[PU Editorial Note: 23rd January is celebrated by all the patriotic Indians as the Birth Anniversary of their beloved leader Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Shrii P. R. Sarkar had mentioned the name of Subhas Chandra Bose in many of his discourses with great reverence. He adorned the great leader of India by using attributions like:
…… apostle of the juvenile heart of modern Bengal, thunder like jewel of manliness, the blazing comet of politics, and the flaming meteor Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
On the 109th Birth Anniversay of the great thinker Subhas Chandra Bose, a person with a freedom loving soul, Proutist Universal is publishing the article “The Man and the Ideology” in which the Author Shrii P. R. Sarkar presents the uniqueness of Netaji’s ideological, intellectual and political caliber.]
At the very outset let me state that many theories have been propounded on this earth. Some of them survived for some time and then gradually passed out of existence; others emerged like meteors, exhibiting their dazzling radiance for a very short time, and then vanished into darkness. The mere existence of a theory is not the essential point; what is important is whether the theory promoted the welfare of all, the spiritual well-being of all - otherwise its advent on this earth was quite useless. Such useless theories are not even worth mentioning.
