Even when he knew there was little chance of success, Netaji's eagerness-heart pined to help his suffering countrymen. A compatriot in exile records:

"Every day Netaji used to listen eagerly to the news from India; and when he knew of the terrible famine in Bengal which was taking a heavy toll of human lives, Netaji was greatly perturbed. He was always thinking how he could come to the aid of his starving countrymen, especially the people of Bengal for whom his heart bled."
