A new set Umbrella Tent Lighting manufacturer of documents, set to shed light on the last days of Subhas Chandra Bose and his 70-year-old death mystery, have been released here which include parts of classified correspondence between the Indian and Russian governments on the whereabouts of Netaji.The documents, likely to be released in a phased manner by a UK-based independent journalist and Bose’s grandnephew Ashis Ray, debunks the popular notion that Mr Bose entered into the Soviet Union in 1945, the year of his death as per records, and comes ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s proposed visit to Moscow later this month.It includes material Mr Ray claims to have collected in Taiwan, Japan, Pakistan, the National Archives in Britain and the British Library, as well as from the Indian and Russian governments and few intelligence documents.
The first set of documents, released this week, claims to show two official exchanges between the Indian embassy in Moscow and the Russian foreign ministry. The first, dated September 16, 1991, requests the Russian government to share “any material that sheds light on the fate of Netaji”.The reply in January 1992 says that “according to the data in the Central and Republican Archives, no information whatsoever is available on the stay of the former President of the Indian National Congress, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, in the Soviet Union in 1945 and thereafter”.Following some “further speculation” in India, the Indian embassy made a second request in July 1995. The reply from the Russian foreign ministry in October that year was similar: “No information whatsoever has come to light on the stay of Mr Bose on the territory of the former USSR in 1945 and in subsequent years.”
