India to begin Republic Day celebrations from Subhas Chandra Bose birth anniversary on January 23: Reports

The Russian government has no information on the whereabouts of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/on-netaji-subhash-chandra-boses-122nd-birth-anniversary-pm-modi-inaugurates-museum-at-red-fort-192216">Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose</a>. India since 2014 had requested Moscow many times seeking information on the nationalist leader.

In a statement in the Parliament, minister of state in the ministry of external affairs V Muraleedharan said, "Russian government has conveyed that they were unable to find any documents in the Russian archives pertaining to Netaji and even after additional investigations made based on a request from the Indian side, they could not find any documents giving more information on the subject."

New Delhi sought to know if Netaji was in Russia anytime before or after August 1945 or whether Netaji escaped to Russia in August 1945.&nbsp;

After his fallout with Congress and jail by British authorities for the campaign of civil disobedience, Bose left in the country in 1941 to seek the support of Nazi Germany to overthrow the British regime in India.&nbsp;

During this period, he also made a stopover in Soviet Russia and hoped for support to which he received lukewarm support. Reports also suggest that after the fall of Japan in World War-II, he had again hoped to get Russian support.

Subhas Chandra Bose's played a key role in the revival of Indian National Army(INA) and his slogans "give me blood and I will give you freedom" and "Dilli Chalo" are still popular and part of his legacy.

PM Modi inaugurates Subhas Chandra Bose Museum at Red Fort

After a Paris-based historian claimed that freedom fighter Subhas Chandra Bose did not die in the air crash of August 18, 1945, Netaji&#39;s grand nephew Chandra K Bose has asked the Centre as to what is preventing them from forming a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to solve &quot;India`s biggest cover-up&quot;.

&quot;The French report clearly indicates and there are many other evidences that clearly indicate that Subhash Chandra Bose did not die in the Air crash. So, what is preventing the present Central government to form a Special Investigating Team? We have been demanding this since January 2016,&quot; Chandra K Bose told ANI.

Appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government for declassifying Netaji&#39;s files, he said, &quot;We must give credit to Narendra Modi government for declassifying all files starting 23 January 2016.......But the need of an hour is to form SIT who would take up the assignment from Justice Mukherjee left....the government of India has to take a holistic approach otherwise we cannot solve India`s biggest cover-up, the disappearance of Netaji.&quot;

&quot;This is a very critical report that the French authorities have revealed which again proves that there was no air crash in Taihoku on the 18th of August 1945. Now we don&#39;t have to really go to France to find out the truth about the liberator of India. The Justice Mukherjee commission, in 2006 had clearly stated based on their research and finding that Subhas Chandra Bose did not perish in any air crash,&quot; he added.

Bose also questioned the Central government as to why are they are not accepting the findings of Justice Mukherjee commission report.

&quot;The Congress party, the UPA government in 2006 rejected the findings of the Justice Mukherjee commission due to political reasons because they were not able to accept the truth about Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. But the NDA government has no such restriction. So, why the NDA government is not placing the Justice Mukherjee commission report in both houses of Parliament, the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha for a thorough discussion,&quot; he said.

The Paris-based historian J B P More, who recently stumbled upon a brief French secret service report dated December 11, 1947 at the National Archives of France, has come up with a finding that Bose didn&#39;t die in an air crash and was still alive in 1947.

The gist of the matter for the French secret service, according to More, is that Bose did not die in the air crash on August 18, 1945, as commonly held.

&quot;But he escaped from Indochina alive and his whereabouts were unknown as late as December 11, 1947,&quot; reports the secret document.

Last year, both India and Japan declassified files relating to the leader whose disappearance 70 years ago still remains a mystery, with historians and family members challenging the official version citing lack of proof.

Even before Independence, the Figgess Report in 1946 concluded that Netaji died in a plane crash in Taipei on August 18, 1945.
