Fake claim being made that in a 1945 cartoon Savarkar was shown taking aim at Gandhi and his aides, including Bose and Ambedkar. The claim is patently absurd. Everyone wore round glasses back in those days. For example, Asaf Ali.

Every child in India knows that Bose and Ambedkar were never part of the Gandhian clique depicted in this cartoon from 1945. Bose had been humiliated and thrown out of Congress back in 1939.
The original of this cartoon has never been furnished by those who are circulating it. Pls find out the original caption and the month of publication. By August 1945, Bose had reportedly died.
Pics of Bose taken in Germany in similar attire were hardly seen in India in 1945. There was total censorship on news relating to Bose. These pics became well known only in recent years. People mix up things to produce their own cocktail of lies.
The source of this cartoon and the claim it shows Bose and Ambedkar is a writer with links to Congress party.
Asaf Ali was deputed by CWC in 1945 to find out upto what extent the people of India were impressed by Bose and INA. Ali's feedback forced Congress to take politics inspired stand to back INA, even though they were totally opposed to them for waging war against British King.
