Subhas Chandra Bose is the Indian nationalist leader who looked upon a war between Germany and Britain as a godsent opportunity that would enable Indians to exploit the situation to their advantage.

Subhas Chandra Bose was a prominent leader in the Indian independence movement and a vocal advocate for complete independence from British rule. During World War II, he sought support from Axis powers, including Germany and Japan, to gain assistance in India`s struggle for freedom. Bose believed that if Germany and Britain were engaged in a war, it would create an opportunity for India to assert its independence.

Bose formed the Indian National Army (INA) in collaboration with the Axis powers and sought to liberate India from British rule through armed struggle. His ideology and actions were controversial and drew mixed reactions from other Indian leaders and factions within the independence movement.
