Bose in Jealgora , Dhanbad,Bihar (contd-1)[correspondence with jawaharlal Nehru]

The letters written Jawaharlal Nehru were in a different manner, for Bose claimed that he had been respectful to Nehru in the past;
" ...ever since I came out of internment in 1937 , I have been treating you with the utmost regard and consideration , in private life and in public. I have looked upon you as 'politically an elder brother' and a teacher and have often sought your advice. When you came back from Europe last year, I went to Allahabad to ask you what lead you would give us."
But when the crucial moment had come and Bose decided to challenge the Gandhians at the end of 1938, he found his socialist colleague , his political elder brother was not with him.
Nehru explained his stand of not supporting Subhas was;
"I was against your standing for election for two major reasons. " 1.He did not want to go against Gandhi,  The left was not strong enough to shoulder the burden by itself  because, to his opinion , most of them are adventurist in the technical political sense. 2. that in international affairs he (Subhas) hold different views regarding Nazi government or fascist.
He also felt that Bose did not have any definite program, his leftism was rather vague. Nehru said that Bose had not charged and  some of Bose's actions made him  realise that how difficult to  work with him.
Nehru wanted a compromise between Bose and the Gandhians his main concern was to avoid a split between the two factions
In a long letter dated March 28, 1939 to Nehru Bose opened his mind
" for some time past you have become completely biased against me...since the Presidential election, you have done more to lower me in the estimation of the public than all the twelve members  of Working Committee put together. Of course if I am such a villain , it is not only your right but also your duty to expose me before the public."  
However Bose agreed that in international matters he hold different views in the National interest. He cited the example of other countries including Russia who made a pact with the Imperialist British as well as Germany (non-aggression pact) for their national interest, then where lies the harm if he takes as 'enemies enemy is our friend". He also pointed out that Nehru wanted to offer asylum to Jewish refugees.
