64 files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's death to be declassified next week

[Sai Jai]

The West Bengal government headed
by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee will
declassify 64 files related to the death
of legendary freedom fighter, Netaji
Subhas Chandra Bose, next Friday.
70 years after his mysterious
disappearance, Netaji's story is an
enigma that continues to haunt the
popular imagination in India. Did he die
of third-degree burns on August 18,
1945, after his plane crashed in
Formosa (now Taiwan) or did he
survive and escape to Siberia? Or was
the "crash" a mere hoax to help him
flee to safety? Read: Netaji files reveal

The questions have been haunting,
agitating and engaging Indians, in
particular Bengalis, for 70 years, but
the mystery endures. A section of
Netaji's descendants, including his
daughter Anita Pfaff, as also some

Indian National Army (INA) veterans,
hold that the revolutionary leader
perished in the accident and his ashes
have been interred at Tokyo's Renkoji
temple.
But a large number of Netaji's
admirers, researchers and family
members don't buy the theory.

Japanese heavy bomber Netaji boarded
at Saigon with his close aide Col.
Habibur Rahman on August 17, 1945,
purportedly to shift base to the
erstwhile Soviet Union and continue
his fight for India's independence,
crashed in Japanese-occupied Formosa.
"It would be the perfect homecoming
for him if the ashes are brought to
India. His ashes should be immersed in
the river Ganges" Anita pfaff
