ネタジ「ボース」
インド独立の父
ロハン・アグラワル

インドの主要部の一つであるベンガルは、洞察力のある指導者達–スワミ・ヴィヴェーカーナンダ、天佑であるスリラ・プラブパーダ、またネタジ:スリ・スバス・チャンドラ・ボースらを輩出してきました。
興味深いことに、彼らのほとんどは日の出づる国–日本と特別な関係を持っていました。スワミ・ヴィヴェーカーナーンダによって与えられた19世紀末に向けた未来像、自信、露出は、スワミ氏が離れるわずか数年前に現世に出現した(スコティッシュ・チャーチ・カレッジでの)二人の聡明なベンガルの同級生によって遂行されました。二人とも英語が達者で、この世の精神的本質を深く理解していました。一人は全世界に悟りを広める務めを負い、もう一人は落胆したインド人達に莫大な自信を高め、そしてインドの歴史を永遠に変化させる務めを負いました。片方の一人が何十億人に人生の不可思議を理解させることを手助けした間(そして著書を通じて今でも)に、もう一人が人生を見捨てたこと–謎の失踪をしたことは、全く皮肉です。昨年(2012年)は、ベンガルの地方雑誌にHDGスリラ・プラブパーダの伝記を追想させましたが、今年はネタジの重要な側面に触れます。

ネタジは霊性を信じていたのか?

Handsome leader with confident looks being decorated in the army uniform is a typical image which present generation seems to have for Neta Ji. Neta Ji was a leader who always led from front, be it a round table conference or a war field. However if we closely follow his daily routine, his quotes, his speeches, one cannot hesitate to categorize him as a "Spiritual leader". Here is one of the famous quotes from Neta Ji that can justify both these images:
"A true soldier needs both military and spiritual training"

Why Neta Ji is the father of Indian independence?

After successfully crushing "Quit India" movement and by winning WW-II, Britishers were only aiming to expand their rule in south-Asia. What they could not expect was one of the biggest revolutions that kicked-off in 1946, known as Royal Indian Navy (RIN) mutiny & Royal Indian Air Force Revolt (RIAF). RIN & RIAF mutinies were triggered by Neta Ji & INA’s fight during the siege of Imphal. It is worth mentioning that recently National Army Museum in England has rated the battle of Imphal-Kohima as the "Greatest British Battle". Even with a win, British army was never like before and was left with exhausted British airmen who also inspired RIN & RIAF mutinies. British PM Clement Attlee mentioned that Neta Ji’s INA & RIN made Britishers realize that they were no longer in a position to rule India.

Naval Mutiny and Gurkhas

How can Neta Ji inspire us even today?

Swamy Vivekanand Ji had always mentioned that one who forgets his history cannot create his future. Solution for "today’s problem and development for future" also lies in history. It is the "devotion for a queen" among Indian soldiers that was broken by Neta Ji which eventually led to Indian independence. Once again we need a leader who can inspire us, can boost the confidence among the dejected Indians, that India can also become a "developed" nation. It was the feeling of “Nationalism" being ignited by Neta Ji to unite all the Indians for "Swaraj" (freedom), once again we need to re-energize the feeling of "Nationalism" to get united for "Su-raaj" (good governance). To justify this, here is another quote by Neta Ji: "Nationalism is inspired by the highest ideals of the human race, Satyam (the Truth), Shivam (the God), Sundaram (the Beauty)."

How to resolve the mystery behind Neta Ji’s disappearance?

Mukherjee Commission, majority of the Neta Ji’s family members & other prominent researchers on Neta Ji, they all had one thing in common ? tones of facts & evidence that clearly question the theory of suggested air-crash in 1945. So what happened to Neta Ji and where was he post-1945? We do have answers available but they are sealed into some ~27 files being marked as "de-classified" and are possessed by the Governments of India, Russia, Japan, UK, US, Germany & Italy. Hence only way to resolve this mystery and to get the justice for our National Hero is to release all the declassified files related to Neta Ji in the public domain.

Neta Ji’s followers in Japan:

Neta Ji will always be remembered as an important mile-stone for Indo-Japan relations. Neta Ji has always received the greatest level of respect from Japan and even today he is being revered with great extent. In 2013, Tokyo had a memorable birth anniversary celebration for Neta Ji. This includes re-union for Japanese INA veterans, short movie on Neta Ji’s rare photos & videos, message from Dr. Swamy and kids reciting poem on Neta Ji as well as performing regimental quick march on INA’s Qadam Qadam Badaye Ja. However we did miss the presence of "Bengal".
