My Memories of INA and its Netaji |
"After my release, I had an opportunity of travelling a good deal throughout India and every where I went I found the Indian people anxious to know more about the INA and its Netaji. Impelled, therefore, by a burning desire to put down what I knew, I have undertaken to narrate the entire and an absolutely uncoloured story of INA in the method and language of a soldier," wrote Shah Nawaz Khan. Read one of the earliest accounts of the Indian National Army. More |

The Young Subhas |
Bose's closest friend of his school days, Hemanta Kumar Sarkar, wrote two books on him. The first book - a short biography, which also contained the letters exchanged between them - was published in 1927 According to Sarkar, Bose was not happy with him on the account of publishing the letters. However, in 1946, he published his second book on the twelve years between 1912-24. This book was more detailed and besides letters, also included an account of the non-cooperation movement in Bengal.
Read Subhas Chandra (published in 1927), and Subhaser songe baro bochhor (1946). |

| In our radio propaganda we followed a very simple line, that is, anti-British and anti-imperialist, as well as anti-American...In certain matters we even took quite the opposite attitude to the German point of view...We went to Germany not because we were attracted by the philosophy of Hitler, but because we saw that the war had opened up a new possibility for raising the struggle of Indian independece to a higher level and bring it to a final stage...more |

Too late and then too little |
20 Aug, 2010: After the expiry of twenty working days stipulated by the Central Information Commission to provide 290 exhibits of the Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry, the Ministry of Home Affairs has informed that it can provide only two of them ‘immediately’.
The CIC re-issued its decision order of 20 October 2009 after eight months, on 14 July 2010, when the Ministry informed the CIC that it could not comply with its order since it did not receive the list of exhibits that were sought by applicant Chandrachur Ghose. While the officer at CIC responsible for communicating the order along with the list of exhibits claimed that he had sent it across to the Ministry, the Ministry claimed non-receipt. The CIC's order of October 2009 had come after a 35-month long tug of war. After the latest order, the CPIO of the Ministry informally informed Ghose that Home Ministry has a shortage of staff who can put together all the exhibits. Ghose has filed a complaint with the CIC. |

| Subhas the immortal |
| Reminiscences, Pattabhi Sitaramayya |
Today's politics is tomorrow's history. That is but a truism. But events happen in life which being the politics of the day, constitute the history of the day as well. Such is the flight of Subhas Babu beyond the borders of India across the fastnesses of Kabul to unknown regions for achieving unsuspected purposes. Whosoever thought that this silent sphinx of the Congress who stood mute and voiceless for a year of his tenure of office, would suddenly develop into a strategist, a warrior, a commander of forces, a rebel, and revolutionary..... |

| Recollections and reflections |
| Reminiscences, Rafi Ahmad Kidwai |
I first came in contact with Subhas Bose in 1923 at Delhi when the Congress was divided into two groups over the question of what was known as 'Council Entry.’ Mahatma Gandhi was in jail and the leaders outside were not able to come to an agreement. Deshabandhu Chittaranjan Das, Pundit Motilal Nehru, Hakim Ajmal Khan and Mr. Vithalbhai Patel led one section which advocated a change in the tactics and entrance to the legislature. And the other led by Mr. C. Rajagopalachari, Babu Rajendra Prasad, Dr. Ansari and Sardar Patel stood for the old policy. Subhas Babu, as the favourite lieutenant of Deshabandhu, was playing a prominent part in the controversy. |
