My father would’ve been prominent alternative to Nehru: Bose’s daughter

Hindustan Times  

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s daughter is annoyed that instead of accepting evidence, many continue to be excited with “asinine” theories that he survived the plane crash in Taipei in 1945 and lived in the mountains as “Gumnami Baba”. Speaking to Hindustan Times shortly before the Narendra Modi government begins releasing declassified files related to Bose, Pfaff said she supported the move but doubted if it would end the “fruitless” controversy. A: I wish so, it is rather fruitless with all these rather asinine theories being advanced, including that he is still alive, god knows where, or that he lived in the mountains as ‘Gumnami Baba’, which is an insult to him, because how can anyone believe that a person who was so dedicated to his country would then go and live in the mountains and not involve himself at all and not get in touch with any member of his family?
