As the date of declassification of Netaji files nears, the london-based website www.bosefiles.info has launched a Twitter account @bosefiles to disseminate facts about the last days of Subhas Chandra Bose.
The creator of the website and Twitter account, Ashis Ray, a foreign correspondent for 38 years, worked for BBC and CNN.
The website and the Twitter account, for now, have posted five documents — four of these from files of the Indian Embassy in Moscow and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs — which establish Bose never went to the Soviet Union in or after 1945. The fifth document is a statement by a Russian Ambassador in India confirming this position. The documents were released at a media conference in london on December 7 by Ray, who has investigated the matter for the past 25 years.
The website and Twitter account will provide weekly installments of documentary evidence revealing what really happened to Bose. The next update will be posted on Monday. This will explain with documents why it is suspected Bose took sanctuary in the Soviet Union.
Ray’s material has been collected in Taiwan, Japan, Pakistan, from British archives, American experts and from Indian and Russian sources.
