Anita Bose Pfaff, daughter of Subhash Chandra Bose, has said that Netaji was a leftist and RSS-BJP doesn’t reflect his attitude. “RSS and BJP do not necessarily reflect this attitude [Bose’s attitude]… If you want to put a simple label, they are rightists, and Netaji was a leftist,” she told PTI over the phone from Germany, where she lives.

RSS’s ideology and Bose’s ideas of secularism and inclusiveness are poles apart and do not coincide, she further said.
