Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Feared Even in Captivity

by Santanu Banerjee

The book tells the reader how after Second World War, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, the tallest Indian freedom fighter, slowly petered out in captivity in former Soviet Union, while Kremlin, taking full military advantage of Bose's presence in their land created fear in American and British political and military strategists and among the post-Independence Indian politicians. The research has also been an outcome of British and Indian Government documents and long interviews with senior Indian political leaders. The book is extremely sensitive as the stakeholders are not only big global powers, but the unresolved issue involves the Indian Government which puts a lid on the mystery by sticking to the fake air crash story in 1945 in Taiwan. It is bound to stir up a lot of heat with scholars – especially among, the British, Indian and American, besides exposing the role of the Russians, Indian Communists and the Nehru family that still heads the Congress now.What began as a journey into the unknown, has culminated into this book, an attempt which has taken 32 long years for the author. The research also reveals Bose's socio-political ideology about which he spoke during his Tokyo University speech on the Indian Civilization and how India would have `socialism with a human face.' It also happens to be an issue so far neglected by scholars and historians.

The author here is an eminent journalist. Has put in his research on the fate of Netaji in this book.
Its good to see that many serious Netaji researchers are coming out with their view points regarding the fate of the supreme hero of India's Freedom movement.
However, this book is based mainly on the here-say and the author believes in the Russia death theory as the fate of Netaji, though it has no considerable proof of documents, mostly it is here say from India's communist leaders. The book also threads clear to the Bhagwanji, Faizabad angle which seems to be the most credible theory so far regarding Netaji's after life.

Alas, it is great that so many people are coming out and thrashing the plane crash theory which was the need of the hour. A nation like ours which has seen a continuity of civilizations like no other should wake up to its ultimate modern day truth that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was the chief architect which made the British leave India and the ultimate truth of his survival even after 1945.

The forgotten Hero is still revered by many and unlike the false God's we have created, Netaji still lives a hero's life within the imagination of many.

PS: The book has not been proof read to the highest capacity. Hope future editions come out with a cleaner edition.

Wanted so badly to get through this book, but the lack of editing is a big turn off. Lack of good punctuation and sentence structure is making an interesting subject not worth visiting.
