Did Subhas Bose Die in 1945 ? * 73

Subhas Chandra Nose was one of the towering figures of the Indian freedom movement. One can fault him for his methods, but not his zeal for an independent India. Bose led the opposition to that maverick Gandhi and followed a different line. He is supposed to have died in an air crash in Formosa in 1845.

The question that arises  is that there is some evidence to show that Bose may have faked the air crash to escape from the clutches of the Allies as he was a war criminal and the Indian leadership led by Gandhi had agreed to hand over Bose to the British  for  a trial as a war criminal. In such a scenario Bose may have escaped to China and then to Russia.

Thr real facts are that Nehru was petrified that Bose may come back. One wonders whether he really believed that Bose had died. Probably not and there may be evidence that he knew more and had some dirty linen to hide. But again I will say that nothing sustainable has emerged about Bose. the recent de classified files in Bengal throw no light on this great mystery of the death of Bose. One can make no definite deductions.

The real mystery must be unravelled for the Indian people and the sordid hand of Nehru if true must be exposed.
