There are plenty of examples here of your Irishness without you being explicit about it, to an ordinary new member out here. He tied up with the Japanese to get rid of you. There was civil disobedience in this nation to get rid of you. You were so unwanted that we preferred the Japanese or the Germans or even the Russians to you Is that too hard to understand?
The British with the
Royal Indian Army held him back. This wasn't an Indian Army controlled by the people's representatives. It was a colonial army. Most of the Indian PoW's who joined up Bose from Singapore & Malaya were drawn in by both - the notion of being participants in an armed struggle for freedom as much by Bose's personal reputation & charisma, when the British Army there surrendered without putting up much of a fight , may I add, leading the Japanese to sweep through.
Btw - this army known as the Azaad Hind Fauj or the Indian National Army also comprised many ordinary citizens of Indian origin , taken down to plantations there as indentured labour - a more polite term for slavery, just like the tenant farmers in Ireland, who apart from volunteering also contributed in cash, jewellery and other valuables - their life's earnings , to this noble cause. That's the kind of support Bose & the INA enjoyed overseas and at home. It's testament to Bose's dynamism, his charisma, his sterling reputation and standing with the Indian masses.
Are you aware that in the aftermath of the war, when remnants of the INA were court martialled, charged with treason, murder, among other charges - a charge which straight away attracts the capital punishment or transportation for life , there was such a huge public outcry over the proceedings and the verdict that the British
literally shat in their pants and pardoned them. Yes, you read it right.
THE BRITISH PARDONED THEM. Says a lot about your lot or the lot you claim as your own.

It's called deewangi. Look up the meaning.The urge to make the ultimate sacrifice in the freedom of your motherland is held by many to be sacred across cultures & civilizations and time. I don't know where do you come from or what your upbringing suggests apart from your education, which is evident out here. But what I state is conventional wisdom. Something the Irish practised, something the French Partisans did, something the Soviets did in the battle of Stalingrad, something the Chinese did against the Japanese, something Churchill himself stated in his now famous speech ( when his & your collective balls we're being squeezed hard by the Germans in the Battle Of Britain) - We shall never surrender.
These are lofty ideals. Descendants of serfs for 7 centuries who kept fledding their native land for the new world , raised on a potato diet won't comprehend such noble thoughts or deeds, at least not completely. Had you a tenth of the spirit we had & the ingenuity, not to mention pride, you would have got rid of the British from your isles a long time ago and not endured 7 centuries of servitude. You're a living example of what a subjugated mind is. Of what a minion means.

sounds familiar? It's the story of your people & you. Written by a Scotswoman. Your former landlords. To troll you & your lot, I imagine, Donahue.
This is priceless, it's almost like Iron Maiden wrote 'Can I play with Madness' especially for him. He played with madness and his soul burned in a lake of fire.
