Granted, this system was released almost four years ago, but the shape and overall design feels so much more dated.Īll of the input jacks are located on the back of the stereo. We didn’t understand why there was a separate pedestal that didn’t lock into the rest of the stereo. Right out of the box, we began to question the design aesthetic. It’s important to note that the depth is an additional inch if you are okay with bending the BoseLink cable against your wall and two inches if you aren’t. Together they are 5.3 inches tall, 14.5 inches at the widest point, and 8.6 inches deep. The body of the stereo is actually two pieces, a 1.6-inch tall pedestal and a 4.1-inch upper section that sits on top of the pedestal. We don’t know how Bose is getting those numbers because that’s not what we measured. All this shows that the sway of the British throughout the world has ended for good.Lifewire / Benjamin Zeman Design: Needlessly complex and confusingĪccording to their website, the Bose Wave SoundTouch Music System IV measures 4.3 x 14.5 x 8.8 inches and weighs 8.8 pounds. Only in that way can the claims of the Indian peoples get the weight and consideration they deserve in the changed world after the war.įinally, the way in which Bose escaped from the clutches of the British despite all the much boosted vigilance of the C.I.D., and the way in which he has been travelling about at will, and now the completion of his long and hazardous journey across half the world from Europe to Japan. He was in prison already before he outwitted his captors and left India at a time when many other leaders were still at liberty in the country, whether to stay on in India, locked up in prison and helpless, or to be outside the clutches of the BRTXX British and there to work for his motherland was the choice before Bose, and he made his choice.īesides, the present time makes it absolutely imperative for a prominent Indian who can rightly claim to voice the desires of his countrymen to be in close touch with the powers which are going to emerge victorious from this conflict. But judging from what is happening in India today, it would not be difficult to imagine what would have been his fate had he been in India now. Of course, being outside India at such a momentous period is not without its serious disadvantages for a leader like Bose. Now revealed, that the Japanese Prime Minister had only the day before received Subhas Chandra Bose in audience.

Every patriotic Indian must advance toward the field of battle. I am confident that with the help of my countrymen in East Asia I shall be able to organise a gigantic force to sweep the British from India, in conjunction with those who have been fighting at home. This is our supreme task and duty, before which no other type of service VXX counts for much.Īll those countrymen of mine who are prepared to fight for the liberation if India will please get into touch with me at once, either directly or through their local organisation. I therefore desire all able bodied Indians living in East Asia to volunteer to fight with me for the liberation of our motherland. It is our task to supply this one want, and thereby to eliminate once for all the only drawback in our national struggle. We lack an organisation to meet force with force. We Indians, have up till now lacked one thing and one thing alone. ‘BOSE CALLS ON INDIANS ABROAD TO FORM AN ARMY’ No.2 12.26 This task must therefore devolve on Indians living abroad and particularly on Indians living in East Asia. But it is not possible for our country-men at home to organise an armed revolution and to fight the British army of occupation with modern arms. If therefore we want to expel the British from India, we shall have to fight the enemy with their own weapons.
