2. Amartya Sen on Subhash Chandra Bose: Netaji's vision of equity and justice remain exemplary and profound today. Unfortunately that vision remained unrealised and the governments of independent India did not do enough to pursue that vision. The present government is doing even less.

3. Amartya Sen on Subhash Chandra Bose: While secret files on Netaji being declassified by the central government are important and I am interested to see what was in them, it was far more important to debate Netaji's life and work than his death.

4. Amartya Sen on Subhash Chandra Bose: We are in a situation, where Netaji's vision is very badly needed in every sphere of life. Right now in the country, there is a sense of communalism being created so much so that secularism is being considered a bad word. Netaji's vision would not countenance sowing of discontent between social groups.

5. Amartya Sen on Subhash Chandra Bose: I don't think the majority, the Hindus have anything against the Muslims, Christians or Jews or Parsees, I think this is a constructed political agenda, and if we have to fight that, we have to follow Netaji's vision of equity and justice.
