2. Reason behind partition
Doval said if Netaji had been alive then Partition vud never have happened
Coz that time Gandhi was final authority n whatever he said people had to follow n Gandhi accepted partition
But there was only one person who could stand in front of Gandhi
Gandhi had given up Quit India movement in 1942. There was no immediate pressure to vacate.
Atlee replied it was because of Netaji
He said though Netaji had died in 1945. Even after his death they were afraid of ideas of nationalism that it created n people were following it
Doval said when former British Prime Minister Clement Atlee, under whom the Indian Independence Act was signed, came to India in 1956, he stayed at Raj Bhavan in Kolkata.
“The then Governor asked Atlee why the British agreed to Independence in 1947 when there was no pressure.
1. Real reason - How India got independence
It was not Gandhi or Congress. Real reason was Netaji Bose and I am not saying this, British PM Atlee said this
Clement Atlee was PM of Britan during 1945 - 1951
