Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was not a fascist or a nazi but had to shake hands with them in his mission to set the country free from the Britishers, says his daughter Dr Anita Bose-Pfaff.
The Professor of economics and expert in international relations also pointed out that her father was not a Communist as, he had formed the Forward Bloc—rather than aligning with left forces after leaving the Congress following differences with senior leaders.
"Netaji was a devout Hindu and believed in spiritualism and his ultimate aim and goal was to serve the nation," she said at a function organised by the Maharashtra unit of All India Forward Bloc and Netaji Subhas Research Institute at the Dr D Y Patil Academy of Education. "He was a tremendous personality and a totally secular man," she added.
Dr Bose-Pfaff, to a query on partition, said, "he would never had allowed this to happen." he and Mahatma Gandhi could have prevented partition. " this would also have averted the Kashmir problem," she said.
To a query, whether, Subhas Babu is still alive as it is believed, she said, "I do not think so" . However, she said that the recent commission set up by the Centre to probe the details of his death would come out with concrete evidence. "We cannot go commissions after commissions," she said. Earlier to unravel the mystery two commissions were set up — the Shah Nawaz Commission and Khosla Commission.
"I do not think he is alive, "she said. Had he been alive—he would have been 104- year- old today. She said if Netaji would have survived the aircrash at Taihoku airport—he may have been taken as a prisoner by Soviets and may have died a miserable death. "I hope it did not happen that way," she said.
Dr Anita was barely a little over two-year-old on August 23, 1945—when Netaji disappeared. Subhas last saw his daughter when she was only a few days old. He left his wife Emile and the little daughter in Germany. "Netaji’s memory will always be there in the minds of the people," she said. "He was an institution by himself."
She said that if her father would have been alive, he would have surfaced. However, she felt that the third Commission set up by the Government—will try to go into all the records and unearth the mystery of her father’s disappearance. "People like Netaji never die—they remain in the hearts of the people forever." (UNI)
