Ambedkar further said that the British were ruling with the strong belief that they had total control over the loyalty of soldiers. Whatever happened in the country or whatever politicians did were not areas of concern for them. But when they found out that Indian soldiers had formed a party and were planning to blow them away, the British hopes were squashed.
There was considerable amount of faith in the INA. The British were now scared of a rebellion as the army was now looking up to Bose. Netaji had done enough damage and the British were certain of leaving India. The only question was 'When?'. The man who had paved the way for a British exit was nowhere to be seen. We owe it to Bose, the man who made a greater impact than Gandhi.
