According to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the partition of India in 1947 happened due to a combination of several factors. These included:

• The communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims, which had been increasing for many years, and were worsened by the divisive policies of the British Raj.
• The inability of the Indian National Congress and the All India Muslim League to find a common strategy to fight for independence. This was due to the different goals and aspirations of the two parties, which led to a lack of trust and cooperation.
• The British policy of divide and rule, which deliberately pitted different communities against each other to perpetuate their rule in India.

Based on the above factors, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose believed that if he had been present during the partition of India, it could have been avoided. He argued that:

• He would have been able to bridge the gap between the Congress and the Muslim League, and develop a common strategy to fight for independence.
• As a charismatic leader, he would have been able to unite the people of India across religious and regional lines, and bring them together towards a common goal.
• He would have stood up firmly against the British policy of divide and rule, and prevented communal tensions from escalating.

In this way, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose believed that his leadership could have prevented the partition of India and created a unified, independent country.
