established at the Centre.

Different Opinion

 Subash Bose and other socialists, such as Acharya Narendra Dev and Jayaprakash
Narayan, said that they had no sympathy for either side in the war. In fact, they thought

the situation and snatch freedom from Britain.

imperialism in its colonies and establishing full democracy in India;
 The government should declare its war aims soon.
