Netaji’s Family: ‘Spying’ is an Affront to Freedom Fighters

The Quint  

Sugata Bose, historian, Harvard professor and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s great-grandnephew, is appalled by the declassified files he saw at the National Archives in Delhi this week. The two documents declassified by Intelligence Bureau revealed that India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had the agency spy on Netaji’s family for 20 years, between 1948 and 1968. I referred to allegations of Winston Churchill plotting Netaji’s assassination but surely we don’t hold British Prime Minister David Cameron responsible for what Churchill may have done. In a strong bid to preserve the traditions of the freedom struggle, Sugata’s father was in constant touch with those who were associated with Netaji’s Indian National Army.
