Arbit Scratchpad

Here is a poem on Bangalore. 'Tomorrow and the city'

Dear fellow Indian Y ou are requested to show your solidarity with an effort to aid the inquiry into the fate of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Kindly consider the following with an open mind: It has been 60 years since Netaji was reported killed following an air crash in Taipei, Taiwan. Since then, a torturous debate has been gnawing at the conscience of grateful Indians. Intelligence records show that under the ruse of a faked air crash, Netaji may have escaped to the then Soviet Union. And that this may have been known to top Indian leaders of that era. You would have heard many fanciful as well as dreadful stories. It has been alleged that Netaji died in a hideous Siberian camp in the 1950s. God forbid that should be true. The truth, whatever it is, must be found out. Now it has come to the crunch. In a few months from now, the report of the Honourable Justice MK Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry will be out. Set up after a Court order, this Commission has, against all odds, found...

To: Shamit Bagchi <shamit at_gmail__dot__com> Should we close down all cases in case we are not able to resolve them in time? Why are we still probing journalist Shivani Bhatanagar's murder? It's been 5-6 years. And what;s the fuss about 1965 war leak. It's been 40 years. We should look into future. I dont understand the logic people give. Let commission's report come...everyone will now how "futile" Justice Mukherjee's probe has been. there was no crash in 1945. there is no evidene that Bose and General Tsunamasa Shidei visited Taihoku on 18 August 1945. TAiwan Govt told me and later told Commision that they have many records. these records show other crashes but there is no evidence of any crash involving Netaji...I have not made my case just on this. I have seen intelligence reports and quoted from...

From: Shamit Bagchi Reply-To: Shamit Bagchi To: Anuj Dhar Yes that is true - The Mukherjee Commission was almost terminated last month. Even Supreme Court of India termed it futile. May be he is not alive now - but may be he did not actually die in the 1945 Taiwan plane crash as claimed/reported. Though one of his close associates had confirmed his death. You would have done much more research; I cannot say much as i am not very knowledgeable on this. But i have heard of certain conspiracy theories on how Jawaharlal Nehru may have been involved in leaking Netaji's whereabouts to Lord Mountbatten; as someone who had typed the letter has come out as a witness. The Congress government also, does not seem to be very open on this issue.

I am glad that you replied despite your not being so enthusiastic by details of his death. Your opinion is about to be changed. Please do tell others about the site and you please go thru the links. On 10 June the Mukherjee Commission will hold its next sitting. We will know whether or not the Govt is letting them go to Russia. Funny people cant see this simple thing: the commission has evidence suggesting that Netaji was in Russia after his "death" and the Govt is not letting them go there. What's is it they want to hide from the people? Regards Anuj Dhar http://www.geocities.com /netajimystery/home
