Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's grandnephew, Chandra Kumar Bose, had debated the claim. He had told India Today, "Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was inspired by only two great personalities. One is Swami Vivekananda, who was his spiritual Guru, and the second person was freedom fighter Deshbandhu Chitranjan Das, who was his political mentor.
