Supreme Court Seeks Government Response on Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's Ashes in Japan
The Supreme Court of India has sought the government's response to a plea by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's daughter regarding the return of his ashes from Tokyo's Renkoji temple. Bose is widely believed to have died in a 1945 plane crash in Taiwan, with his ashes subsequently preserved in Japan. The Indian government has acknowledged this account based on multiple inquiries. Commemorations for Bose's birth centenary and ongoing debates over the authenticity and location of his remains continue to evoke public and official attention.
