  Subhas Chandra Bose's major relief effort was evident during the North Bengal floods in 1922-23. An authentic account is taken up from the memoirs of St. Nihal Singh (titled A Saint turned Patriot) from Netaji, His Life and Works edited by Shri Ram Sharma. The writing goes as follows, "A few weeks after his release from prison, Subhas was found grappling with formidable situation in North Bengal caused by a serious flood, rather unusual for the time. He was entrusted by Sir P.C Roy with the task of bringing relief to the afflicted in North Bengal. He at once went to Santahar and took charge of the relief operations there. He knew no rest. His energy never flagged and he would first put himself in the perilous position before he would ask anybody to take that place. His example served as an inspiration to his coworkers most of whom were very young and inexperienced." - The details are provided in the post https://www.netajisubhasbose.org/post/subhas-chandra-bose-and-nort

It is a common perception that with the so called death of Subhas his brand equity lingered for sometime among his most tenacious followers who expected that he would return from dead and when it did not happen, the euphoria around him and INA died down. Many INA veterans died in penury and no help came for them. Public simply forgot. There was no outrage when shoddy investigations by "Loaded Dice Commissions" proclaimed that he died in a plane crash. Brand Subhas became more and more irrelevant, and the Brand Gandhi was carefully crafted by the political circle of India and was exploited (and still being exploited by Modi and his elk) to the fullest extent. Gandhi became an international brand - a sort of mini Christ to be an ideal that was never practical but nevertheless worthy of worship as per West. Subhas Chandra Bose was an outcaste. He collaborated with the Nazis, sided with the Japanese and dared to challenge the British Empire and the White Suprematist Hegemony of A

This topic has also been discussed at length in www.netajisubhasbose.org Was Subhas Chandra Bose married? Well, this is a settled fact isn't it? After all, Emilie Schenkl is the wife and Anita is the daughter as per every possible source of information. But wait, this is not so simple. There are several questions that were raised in connection with the marriage. These questions come up esp. when we take it for granted that Bhagwanji, the anami saint who was in Faizabad until 1985, was no other than Subhas Chandra Bose. He also went by the name of Mahakal and features prominently in the book Oi Mahamanab Ase and more recently in the book Mahakal Kathan. His monologues also feature in Netaji-r Secret Service by Dr. Pabitra Mohan Roy. First, the facts. The marriage was a proven affair by a letter apparently written by Subhas himself to his Mejda Sarat Bose asking him to take care of his wife and daughter in the event something happened to him as he was undertaking an uncertain journey

The Freedom Portal is being created in www.netajisubhasbose.org with all major movements and the key architects - to provide the glimpses of our true history to the future generations. https://www.netajisubhasbose.org/lest-we-forget-freedom-portal Let them atleast remember the sacrifices that we have conveniently forgotten. History neither forgets, nor does it forgive those who forget. Its better that we remember and atleast pledge our fight by paying our respect to the thousands who died without asking for a return or a favour and whose legacy has been usurped by self serving and self seeking brood of hyenas.

Indian Independence Movement had many defining moments. The sacrifices that were made largely went in vain because a) Betraying the interests of the nation and collaborating with the British, our so called nationalist leaders including Nehru and Patel actively supported the Partition and somehow Gandhiji who had said that India would be split on his dead body, acceded b) The Independence received was actually a transfer of power. India remained a Dominion of Britain and later joined the Commonwealth in 1949 to sign her continuance of the acceptance of the patronage of her former colonial rulers. Our history books conveniently forgot the true sacrifices, the bloodshed for the country. A legacy of corruption, nepotism, selfishness and greed was inherited and the sacrifices were forgotten. A breed of politicians and bureaucrats who created a legacy of exploitation, loot and selling away of their own country, prospered and people willy nilly voted for them. No political party was immune a

Let us suppose that there are two countries in our present times, both very powerful and ruled by autocratic leaders. Both the countries have global designs and aspirations. One is an economic superpower while the other is an aspiring economic superpower. One has a grievance, a grudge that once it controlled half the world and its resources and then it was taken away from it. It still harbours the notion that it can attain glory by reconquering the lost territories and also the resources and thus become an economic superpower and again dominate the world like the cold war era. The other thinks that it is the natural heir to the throne of the world because of its size and capabilities. For a long time the world had ignored it, even oppressed it. It had suffered a lot. It ushered in a cultural revolution to drive away the influence of the foreign devils that had contaminated its soil and culture, in the process killing millions of its own citizens. The other one had been the deathbed f

Coronavirus epidemic has given us several opportunities. They are - 1) we should be grateful for being alive everyday. Its a fact that we forget that we should be grateful everyday for seeing a new day. Only in times of crisis we remember that we can too die - just as Yudhisthira said - "ahani ahani bhutani gacchanti yamamandiram...sesha sthirantam icchanti kimaschryam mata param" - everyday people die and yet they think that somebody else will die, not me. 2) We should learn to curb our desires and live on what is minimum, essential for our sustenance - Mother earth will be much lighter if we learn to live on less and do not hoard unnecessary staff, try to become less selfish and more concerned with the larger community 3) Lead a peaceful life, not hectic mad rush after money, power, name, fame and recognition 4) Do what is better for us in the long run and not necessarily what seems to be pleasant and entertaining - like meditation in place of movies, prayer and fasting i

Year 2020 will probably be a turning point in the history of human civilization. There were very few periods in history when an entire human race was held hostage to a morbid fear of sickness and death, across almost all nations and vast geographies. The COVID19 or the Coronavirus or Wuhan Virus, whichever is the name given, is officially a Pandemic and has already affected more than 200,000. The figure is going on increasing. China has apparently now shut it out but no one knows if it won't strike again. America, Britain and continental (Western) Europe are down and out. Italy is the biggest casualty, others are following. Pope's closeness to God has not spared Vatican, apparently God does not believe in nepotism. In the Middle East Allah is not too pleased with Iran, although some ingenious Indian Muslims claim that the very name of Corona is derived from Koran. Now it is apparent that the casulaty figures are going to increase. In India its the sheer stupidity and brazenne

At various levels, politics is driven not by morality but by compulsions of petty interests. Take for instance Bengal politics. The Left is finished while Congress is non existent. The battle is now between two main parties - BJP & Trinamool. One would wonder why BJP is not going all out after Didi despite having several key weapons like that of allegations of corruption, infighting with TMC and a fragile economy. BJP has no strong organization and has not built any. Its leaders are mediocre and some even are pure rubberstamps, like its so called Vice President who was till a few days back towing Trinamool line on the CAA. People will naturally wonder as to why BJP central leadership has kept showpieces. The answer is clear. Its a got up game. The BJP needs Trinamool as much as Trinamool needs BJP. Despite the rhetoric of Didi, it is clear that she is comfortable with BJP in opposition. She has a calculation. She knows that she has the urban Hindu votes. What she dreads is the ri

Globally there is a war going on for power, between leftists and nationalists. The leftists corner bulk of the organized institutions like media, academics and other areas where you can control and create opinions. Leftists are backed by two very powerful countries. They are also eyeing elections in America Europe and India, countries that matter to them.They have deep pockets as they are handsomely funded. A section of the leftist corporate is strongly with them. The Islamic jihadists including the many terror orgs are merely their foot soldiers. Global left is using terror as a pawn, and that includes bankrupt and fundamentalist nations like Pakistan, to pursue their agenda of capturing and grabbing power. India is high on their radar and some of the policies of the BJP govt are serving as bottlenecks like stopping funding of bogus NGOs, reduction in corruption and curbing the internal problems in Kashmir and NE. Global left is sponsoring insurgents in NE, the Maoists and urban Nax

New website on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose launched at  https://www.netajisubhasbose.org/ The site is dedicated to author Shailesh De, whose magnum opus, "Ami Subhas Bolchi" still inspires many Subhas lovers and to author Vishwas Patil, whose Mahanayak is a similar effort in Marathi and English. Also dedicated to the countless Netaji Subhas devotees across the world, whether they believe in the aircrash theory or not, and irrespective of whether they believe that he is living or dead. Our genuine love and remembrance keeps him alive and our hope and faith in him ensures his immortality. ​The site is dedicated to all those sung and unsung heroes of freedom who sacrificed their lives and property at the altar of the motherland which many of them had never seen - the Indians of East and South East Asia who responded to the clarion call of "Give me blood, I will give you freedom" and "Total Mobilization." The site remembers those heroes of INA who laid d

Even though Subhas called himself as Leftist and Socialist and was enamored by Soviet Russia like so many youngsters of his day, by the revolutionary spirit, he was not a communist. He wanted to find the synthesis of a best political idea that would be rooted in India, in its traditions. He was deeply spiritual and was as much socialist as Swami Vivekananda was, viz. humanist who could sincerely feel for the oppressed, for the poor and deprived, for the labour and the masses who toiled hard to earn their living and lived on pittance. His concern for the people was not political as was the case with the communists. His concern stem from genuine love for them, just like his guru Vivekananda’s. So to dub him as a Leftist or Communist would be a dangerous aberration bordering on folly. Similarly he was averse to the communal politics. He did not partner with the Muslim League or denounced the politics of Hindu Mahasabha or changed Jana Gana Mana to Subh Sukh Chain or inducted a large nu

One man of superior intelligence, military and spiritual genius with incredible foresight and intense love for his country, had predicted in the 60s that India will be rocked by frequent battles between leftists and nationalists. It is to be remembered that BJP was non existent in the 60s. Congress was then a nationalist party but it was leftist as well. There was no issue or contention between Congress and left except for state level battles. Also leftist elites enjoyed the patronage of Congress so there was no award wapsi or intolerance brigade back then. The media was largely pliant except Indian Express during the Bofors days. There were no ideological skirmishes. The real battle between leftists and nationalists began after 2016, when the surgical strikes, Balakot airstrikes and a plethora of issues pertaining to Indian national interest vs. narrow communal interest assumed significant proportion of media and elite leftist attention. The students organizations so far dominated

The role of educationists and teachers are to build characters of the students. When we see that in the educational institutions of national prominence, professors are encouraging students to participate in an agitation or protest against Citizenship Amendment Act, we know for sure that the education system of this country is not having a   problem, it is having a crisis. First we need to understand what is the core issue. It would seem that most of the students and the leftist ecosystem that had rendered support to them that includes the so called intellectuals, belonging to both majority and minority sections, have some other agenda. Agenda is to drive home their hatred for a Government and their policies with which they do not gel well. This ecosystem has been developed and brainwashed since time immemorial to hate specific ideologies. And in the true guru sisya parampara they have bred their disciples who can take over and continue with their hate culture. They would dub themsel
