The Mystery Behind Death Of Bose

Give me blood and I shall give you freedom.

One of the ever-enduring political mysteries is the unfortunate disappearance and death of Subhash Chandra Bose, one of the greatest freedom fighters of India. Bose was one of the most celebrated freedom fighters of India. He was a charismatic influencer of the youth, established and led the Indian National Army (INA) and earned the epithet ‘Netaji’ .

During India’s struggle for independence, he was also the part of young radical wing of the Indian National Congress, but later on, was ousted from the party due ideological differences.He sought assistance from Nazi leadership in Germany and Imperial forces in Japan during the World War II, to aid the end of British rule in India. But his sudden disappearance, led to a bombardment of various theories, some even considering the possibilities of his survival.

THEORIES ON NETAJI'S DEATH

1) THEORY 1

The freedom fighter died on August 18, 1945, after his overloaded plane crashed in Japanese-ruled Formosa (now Taiwan). Netaji in his fuel soaked clothes had suffered Third Degree Burns. He was brought to the hospital, but he slipped into coma. And later it was reported that he died, succumbing to the fatal burns.

2) THEORY 2

It has also been claimed by many, that Netaji was given a safe passage to the Soviet Union (Russia). And that he DID NOT die after the plane crash, as the Japanese claim. It is said that after he moved there, the British somehow got to know about his stay, and later the British conspired against him.

And he was tortured to death.

3) THEORY 3

It has also been argued that Bose returned to India, and owing to "Political pressures", he remained in hiding. Bose allegedly became a Sadhu; a saint. He practised herbal medicine and developed cures for tuberculosis and that he established the Shaulmari Ashram in 1959 taking the religious alias Srimat Saradanandaji.
However the real sadhu of Shaulmari always denied that he was Netaji till he died in 1977.

LEGENDS That Continue To Loom...

According to Historian Joyce Chapman, "Stories persist that Netaji had become a sanyasi and has been seen in the Naga hill country of Assam; that he was a member of a Mongolian trade delegation in Peking; that he lives in Russia; that he is in the Chinese Army. … Pictures have been produced to prove that Netaji is still alive."
