  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.

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.

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...
