Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on Netaji Bose's Ashes Repatriation Plea
The Supreme Court of India has sought the Centre's response to a petition by Anita Bose Pfaff, daughter of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, requesting the repatriation of his ashes from Tokyo's Renkoji Temple. The court issued a notice to the Union Ministries of External Affairs and Home. Netaji is believed to have died in a 1945 air crash, with his remains preserved in Tokyo for over 80 years. The petition follows earlier requests and highlights the desire for final rites in India.
