Apart from the achievements, his early life and the contributions he has given for the freedom of our nation, Netaji’s death still remains a mystery till now. Here are some of the instances which prove the arguments and some which do not.

He was jailed for a year for not obeying the ban on his entry to India.

The major reason behind Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s death holds a mystery. Some people say that he died out of plane crash in Taipei, Taiwan and his cause of death is burn. Some say that he did not die,. On August 18 1945 .

Congress was elected in seven states during the general elections of 1937 and he was released.

Over the years his death has been a mystery as speculations have been made that he didn’t die at all and lived on in Russia and later in India, he took sanyas and resides in U.P by the name of Bhagwanji or Gumnami Baba. He is assumed to be dead in Faizabad in 1985.

Defying the ban on his entry to India, Subash Chandra Bose returned to India and was again arrested and sent to jail for a year.

Bhagwanji looked exactly same like Bose and his writing matched also that of Netaji’s. On four separate occasions, He himself admitted that he was Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose but that it was in the best interest of the nation that he stay anonymous. The alleged plane crash doesn’t even exist in the Taiwanese records. Also, till this very day no genuine conclusion can be derived yet.

After the General Elections of 1937, Congress came to power in seven states and he was released.

Netaji’s niece found his letters out of 2600 items boxed. She identified it is her uncle’s writings. They all were packed and sent to district treasury, Two inquiries about his death were done and it was confirmed by them that he died in a plan crash. But after repeated pressures from his people of Bengal, Justice M.K Mukherjee was asked to end the controversy. The boxes were opened and a large crowd was gathered.

Next year he was elected as the President of the Haripura Congress Session.

A pair of german binoculars, a corona typewriter, Netaji’s watch, five teeth and a silver round trimmed spectacles were found. This so called Gumnami Baba was an extraordinary man indeed. A set of books was also found like the history of freedom movement in India, Gulliver travels, the last days of the raj and Moscow’s shadow over West Bengal. This cannot be considered a type of bedtime reading for a sadhu.

He took a very stern decision and brought a resolution and asked Britishers to hand India over to the Indians within six months.

Following opposition to his rigid stand, he resigned from the post of president and formed the Forward Block.

When the story of Bose’s death in 1945 reached Viceroy Wavell he said: ‘I do suspect about it.’ Gandhiji also claimed that his intuitions were telling him ‘he is still alive and biding his time somewhere’. Bose certainly had form as an escaper. He spent his life sometimes secretly, from country to country.

He fled to Germany via Afghanistan and tried to persuade Germany and Japan to cooperating against the British Empire.
