Netaji - Ten Truth seeking Questions to the present dysfunctional Government of India

Netaji on a voyage during WWII

Netaji on a voyage during WWII

The saga of Netaji continues - his biography is read bymillions Indian households as a part of children's awakening of patriotism.Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose - His Majesty's Opponent- the Indian Freedom Fighterwho fought the colonial rules tooth and nail, Gandhiji's Patriot of patriots.Netaji's life's abrupt end shrouded with dubious plane crash and Govt ofIndia's setting up of three Enquiry Commissions still not able to resolve themystery. Rather, the Truth seekers and researchers on Netaji are increasinglygetting a sixth sense feeling that a distinct quarter in the corridor ofcentral power since the Nehru days are desperate to hide certain very seriousfacts from the people of this country.

The feeling and belief that has grown stronger with eachpassing year since 1945 is that World War Allied forces’ governments and theGovernment of India( even after change of guards) has continued to act andbehave consistently in a surprised uniformity of attitude despite the change ofguard at the centre – a government of the own people has behaved so strangelyover the years and left a lot of foot prints to make a man of commonintelligence wonder – what has gone wrong with these rulers at the centralcorridor of power ?

Why people of India has to take selective pain-stakingindividual pursuits in foreign archives of Russia, seek information through alegal process in American  secret files, and the Government of Indiasnores and look the other way!

What has gone wrong with these rulers at the centralcorridor of power? While the Supreme Court Judge appointed by NDA though onlyon the basis of one High Court directive and the judge concludes withpainstaking facts that Netaji never did die in an air crash. And as people see,this ruling class of UPA whose central party is Indian national Congress, hasagain played the bad man through the rule of law. All the loop holes of law UPAwould exploit to ensure that Netaji era is blacked out and no new facts areestablished. As law says, report of no Commission is binding but is of advisorycapacity. So, what has gone wrong with these rulers at the central corridor ofpower? Noting has gone wrong. They have stuck to their party’s dictates as keptand carried through lips since Nehru.

This is the saddest part of Indian modern history ofpolitical science. People and the government are poles apart – Government hasbeen trying to hoodwink the people. But in a era of  blogs, net and borderless societies, news and information spread so fast and truth are conveyed in amatter of click and this blog - net -email is now the crusader not only againstthe anti-people government but against the media of PAID NEWS.

I was surprised and happy to see the warmth of love and thedesire in the people’s heart across all corners of India to give a properburial of doubt about the Netaji saga – its last question mark “1897 - ? “

Now contrast this to a large media ruled and reigned by thecorrupt political class – without naming them, I can assure that the firstseeds of divide in a country are sown by the media – they would explain eachissue related to Netaji with a prefix adjective “Bengali” and the infectionspreads. When two doyens of Indiadied in quick succession this year leaving behind lacs of  fans andadmirers across Indiaand world in a spell of shock, the media reported the first breaking news storyas ….”Assaam’s Bhupen Hazarika  

What has gone wrong with these rulers and their acting handsof power – some visible some invisible? I have a small ten point list. I, as acitizen of India,needs the answer from the current ruling power – the same power that have hadscuttled each and every effort of Netaji and his legend Azad Hind Fauji from living a life of respect and recognition.

My Ten Questions to Government of India on the auspiciousoccasion of Netaji’s birth anniversary falling on 23^rd January

1.      What happened with the INA Treasures and its declassifiedcontents during Nehru era?

2.      Why Nehru felt the need to inform British Premier Atleeabout Netaji’s presence in Russia– under what understanding and agreement, Govt of India informed?

3.      Why Pranab Mukherji, Central Minister of UPA-I had visitedNetaji’s wife abroad in 2008 asking her to accept the ashes of Netaji kept atRamoji Temple, Japan while now it is confirmed to Government as per JusticeMukerjee Commission report and other foreign declassified reports and reports,reflections of various witnesses and a few path breaking research abroad thatthe ashes at ramoji temple was not of Netaji and was fake, Will Government ofIndia make official announcement rectifying its record on the basis of truthrevealed and show its respect and honour to son of the soil ?

4.      Why Nehru’s and Government of India’s relation suddenlyclimaxed from 1953 onwards after change of guards in Russia. Was there a secret swapdeal with Krushchev involving Netaji, since Russian archive records hints aboutNetaji alive in Russiain 1953.

5.      The first commission formed by Govt of India to quellpeople’s unrelenting demand inside parliament and outside led to Nehru announcinga Commission of Enquiry. Why this report was accepted by GoI despite the reportwas not signed by one of the commission member who did not agree to the contentof the report. Why a report was accepted without visit and enquiry to the crashsite by commission members? The excuse of not having diplomatic contact withTaiwan, how long the GoI would continue to site the same argument as now, whena new commission has visited and cross examined the witnesses, the skeletons oflie has fallen from the cupboard. Will GoI consider findings of all the threecommissions together and make its stand clear before people of this countrywhose emotions and anxieties they are deemed to represent?

6.       On a plain reading of all the commissions efforts, whyit gives a crystal clear signal that those sitting in central government didnot offer the fullest cooperation and at many critical junctures createdobstacles for further evidence gathering

7.      Why Russian Research Scholar Purabi Roy who went on her ownand accessed Russian archives and Russian connections and was able to open upsome ground breaking clues had to return empty handed with sudden cold stand ofRussian government to part with the documents – was it at the behest ofGovernment of India,  as is believed in the wide circle of truth seekers?

8.      Why Government of India has consistently played the spoilsport as far as collecting the memorial items for the golden trails of INA,just to site a few –  the recent harassment of a INA fauj waiting to handover two revolvers used by Netaji in Singapore

9.       While INA soldiers were court marshalled at Red Fortin 1946 and INC non-violent followers including Nehru  fought and ensuredfor their unconditional release, but there are continued harassment of INAmembers for support in rehabilitation, in getting pension, in gettingrecognition and in getting admitted into armed forces of free India – why thisdiscrimination and apathy against INA soldiers ?  

10. , While a groupof Netaji truth seekers including Anuj Dhar, ex-journalist of reputed newsmedia filed a request to CIC under RTI and wanted to bring all classified filesand records related to Netaji  be declassified and brought to theknowledge of people of this country, why GoI refused to deliver on the pretextthat disclosure would lead to riots in some states – an utter lie. When wouldthe GoI come out clean on classified documents?

We , the truth seekers would waitfor ages  till we reach to the black  hole that sucking  thelight off all facts and figures and events related to one of the untaintedpurest of the pure soul Indians are proud of - the patriot of patriot, asGandhiji called him and Deshnayak  as Tagore gave him the ornamentaltitle.  

Some may ask, what the hake of it,to do spends people's many to just find a dead corpse's expiry date. The otherday I found a sad image hosted by a careerist professional - the images ofNetaji, Bhagat Singh, Shivaji, Rana Pratap, Kirti Azad;

and asking his friends Who are they?

Another Indian pro gave a painfullylewd comment - all wud luv Shivaji be born in neighbour's home.

The third fb friend joined - mychildren wud know only about SRK, Katrina, Karena or Salman!

This above live discussion is justindicative of the decay and rot set into the educated class of  Indiansociety. They have become greedy, hedonist and expert in palm greasing.Sacrifice for nation is a foreign word of unknown variety.The political andsocial agents who governed for sixty five years and shaped the society cannotnow shirk responsibility by pointing fingers at other short lived governments.But my worry is, a country who teaches its children wrong history and fail tohonour its freedom fighter getting the rightful place in history, is going todoom. A nation that do not honour its heroes dies.That is inevitable unless thepeople make a course correction through ballot.Indian people'sdilemma  is to remove a thief and replace with a superior and morecruel and more religiously fanatic thief? But let the alarm bells ring!!Jai Hind!

Quest Series on Netaji's Mysterious Disappearence - Part I

Dichotomy of Netaji's classified archives and India celebrating 63 years of independence with Nehru's grand daughter-in-law holding the reigns of governance

Till the other day I was a selffish career minded office goer working in the typical babu style of snail sailing in the office garden. My life was more like a snail in a shell – frightened but secured in the protected shell.


Too much peace is not good for people as it makes people lazy. It made me one of the laziest on earth moving like a dinosour age Kolkata Tram on a slow rhythm on Ahmedabad road romanticising Kolkata and believing in the Indian indepence history as we read in our schools. But that day 2 weeks back, when the world was on a tail spin due to wikileak of American classified documents opening a cane of worms in public domain and the Anti-Osama Allied forces turned red faced, but people of the global village came to know what is the ground realities and what is a stage managed show by Anti-terror Allied forces. It exposed the hypocrisy of the American Govt vis-a-vis India and Indian interests. Next few days paper came out with details of what Headley said about Pakistan’s ISI hobnobing with Taliban and targeting American and Indian interest amongst others.

We came to know the big divider between what nations’s collective knowledge and what it should share with its citizens but keep restrains on account of various clash of multi-faceted interest. But wikileak was a American leak of classified documents.

In the meanwhile I was wondering what is the state of Indian classified archives. When I searched Google with Classified on Indian websites, taht became a day of reckoning for me as I discovered, I the lazy Indian, I the selfish Indian, I the frightened Indioan, that while Indian middle class has put the curtains around their life avenues with many Dos and many Don’ts, many a Indians are trying their best to make India what we see in the dream that it should be – like a India where all the basic rights of constitution and directive principles are followed, people of all strata are free from the wrath of caste, creed, religion and regionalism. There are high rates of literacy uniformly spread across the length and breath of independent India. There be 2- meals for all and opportunities for studies for all. The places of business are not filled with business sharks and mafia raj do not rot the nook and corner of our society. But that dream, a broken dream was shattered into pieces that day when I stole office time to get more and more into the depth of apathy shown consistently over a period of 63 years to the Forgotten Hero and the brightest star of Indian freedom struggle.

I felt all the political roads of Bengal filthy. As much filth there as it were in the nook and corner of central ministries and of the ruling political force who has given such a unified effort to scuttle the discovery of truth relating to Indian freedom’s apple of the eye Netaji – truth around Taiwan air crash and after math and where the life breathed its last breathe singing and dreaming about INDIA and INDIA only – a different India than where we live a coerced life and , I searched nook and corner of world wide web and collected hundreds of new found truths, revelations, many a inconsistencies in various statements and fact finding reports including two Govt appointed and one court directed appointment of Enquiry Committee.

In the comfort of air conditioned affluent life of central ministries with sycophants and bickering media and surrounded by gun- welding Black Cats , have we ever thought what this son of the soil’s life tried to do and almost accomplished in a scale of grandeur even Gandhijis and Nehrus could only aspire of, we cannot dream of the great sacrifice that this son of soil did with fire in his eyes and with fervour of nation’s love in heart – walking fearlessly upon the blood strained roads of WW2 from one continent to the other, above the ground and under the sea, in the hottest terrain and the coldest forests, running for cover in the broad day light and running in the darkest hour of the night – british dogs sniffing for the slightest smell of Subhash and death would come on any odd hour of life.

But Subhas showed in every turn of his eventful interactions from college compound to last pronounced fake air crash that he remained the last unconquered bastion of Indian territory floating the firsts - first Indian Legion, first provincial Govt of India, the first Indian head of Provincial govt, the first Indian national flag hoisted in Kohima and Moirang, the first Indian currency ….Had the front line few leaders of Congress back home were more liberal than being influenced by aroma of Mr. And Mrs Mountbaten and had Gandhiji been more realistic and became a truly secular leader than a Hindu religious follower abiding with the dream of Ram rajya and had Gandhiji reduced his admiration for everything that was British including pretending to be a messiah of non-violence in organishing Indians to join British militarty to join the world war I , and the dichotomy of Gandhiji being pretending to be democratic while playing tricks from the background to create road blocks for democratically elected INC president Netaji from assuming presidentship for the second term.

There are many ifs and buts…..Now world global village of information knows despite the Congress’s Herculean concerted effort under the invisible direction of a family that assumed royalty within democracy, that IF Netaji was allowed to continue as Presedent of Congress, the forces that would rule for independence would be a different force and a different breed than the one we are witnessing in the last 63 years.

And it would be foolish to ignore Jinnah’s statement that had Subhash been at the helm of Congress, Jinhah would not go for Pakisthan and in the process the South asia would not have faced the tragic loss of many a unaccounted millions of life and many a million destruction of dreams. At this critical time in history what we witnessed was Gandhiji’s selective fasting to control Hindu rioters while on a not a single instance going for a fast to disuade Muslim rioters as history of nation shows that he was not that giant stalwarth to command unflenching trust of majority of Muslims or even the Muslim leaders like Jinnah who became the “father” of another section of Indian population in the western front and in a part of eastern front of erstwhile India.

A nations chart its own destiny that always is unique. The people who collectively take reigns of the nation make the nation as we want it to be. One fact is clear in the whole saga of Subhas mystery that those who cannot honour their freedom fighters and their nation builders, cannot be of no good to the society. When the rulers negate the great sacrifices, and feel that they will rule the nation by reigning on the media and by acting as a conduit for a minority of large capital owners, then I can assure that either they change their policy or people make change in the ruling power to be.

If the Central Ministry has at all self respect then they should come out and declassify the reports demanded by various trough finding groups whether through the RTI process or otherwise. While Nietaji’s truth are slowly showing the light of the day through the private efforts of a few Indians who are filing application under RTI in India as well as in the USA and as the private zeal to collect info and evidence take momentum and people are re-looking at the Congress and the pitiable dirty game plan played in broad day light, time has come when Congress must come clean by letting the truth be out or people will try to look for a change in ruling that promises to declassify all Netaji related classified records and that assure to be truly proactive in bringing to lights from the archives of Russia, Britain, USA, Japan, German and other countries and let Subhas the greatest son of Mother India rest in peace with fullest national honour bestowed the GoI’s official machinery.

While commemorating 64th day of Independence let us take wath that we, the people of India be vigilant that rulers of the nation do not take the people of India for a ride with their 63 years oiled infested machinery of governance. Transpareency and equitability be the only two words by which each one judge the others.



My sincere acknowledgements to various private initiatives who stood firm against all odds and a apathetic central govt and been able to shed new lights into the tragic mystery of our greatest national hero.



I as an Indian and as a noble duty to the greatest and sweetest Indian soul ever born here, I have made a compilation of all the facts, rare pictures, videos, group websites, solo websites, newspaper investigations, individual investigations, including images of the rare flag and currency of INA .



On this 64th day of independence I wish to dedicate these info for study and review by my countrymen with a prayer that the evil axis within India blocking the truth about Netaji to reach the masses get defeated soon. Let our country be flowered with thousands of truthful fiercest patriots like Subhas Chandra Bose.
