Bring Netaji’s Mortal Remains From Japan To India: Grandnephew’s Appeal To PM Modi

New Delhi: Chandra Kumar Bose has appealed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to bring back Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s mortal remains from Renkoji temple in Japan to India.

In a letter to Modi on Saturday, Netaji’s grandnephew said, “On the eve of August 18, the death anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, I once again appeal to you to bring Netaji’s remains from Renkoji to India.”

Chandra said Netaji has become a legend, reported PTI.

“His magnetic personality, brilliance of mind, extraordinary courage, selflessness and unwavering dedication to the cause of India’s freedom have made him forever a hero in the hearts and minds of not only men and women in India, but of freedom-loving people everywhere,” Chandra wrote.

He said that the circumstances of Netaji’s death in an air crash while leaving Taiwan in a Japanese military aircraft in the aftermath of Japan’s surrender in August 1945 was seen by many as just another ruse to escape his enemies.

“Close family members including beloved brother Sarat Chandra Bose under British detention in south India and widow Emilie in Vienna, continued to yearn for Subhas’s return, but neither at any time had any definite knowledge of Subhas being alive after 18 August 1945,” Chandra claimed.

Chandra has asked for Netaji’s mortal remains to be brought back to India previously also.

He even made a similar appeal to Japanese PM Fumio Kishida when he was visiting India in March 2022.

“It is time that the Government of India, under your able leadership has taken the initiative to declassify Netaji-related files to come to a closure. After the release of all the files (10 enquiries – national and international), it is evident that Netaji perished on August 18, 1945. It is, therefore, imperative that a final statement is made from the Government of India so that false narratives about the Liberator of India is laid to rest,” Chandra wrote to Modi.

“Efforts must be made now to bring the mortal remains of an immortal Hero to his home country India, the land he liberated,” he concluded.
