"When the time came for Netaji to take his oath, a great hush descended upon the hall. It was a solemn moment. Netaji started with a firm voice. Then it began to quiver with emotion.... Suddenly he was sobbing; tears rolled down his cheeks. There was dead silence. No one could help him. All were helpless.
  The tension was terrific. Someone cried out, ‘Netaji ki jai’" — ‘Victory to Netaji!’ The cry was taken up, to echo and re-echo in the lofty hall.
