Almost we have believed in publicised truth about Neta ji's death in a plane crash in 1945.Government of India never paid any heed to make reports publicised related to one of the great leader.There may be some personal reasons of that time as well greedy political ambitions for the top post.
I have found a link where well reasearched article by Dr Deepak Basu provides important and confidential clues about Neta Ji's disappearnce and it seems to prove that Neta ji hadnt died in that plane crash. In This time of Indian era our generation has developed an acute problem of forgetting our national Heroes.Lets try to look in facts and wash the illusion about life of Neta ji's death.
This post might be boring to many because it is long but it is an important document. Put your views accordingly.

Mukherjee Commission did its job perfectly within the limits of the legal formalities and as a result the main question was not answered: what has happened to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose when he had embarked upon his journey from Bangkok on 14th or 15th August 1945.
The whole nation should be grateful to Anuj Dhar of Hindustan Times and Prof.Purabi Roy of Jadavpur University for compiling and discovering some information that may help us to imagine that fateful journey of Netaji. Dr.Hirendra Narayan Sarkar’s book , ’A Homage to Netaji: a Commentary on his life & Activities’ is also a helpful addition. The affidavit of Prof.Purabi Roy to the Mukherkjee Commission is in the website created by Anuj Dhar: www.hindustantime.com/news/specials/Netaji/purabi.htm.
Nehru and Netaji:
Although some politicians are trying to put the blame on Jawaharlal Nehru for not trying to uncover the mystery, Nehru was at best a helpless spectator not an actor in this matter.
When the Khosla commission was appointed in 1970, Shyamlal Jain from Meerut gave his statements to the commission. He was asked by Nehru to come to Asif Ali’s residence with the typewriter on 26/ 27 December 1945. He was given a letter to type; with a vague signature at its bottom. It had the following content:
“Netaji reached Dairen in Manjuria at 1:30 pm on 23rd August 1945, from Saigon by plane. The plane was a Japanese bomber. He had plenty of gold with him in bars and ornaments. After disembarking, he ate banana and drank tea. He and 4 others, one of them a Japanese officer Shidei; got into a jeep and went towards the Russian border. After about 3 hours, the jeep came back and gave the pilot instruction to fly back to Tokyo.”
Nehru asked Jain to type a letter to the then British prime minister Clements Attlee. The letter had the following content
Mr Clements Attlee
British Prime Minister
10 Downing Street, London
Dear Mr Attlee,
I understand from most reliable source that Subhash Chandra Bose, your war criminal, has been allowed to enter Russian territory by Stalin. This is a clear treachery and betrayal of faith by the russians as Russia has been an ally of the British- Americans, which she should not have done.
Please take care of it and do what you consider proper and fit.
Yours sincerely,
Jawaharlal Nehru
On August 23, 1945, the home member of the Indian government, Sir R.F.Mudie prepared a report (Ref: Top Secret Letter no. 57 dated 23 August 1945) as to how to handle Netaji. It was addressed to Sir E.Jenkins. The viceroy submitted this report to the English cabinet. ‘Russia may accept Bose under special circumstances. If that is the case, we shouldn’t demand him back’ was the cabinet’s decision on this. After considering this, the British prime minister Clements Attlee decided ‘Let him remain where he is now’. This decision was taken in October 1945. It clearly indicates that he was alive even in Oct 1945.
In 1946, Nehru met Mountbatten in Singapore. On no occasion after this meeting, Nehru has been reported of praising the INA. He had agreed to the demand from the Indians in Singapore to place wreath and flowers at Netaji’s martyr dome there, but withdrew quite dramatically on the 11th hour.
Hari Vishnu Kamath M.P. demanded a probe into Netaji's absconding in the parliament in 1952. Nehru didn’t agree to this at first! (Ref: Page 103, Annexure 21, Appendix I to Parliamentary Debates, Fifth Session 1952). When those who demanded the probe made amendments for a non-official commission under the great Dr Radhavinod Pal, who was one of the 11 Judges in the Tokyo trial of the Japanese War-time prime minister Tojo and his associates in 1948; all of a sudden, Nehru incepted the Shah Nawaz commission on 5th April 1956! What is most interesting was the commission was neither allowed to visit the place of accident nor did the government seek the permission of the Formosa government.
It is important to know that Shah Nawaz Khan, the commanding officer in the Kohima front had close contact with his brother, an officer in the British-Indian army in Kohima and has revealed the codes and the military plans of the Japanese and the Azad Hind Army. As a result Netaji removed him from that position and sent him to Burma. Shah Nawaz Khan became a Pakistani citizen but was invited by Nehru to be a minister in India and to investigate about Netaji, whom he betrayed during the Azad Hind Army’s campaign in Kohima.
Netaji’s journey from Bangkok to Manchuria:
In 1952, S.A.Aiyer, a senior government official and Nehru's friend, visited Tokyo, after which he handed over a personal note to Nehru. The letter as it is, is given below:
“This time I could gather a very important information. Col.Tada told me that after the end of the war when Japan surrendered, Terauchi took all responsibility to help Netaji and asked him (Tada) to go to Kaka Bose (His Excellency Bose) and tell him to reach Russian territory - all help will be given to him. It was arranged that Chandra Bose will fly in the plane in which Shidei was going. General Shidei will look after Chandra Bose upto Dairen, and thereafter, he could fall back on his own resources to contact Russians. Japanese would announce to the world that Bose had disappeared from Dairen. That would absolve them of all responsibility in the eyes of the Allies.”
Nehru didn’t inform this to the parliament despite controversies for a long time. He even didn’t hand over his own files on Netaji to the commission. (Ref: Prime Minister’s Special File)
This is the official death certificate of ‘Netaji’ issued by the Health and Hygiene Bureau in Formosa, where it was necessary to produce the death certificate for cremation.
Person died - Ichiro Okura
Date of birth - 1900 April 9
Cause of death - Cardiac arrest
Job - Soldier, temporary
Date of death - 19 August 4:00 pm
Date of permission for cremation - 21 August 1945
Date of cremation - 22 August 1945
Person requesting for the cremation - Dr Thaneoshi Yoshimi; doctor treated
The time of death in Habibur Rahman’s statements to different commissions vary between 5 PM August 18th to 12 AM August 19th, and 4 PM 19 August.
Netaji was reported to be alive even after 1945 by the British intelligence from Teheran and Kabul quoting the Russian embassy officials. This was even stated in the Shah Nawaz commission report (File No. 10/ Mis/ INA-pp 38, 39). Reports of the officers appointed by Mountbatten and McArthur, and the reports of BACIS (British American Counter Intelligence Service) have all completely discarded any possibility of such a plane crash to have happened. They all provided statements that Habibur Rahman hasn’t told the truth; most possibly he has promised Netaji to hide the facts.
