I’m sure he sells seashore shells.
Saikat Chakrabarti ——easy for you to say.
Saikat Chakrabarti. Sounds like a type of VD an unwary businessman would contract from a prostitute in Mumbai.
Interesting they were related. Plenty of Arabs supported Hitler for similar reasons, Nasser and Sadat were both German agents. But the fact remains, they were supporters of Hitler, and in Bose’s case Imperial Japan. Their baggage, and that of those who honor them.
A funny post.
But not funny for some poor jerk to catch and have to fight off. Catching Saikat Chakrabarti probably causes fever, weight loss, delerium and a loss of memory about how to get government benefits.
He awoke to see someone with big bulging eyes and huge horseteeth. Someone told him "The delirium is over. She is real."
I am trying to find this movie, something to watch, now that he’s been mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFapmsC6wxI
***Subhas Chandra Bose***
I thought that was Bose on the T shirt! Ever notice he is not even mentioned in the movie GANDHI?
Weird article.
What was wrong with Bose?
Bose managed to oust British colonists.He was neither a Nazi fighting for Hitler nor a Jingoist fighting for the empire of great Japan.
Aung San, father of Aung San Suu Kyi, used to cooperate with imperial Japan fighting against British colonists in 1940s, for the sake of Myanmar.
He really accomplished nothing, save for helping to get a lot of Japanese troops (and some members of the INA) killed in one of the most futile and costly campaigns of the Pacific War.
The article is as ridiculous as the lib/prog smears against Reagan whining his government used to cooperate with Mujahedeen to confront USSR in Afghanistan.
What ever Chandra Bose was he had guts and was a brave man. Occasional cortex and her soy boy helper Chkarabarti have neither guts nor, I am certain courage.
But the picture is great. Just imagine what the volume of uproar in the media would be if some Trump aid was caught on a selfie wearing a Nathan Bedford Forrest tee shirt.
Gandhi=MLK
Bose=Malcolm X
These losers can only fool
Young morons
But can he do the sexy dance?
