Infosys Technologies founder-chariman NR Narayana Murthy has expressed shock over the country's political leadership failing to pay due respect to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and said India would have become the second most powerful economy had the legendary freedom fighter been a part of post-Independence nation-building.
"We have not paid him due respect. It is time this is corrected," he said delivering the annual Netaji oration - "If only Netaji had participated in post-independence nation building" - on the leader's 114th birth anniversary.
The corporate patriarch said role models like Netaji can instil courage, confidence, discipline and inspire those in the upper echelons of society to wipe the tears of their suffering compatriots.

He said independent India would have benefited a lot in areas like economic progress, population control and adopting modern agricultural methods if Netaji had been a part of post-Independence leadership.
"I believe India would have been a powerful exporter much before China if only Netaji had a frontseat in our policy making along with (Jawaharlal) Nehru... India would have seized the opportunity the world offered and would have become the second most powerful economy in the world," Murthy said during the oration at the Netaji Research Bureau.
"Netaji was one of the most courageous leaders in India. Netaji was a real bold Indian leader who could have stood up to anyone... courage is one attribute which is more important in leadership than any other quality," he said.
