Netaji Bose Secret Letters

Amiya Bose, freedom icon Subhas Chandra Bose's nephew, was tasked by his uncle to carry a secret letter seeking Soviet help in India's liberation, which was to be delivered to agents in Britain in October 1939, barely a month into the Second World Wa

The second set of 25 secret files on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose is likely to be declassified this month, Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma has said.

Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed visit to Moscow later this month, an independent journalist and grandnephew of Subhash Chandra Bose, Ashis Ray, released a set of documents in London, which he claimed are part of the classified files of the Indian government on the former Congress president, also popularly called Netaji.

"For the last one month a rather strange broadcast is being heard over the radio... The broadcast only says 'Neta Subhas Chandra transmitter... wanted to speak," this was written by Netaji's nephew Amiya Nath Bose in a letter to his brother in 1949 as revealed by one of the secret files on the leader declassified by the West Bengal government.

In the Netaji files, made public on Friday, is a secret police memo of May 1946 about a letter that was intercepted. A letter by Netaji's wife Emilie Schenkl from Vienna to Sarat Chandra Bose, Netaji's elder brother. The bottom left corner of the memo is torn.

From intercepting letters to keeping track of his movements as well as the speeches he made and the meetings he attended, Amiya Nath Bose, the nephew of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, was constantly under the scanner of police.
