The Resume

    (January 23, 1897-August 18, 1945)
    Born in Cuttack, India
    President of the Indian National Congress (1938-39)
    Formed the All India Forward Bloc (1939)
    Formed the Azad Hind government in exile (1943)
    Led the Indian National Army of Indians formerly held as POWs by Japan
    Officially died in a plane crash in Taiwan while heading to Tokyo

Why he might be annoying:

    He resigned from the Indian National Congress after repeatedly clashing with Mahatma Gandhi over Gandhi's advocacy of non-violent resistance.
    He declared, 'I am an extremist.'
    He allied with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during World War II.
    He said, 'Our philosophy should be a synthesis between National Socialism and Communism' (1944).
    His body was never recovered from the plane wreckage, leading to rumors that he survived either as a captive of the Soviet Union or by going underground.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He contracted tuberculosis in prison after being arrested in a British roundup of nationalists (1925).
    His independence by any means stance made him a hero to much of the population of India.
    Gandhi said, 'His patriotism is second to none.... His bravery shines through all his actions.'
