Netaji’s grandnephew Chandra Kumar Bose has been vocal about the demands. In his chat with Ashok Chatterjee, he says that in today’s society, following Netaji’s ideals of religious integrity (sarva dharma samanvaya) would be paying the best respect to the great leader.
The forward march of Netaji’s liberation army unnerved and unsettled the British rulers in India decisively.
Before discovering the anthem Abid Hasan translated, let it be known that the setting could not have been more dramatic and historic. In 1943, Netaji and Hasan were on the German submarine that was stealthily making its way to East Asia from the shores of Germany. In the confines of the submarine, which Hasan described as ‘smelling of diesel oil’, the waves of creativity took over and the composition in Hindi of ‘Jana Gana Mana’was born.
Netaji also suffered imprisonment for fearlessly voicing his opinion in the editorial entitled “Day of Reckoning” through the columns of Forward Bloc.
The lone struggle he conducted from 1941 to August 1945, has been described as ‘an era of miracles’ by Pattabhi Sitaramayya in his book, History of the Indian National Congress. The miracles continued. From 6 May 1943, the day Bose landed in SE Asia, he worked as a man possessed. He restructured the Indian National Army and within a few months of his arrival set up the Provisional Government of Azad Hind on 21 October 1943.
In 1946, Harin Shah was at Nanking, the headquarter of the KMT regime in China, heading the Free Press of India News Service launched by S Sadanand. From there, he flew to Taipei via Shanghai along with a battery of foreign correspondents and arrived on 30 August 1946. As unravelling the mystery of Netaji's disappearance was his main objective, he talked to a cross section of people about this immediately after his arrival in Formosa
The Prime Minister further announced that till the grand statue of Netaji was completed a hologram statue of Netaji Bose would be present at the same place.
Subhas Chandra Bose was the lone crusader against the mainstream. His was a relentless anti-colonial struggle that aimed at socialist reconstruction after Independence. The socialism he envisaged was to be rooted in Indian soil. He never wanted to imitate Bolshevik experiments.
