DEATH OF NETAJI SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE
IN ISOLATION AT DEHRA DUN
SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE
This is a true story to unravel the mystery on the death of Neta ji SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE by an eye witness describing the facts by giving certain important evidences. Rest is on the readers to their utmost satisfaction but every word proves its truth-fullness itself. Thousands of people have witnessed the death of the martyr but writer discloses many other proves to his claim.
My name is AJMER SINGH RANDHAWA and I am a SIKH by religion, I belong to Dehra Dun which is now the capitol of Uttrakhand, earlier it was a small, calm and quite place, known as DOON valley, is situated in Shivalik hills, Before partition of INDIA, it was a hilly terrain of UNITED PROVINCE, The name UP became Uttar- Pradesh in independent INDIA. This UP province is again divided and Dehra-Dun is the capital of UTTRAKHAND. I am born and grown up in this valley. I got my education here and while doing my B.Sc. I started Taxi Cab business as I was very poor and I had to quit midway my studies after- wards to feed my family and to look upon my parents’, and started operating in between Mussoorie and Dehra Dun. Once I was coming down from the heights of Mussoorie to plains of Dehra Dun via Rajpur in April 1977, I encountered with a strange happen- ing in early morning at about 9.00 a.m., which changed my whole life.
I stopped at Rajpur to drop some passengers, suddenly I saw a police sub-inspector of that area, standing with two constables waiting for a lift, he was known to me and was my best friend. His name was SURENDRA SHARMA. He was really a smart & young police officer. I called him and asked if he was in any need. He replied me with a questioning look and asked which side I was going. On the contrary I replied that doesn’t he see that I am on the way to Dehra Dun. He humbly requested if I could adjust them and drop them at 105, Rajpur Road as he was in a hurry to reach at that place, I nodded and adjusted him on my front seat along with his two constables. It was hardly one or one and a half km. distance but he was out of his senses and disturbed. I asked him the reason of his outstanding behavior he groaned and replied that a V I P, is passed away at that place and he is going to enquire about that VIP and also replied in an anger and used policeman’s abusive language that he had just received a wireless message from the than GOVERNER of UP., that a VIP was passed away at that address and he should deploy escort in that house for the safety and to avoid any sort of inconvenience so he is going to visit there and to know more about the dead person.
I got very curious to know because it was a small place and death of any VIP in isolation woke the sense of curiosity in me, I too joined him. This property belongs to His Highness of Maharaja of Patiala state of Punjab. I stopped the car at roadside and went inside the kothi (banglow).
I entered into the premises of that house, there was a guest house on the left side, On the right side was grass lawn. The appearance was very beautiful, a complete silence could be seen. After passing about 70 or 80 feets, there was a hut ( small temp- rary makeshift ),The single door entry was from the rear side, We stopped outside and enquired from the attendants the identity of the deceased person passed away, listening the answer I rushed inside the hut , stepped inside and on seeing the dead body I was just stunned as there was no blood left in my body, there was laying the body of a saint (saadhu) covered under ice to preserve for few days. Oh, I knew him, I used to take him to different locations during the last 4-5 years, I had taken him to several places in my taxi- cab. I never-never had ever thought about his personality, He was such a great person, every Indian had a regard for his struggle for independence, He fought a war with British army by the help of Japan to free India. And here he was laying silent in front of me, in complete isolation, Neither any govt. official nor any other person except 2-3 attendants of him were present there who confirmed his identity.
At that time every moment passed with that great saint, the said (Subhash Chandra Bose) during his life time flashed in my mind, I remembered every moment how he managed the trick to hide his identity . I shall try to explain the steps he used to take . I always found him silent; He never used to speak even to me when he was traveling nor with his co-passengers accompanying him. Only once I came to know that swami ji ( the saint ) was about to speak with his people, I was also considered one amongst them as I was very familiar with them. The saint or swami ji knew my name also as I used to visit him quite often. So I was called in-side . The room was completely empty, no furniture or bed , except one chair in the middle of the room. I sat on the ground. I was just alone in that room. Than after a few minutes swami ji entered into the room and got seated on the chair. I bowed before him and touched his feet for blessing. He raised his hand to bless and placed on my head. It was a great moment now I realize, He was the man to whom all the Indians were dreaming to appear one day, and I was being blessed by him. He asked a few questions about me and my family. He spent about 10-15 minutes with me and than he went back. He was having a charming personality and in his good health, with white open long beard, long- white hairs spread on his shoulders, height was about 5’8”, Simple, attractive and smiling face with a glow on his forehead I still remember. I feel proud now as I am among a very few persons who are inspired and blessed by Suhash ji in independent India.
At least, My next generations will feel proud upon me and tell this story to others also. I got- inspired in the true sense to tell this truth to the world without any fear of the Indian govt., and I am ready to face the worst also. I know that by disclosing this fact , I may put behind the bars or face other difficulties but for the sake of the truth, I should be ready to face any such eventuality.
I remember every time when my services were required, his attendant used to call me (the attendant had to come in search of taxi cab, at taxi- stand) after the cab was hired, I was taken to the place of the saint, there that attendant brought a half- filled- bucket of water with cut-pieces of lemons dipped in that bucket. He did the lemon wash every time the rear portion of my car, than rubbed the seat covers, door mattresses, the roof with those water dipped lemons. I used to laugh on all this acts of him though on request he did clean whole roof instead of the rear portion only. The reason wasn’t to hygiene but some thing else, which shall be disclosed later.
Than he used to bring some white mattresses to lay upon the rear seat cover, rear seat of driver, rear door mattresses etc. Whole rear portion of the car was covered with white mattresses. After the task was complete, the saint paid the visit, he always kept an orange color, yellowish-orange colored cloth to cover his arms and hands. Than he got in and I be given the directions to the desired place of destination. After spending their time, I was taken aback with them. I was allured by paying me twice or thrice the actual amount (my fair). Thus I never bothered to know about that saint. I never tried because in the nearby holy place Haridwar, there were many rich saints whose wealth is in millions, still there are such saints. So I was allured with more money which covered my eyes with the curtain of money. I ignored every thing.
Why was he doing all this? What was the reason of washing and covering the seat covers? And even being washed with cut pieces of lemons? The answers of these entire questions flashed all of sudden at once. Oh ! my god, he used to hide his finger prints. Being a science student in my life I could not understand it. How stupid I was? The acids in lemon reacts with the chemical used for taking finger prints.
Anyway I come to the main story, This saint took a Samadhi ( a tradition of Indian saints in deep meditating sitting position with crossed legs) continuously meditating for 110days, but on 93rdday, a blood spot was seen on the back side of his neck. In this deep meditating- position the body is never touched, thus a disciple of MAA AANANDMAYI was called from nearby Ashram, ( the holy place where saints reside and meditate) of MAA- ANANDMAI (mother). The name of the called meditator was SHIV BALYOGI. He meditated and declared the said demise of SWAMI SHARDANAND ( Subhash Chandra bose or netaji ) , to the heavenly abode, than this news might be forwarded to the Prime- Minister or The President of India, from there it was sent to the Governor of UP for necessary arrangements. It was the Governor’s office which flashed the wireless message to the police officer, in-charge of the concerned area i.e. Rajpur Police Station. DEHRADUN of UP. I was the only person who knew the fact of this wireless- message other than the police -officials and I was the only first person to reach on the spot with police, so nothing could be hidden from me because the administration had not stepped in till than. Even I entered into the hut before police personals. Thus I became the eye- witness.
Whereas I understand out of Subhash’s 2-3 attendants, there must be someone from the Indian intelligence, as he was under constant vigil. I have also come to know that his secretary named Ramni Ranjan Das, was working for intelligence. Tough he was in isolation but he was certainly getting some money from some unknown sources to meet his expenses or the daily needs. Otherwise how could he survive and keep the attendants? His expenses were certainly covered by govt. of India or by some highly influential people. The govt. was aware of Subhash, and his activities.
Now as per the administrative orders, the body of the holy deceased saint was kept for 10 days at the same place for to pay the last homage’s to the departed soul. During these10 days I almost used to visit every day to know more. As the police officer was my best friend, I wasn’t stopped to move around by anybody because I was known by every body. During those days I met many distinguished visitors in which I met the most publicly known person Mr.UTTAM CHAND MALHOTRA, I met him many times and heard him personally. He was the person with whom Mr. Subhash stayed for 47 days in KABUL, as a room mate when he was trying to escape from India. Mr. Malhotra provided all sort of help needed to escape to Berlin and to Subhash, from the British intelligence. So he was pursuing that this deceased saint is no other than Subhash Chandra Bose, ( COMMANDING-IN-CHIEF OF INDIAN NATIONAL ARMY ). The great Indian revolutioner, and that with whom he had shared a room in hide in KABUL, continuously for 47 days, doesn’t he recognizes him, but his voice was never heard. He was telling this truth since 1961. Now, Mr. Uttam chand malhotra is no more. He was a great patriot. Had he not helped Subhash or had informed British intelligence, India history would have been completely changed. So I am thankful to him.
There I also met with a niece of Subhash and her younger son. This gentleman was a little over-weight, you can call him good- healthy person. If they had not come there from such a distance to pay their last homage to the departed soul of their nearer &dearer one, what else had compelled them to travel so long unnecessarily required. That is also from thousands of miles away. That’s the question arises on their visit. Though after such a long time I have forgot the name of the lady and her son but this is the truth I am disclosing before the curious readers. I am just prevailing the truth and trying to bring the facts before readers to justify.
In 1964, there used to be a weekly news paper “BLITZ”. published from BOMBAY. Our first Prime Minister Mr. JAWAHAR LAL was expired on 27th may . In it’s weekly edition it published the photograph of a saint beside the dead body of our honorable P.M. with a question mark and the title “ Who is this man?” clearly identicle to Mr. Subhash. What more proof do the people need? SUBHASH WAS ALIVE.
During my studies, we were taught that Subhash Chandra Bose was wanted by the allied forces and govt.’s of UK and USA are searching for him and he is wanted by these countries on charges of provoking war against them and he is to be produced before Nuremburg –Court in Germany. Still most of the Indians believe in it. This is a humor as one my friend, Mr. O.P.SHARMA. ( a Retired police officer ), the chairman of “MISSION NETA JI” in Uttrakhand had sent a letter to USA and got confirmed that no Indian is required or wanted by USA or UK on charges of provoking war.” He has that letter. We Indians were kept in dark by our own govt. Mr. Sharma is having a hand written letter in Bangla language written by Swami ji , which can be sent to any hand writing expert to match with any other hand written script of Subhash for verification whether the hand writing is same and written by one person only . This is a great proof, no more proof is required to establish the fact.
I was also told by Mr, O.P.SHARMA that before coming to Dehra Dun Swami ji were living in west Bengal in an Ashram(where saints live),once his nephew, named Mr. Dwijan Bose came to that ashram to confirm if swami ji , is Subhash. There he was served eggs in - breakfast which he liked most. How could swami ji come to know this? Subhash ji knew it because Dwijan was his nephew and he knew his food habits. This incident also proves that Swami ji and Subhash ji were not two different persons but he was only Subhash having two names.
I am quite often asked if Subhash was alive, why did he not came in front or dis- closed himself.To find out the answer of this related question I had to study many books, opened many web sites, collected evidences to prove that Subhash ji did not die in plain crash but he was seen afterwards also. I am giving two evidences before I prove that the SAINT expired at Dehra dun WAS SUBHASH. How could Subhash come in public when he was prisoned. The govt. of India has adopted a policy of British intelligence that Leave Subhash where he is, don’t take his name, forget him and mind your business. Thus India govt. is always silent on Subhash.
The dark period of Subhash was since 1945 to 1960, Subhash was in captivity in Yarktusk jail of Syberia. This was disclosed by Swetlana, daughter of Joseph Stalin who seeked asylum in India. She was considered enemy of Soviet union, that’s why she came India and seek asylum. She even disclosed the room no. of the cell. It is said Subhash was jailed in syberia because of Nehru who wanted to keep him (Subhash)away from India as subhash was a hurdle on his way of becoming Prime-minister. The Muslim were not with the congress but they had a good hope with Subhash. Had India being ruled by Subhash, There would have been no division. India could remain United India.
It is said that Nehru got upset on hearing this and he wrote a letter to PM of England and requested to take necessary action against Russia as he considered it breach of treaty. The contents of the letter were, Nehru got to know from a reliable source that Mr. Bose, their war criminal had been allowed to enter Russian territory by Joseph -Stalin. This was a clear treachery and betrayal of faith by the Russians. As Russia had been an ally of the British-Americans, it should not had been done. And they please take notice of it and do what they consider proper and fit.
For the people of India, who are searching the period since 1945, and the incidents afterwards. I am going to disclose this fact that former Indian ambassador Dr. Satya- narayan sinha, once met Guha, ( the son of Abani mukarjee ), the founder of communist party of India, who told him that his father and Neta ji were prisoners in adjacent cells in Syberia. He also told Sinha that Neta ji had assumed the name ‘KHILSAI- MALANG.’ There. (Abani mukarjee) was the companion of Virendra nath chattopadhyay, who is the brother of (Sarojini naidu). Dr. Sinha came back to India and reported this fresh news to Nehru, but to his great surprise and frustration, Sinha was unexpectedly scolded by Nehru and ever since, the relationship between the two deteriorated. Sinha has written this down in his book. He has even described this incident before the Khosla commission. For more details ,Please see page 318 of ‘NETA JI DEAD OR ALIVE’ by Samar Guha.
Of course, if Bose had been making his way to Manchuria and then Russia on Aug 18, he could not have been unaware that Moscow now stood with the British-American allies against Japan. But that has not stopped rumours of the Indians being spotted in the Soviet Union over the past half centuary.
According to India's Outlook magazine, scholars from Calcutta's Asiatic Society researching India-Soviet ties in Moscow came across recently declassified Soviet files 'that hinted at Bose having been in the USSR after 1945'. One of the scholars, Dr. Purobi Roy, was quoted as saying Soviet military archives mentioned Stalin and foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov discussing in 1946 whether Bose should stay in the Soviet Union or leave.
The body, now after 10 days was escorted by a convoy of three trucks of police armed constabulary soldiers, beside many other govt. and private vehicles and taken to Rishikesh, about 43 km. from Dehra Dun at the bank of holy river GANGA (GANGES) for funeral. His pyre was set at a pious place. By giving 21 Guns salutes with gunshots and turning the rifles of policemen’s downwards. The pyre was lit in flames. This tradition of gun salute is given only to the personals of armed forces or the distinguished dignitaries, not to the civilians. If a saint had died in isolation , why was this practice performed specially in this case if the deceased was only a saint. Many other saints have died since indipendense, How many of them have been given this special tribute. All this clearly indicates that the deceased person was certainly Mr. SUBHASH CHANDRA BOSE. (Not any ordinary person). The deceased was not a saint but a high-ranked army officer. Govt. itself accepted it. That’s why the full guard of honor was given. No confusion was left.
There is a tradition not only in India, but throughout the world that the funeral and the last rites are performed by the family members only until the deceased is a distingui- shed person or a VVIP. In this case, Officially he was not any such personality or having any high post in any office of repute. The deceased was simply an ordinary person died in isolation. Than why the govt. agencies took control of the funeral in it’s hands like they do at the death of any VVIP.
I tried many times to unravel the truth but could not get any success. After the death of Subhash ( in Hindu religion, when any person becomes SANYASI, He gives up the materialistic world and is known by a new name blessed by his guru or master), Swami Shardanand was his name now, I used to narrate this story to my passengers that my city has the honor that such grate personalities have lived there. I never tried beyond that but in 1992, I went to Statesman office in Delhi , I narrated whole story but they ignored. Again I tried to contact Mr. Rajat Sharma the famous TV anchor, but his PA just ignored in 2006.Than I became silent as no one was giving an ear. Now in 2008, for the last 4-5 months we are trying to approach Swami RAMDEV , but with no success. Swami RAMDEV is capable to pursue the govt. and to disclose this in large gatherings. I am sorry to say no interest is shown by him. Sooner or later he is going to join politics. So, he is having his own interests.
When Mukharji commission’s report had been tabled in Parliament, , I got upset as it was an attempt to misguide public and was away from the truth , than some how I approached Mr. Devendra Bhasin, presently Media advisor to Uttrakhand govt. who was the spokes person of “Mission Netaji” I narrated the whole story to him, he assured me to highlight it. He asked if I had any photo. I felt sorry and told him that when I visited first time I had no camera, and afterwards the police had stopped shooting any photos, rather than only police- photographer Mr. Jogi (official photographer). He is still having but refused to provide without permission of DIG of police. By the efforts of Mr. Bhasin, I came in contact with’ Mission Netaji’, which was trying to establish facts to unravel the mystery of the death of Subhash and also trying to prove that Swami Shardanand and Subhash Bose were not two different persons but Subhash ji is known as swami ji. After meeting me, they are sure now and with our joint efforts, We have only one mission to build a grate world famous memorial at that place where Subhash breathed his last. That’s the goal and mission of our life. We are completely dedicated to this mission whether Govt, helps us or not. We are even ready to build the great memorial with the help of our brothers( the Indian public). Only we want that the same LAND be provided to us. Since 2006, I joined this mission. We are all working under the superb guidance of Mr. O. P. SHARMA (chairman).
Apart from revisionist historians, it was none other than Lord Clement Atlee himself, the British Prime Minster responsible for conceding independence to India, who gave a shattering blow to the myth sought to be perpetuated by court historians, that Gandhi and his movement had led the country to freedom. Chief justice P.B. Chakrabarty of Calcutta High Court, who had also served as the acting Governor of West Bengal in India, disclosed the following in a letter addressed to the publisher of Dr. R.C. Majumdar's book A History of Bengal. The Chief Justice wrote:-----
You have fulfilled a noble task by persuading Dr. Majumdar to write this history of Bengal and publishing it ... In the preface of the book Dr. Majumdar has written that he could not accept the thesis that Indian independence was brought about solely, or predominantly by the non-violent civil disobedience movement of Gandhi. When I was the acting Governor, Lord Atlee, who had given us independence by withdrawing the British rule from India, spent two days in the Governor's palace at Calcutta during his tour of India. At that time I had a prolonged discussion with him regarding the real factors that had led the British to quit India. My direct question to him was that since Gandhi's "Quit India" movement had tapered off quite some time ago and in 1947 no such new compelling situation had arisen that would necessitate a hasty British departure, why did they have to leave? In his reply Atlee cited several reasons, the principal among them being the erosion of loyalty to the British Crown among the Indian army and navy personnel as a result of the military activities of Netaji. Toward the end of our discussion I asked Atlee what was the extent of Gandhi's influence upon the British decision to quit India. Hearing this question, Atlee's lips became twisted in a sarcastic smile as he slowly chewed out the word, "m-i-n-i-m-a-l!"[46
The British intelligence had confirmed information that Mr. Subhash did not meet with any air crash in 1945 and that he was alive. They could not locate him but had confirmed information of his being alive. Moreover now reports have confirmed that on that crucial day no flight took off. When no flight took off, how could there be any air crash ?.In a questionnaire sent by justice M K Mukarjee commission to several countries, the US Administration has said there was no aircrash in Taiwan on the day when Netaji was supposed to have been killed in a plain crash at Taipei’s Taihoku Airport , Bose’s nephew and forward bloc MP Subrata bose said so.

"We have seen that no non-violent struggle. conducted by Mahatma Gandhi in the course of the freedom struggle had achieved its objective. In 1921, the non-cooperation movement was withdrawn before it was started. In 1930 the Civil Disobedience Movement was withdrawn without achieving its limited objective. In 1932, the Civil Disobedience Movement was suspended at Gandhiji's instance and was never revived. In 1941 individual satyagraha for the right of freedom of speech ended in six months without achieving its aim. The 1942 countrywide struggle for freedom was never started by Gandhiji. |
