The article says, "He [Gandhi] sang the praises of Subhas Chandra Bose"
And indeed, in 1942 Gandhi called Bose "a prince among the patriots". Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_views_of_Subhash_Chan... Wikipedia says that this was a "a reference, in particular, to Bose's achievement in integrating women and men from all the regions and religions of India in the Indian National Army." The source for the wikipedia quote is The Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi.
Thus it seems that the claim from the article is indeed correct, albeit it one-sided.
