Netaji's Daughter Renews Plea: Bring Bose's Ashes Home After 80 Years
- •Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's daughter, Anita Bose Pfaff, has renewed her appeal for the repatriation of his ashes from Tokyo's Renkoji Temple.
- •The appeal comes ahead of Netaji's 129th birth anniversary on January 23.
- •Pfaff believes it would deeply sadden Bose that his remains are still on foreign soil, over eight decades after his death and India's independence.
- •She urges Indians to support his 'posthumous return from exile' and the transfer of his ashes for a dignified final rite in India.
- •Bose's ashes are believed to have been preserved at Renkoji Temple since a fatal plane crash in Taipei on August 18, 1945, where he was cremated.
Why It Matters: Netaji's daughter urges India to repatriate his ashes from Japan for a dignified final ceremony.
