Subhash chandra bose death

It has been more than 70 years since Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s death, but the questions regarding the circumstances of his demise — the time, year, and location of his passing away — are still shrouded in mystery. We commemorate his death anniversary on 18 August every year because, according to some of the significant biographers, Netaji died in a plane crash in Taihoku (Japanese Taiwan) on that day in 1945. The initial investigations carried out by the British Army, the government of British India, the government of Japan, and the Allied Forces also reached the same conclusion that Netaji suffered severe burns during the crash and later died in a hospital on the same day. According to an article published in The Wire, an independent and private investigation was carried out by war journalist Harin Shah, also corroborated the same story. The Beginning of The Dispute The seed of mystery and dispute grew after Indian Independence, in 1956 when the Indian government established the Netaji Inquiry Committee consisting of Shahnawaz Khan ( the parliamentary secretary of the time) Netaji’s brother Suresh Chandra Bose, and S.N. Maitra of the Indian Civil Service to investigate the freedom fighter’s death. The committee’s report concurred with the fact that Netaji died during the crash. However, Netaji’s brother refused to sign the report, indicating that this was a cover-up and blamed several political leaders, including Jawaharlal Nehru, for it. In 1966, Suresh Bose also clai...

When Julian Barnes, author of A History of the World in10½ Chapters, wrote that “history isn’t what happened, history is just what historians tell us”, he was telling the truth, but only half of it. The reality is historians tell what their political masters/patrons often want us to be told. Nothing explains this phenomenon better than the saga of Subhas Chandra Bose, whose role in India’s freedom struggle has been marginalised to such an extent that in the NCERT Class XII history textbook the very mention of Netaji’s INA (Indian National Army) exploits is conspicuous by their absence. The Independence movement has been appropriated by two men with Gandhi and Nehru surnames. More on the lines of a song from 1954 film Jagriti: “ De di humein azadi bina khadag bina dhal. Sabarmati ke sant tune kar diya kamaal.” The British, however, saw the entire episode differently. For them, Mahatma Gandhi’s role in India’s freedom struggle was “m-i-n-i-m-a-l”, as then British Prime Minister Clement Attlee told Bengal’s acting governor Justice PB Chakraborty, slowly chewing out the word to make an instant, dramatic impact. According to him, the role played by Netaji’s INA was paramount in India being granted Independence.

We commemorate his death anniversary on 18 August every year as it is widely believed that Netaji died in a plane crash in Taipei (Japanese Taiwan) on that day in 1945. The initial investigations carried out by the British Army, the government of British India, the government of Japan, and the Allied Forces also suggested and concluded that Netaji suffered severe burns during the crash and later died in a hospital on the same day. But a section of people rejected the narrative and believed that he survived the air crash and went into hiding to escape the British. There have been many reports that suggest the legendary freedom fighter and the founder of Azad Hind Fauz (AHF) spent his last days living in disguise in Faizabad, near Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. For years, some rumours claimed that Gumnami Baba, who had an uncanny resemblance with the freedom fighter was in fact Netaji in disguise. According to reports, he entered Uttar Pradesh via Nepal in the guise of an ascetic (sadhu) and started staying in Ram Bhava in Faizabad near Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh from 1983. He remained a complete recluse and interacted with only a handful of 'believers' who visited him on a regular basis. He never stepped out of his house, rather room, and majority of the people claim to have never seen him. Strangely, there is no proof that any person really died. Though his real identity and activities remained obscure, a great number of people maintain that he was freedom fighter Netaji Subhash ...

The mystery of what happened to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and how did he die continues to persist, even 75 years after he supposedly perished in an air crash in Taipei. Even though Justice MK Mukherjee, who was the one-man commission to inquire about the ultimate fate of Netaji, reported (in 2005) that he did not die in the so-called air crash, the commission could not conclude about his ultimate fate. Lately Netaji’s grand-nephew Surya Kumar Bose and grand-niece Madhuri Bose have raised an objection to Justice Mukherjee’s report and vociferously declared that Netaji had perished in the air crash. The declaration comes even as Bengali commercial movies on Gumnami Baba hit the screen last year. Gumnami Baba, a so-called holy man lived in Faizabad (the twin city of Ayodhya) from the 1960s onward till 1987 when he died. Gumnami Baba lived in isolation and he had a handful of disciples who believed that he was Netaji living incognito. Who was Gumnami Baba? Three years ago, a commission set up by the UP government to figure out who Gumnami Baba was, submitted its report. Though the report is kept under wraps, many feel that Gumnami Baba was put up by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to confuse matters. Then IB director BN Mallik (who served in the high office for two decades) was close to Nehru. He put up various holy men at various places to masquerade as Netaji in a political move that could benefit Nehru. At that time there were rumours that Netaji was in hiding in the USSR. It...
