The discussion touched on symbols like Vande Mataram and Jana Gana Mana, their role in the independence movement, and Netaji’s vision of Purna Swaraj. The talk delved into controversial aspects, including the participation of INA members in riots during the partition and the role of Muslim leaders with Islamist ideologies.
