A few days ago a Japanese gentleman Prof. Kazuo Azuma

came to meet me. He is a Member of the Board of the India -Japan

Association and a distinguished scholar. I am placing below a letter

addressed by him along with hisCV at'A'. He brought with him a

letter written in Japanese by Mr. Yoshiro Mori pertaining to theremains of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. Mr. Azuma requested that

Prime Minister should acknowledge this letter. You may kindly

examine this and advise the Prime Minister accordingly.

Subject: R emains of N etaji Subas h Chand - Bose in Renkoji Temple in

Tokyo.

101c,,e,

Ms. Ani ta Pfaff , r /o Stadtbergen has addressed an e-mail dated 8.6.07

[FR] to the Indian Ambassador Germany enclosing a letter addressed by Ms. Pfaff

to the Prime Minister, with request that the letter be passed on t o the Prime

Minister during his stay in Berlin.

2. The enclosed letter dated 8.6.07 informs that last December, Ms. Pfaff was

approached by members of the Japanese -Indian Association in Tokyo to ascertain

her willingness to take charge of her father's remains, since after 60 years they felt

that somebody should do so. Ms. Pfaff has stated that this is evidently to be seen in

connection with the deteriorating health of the present priest Rev. Mochizuki. Ms.

Pfaff wrote back that she was willing to take charge of the remains and would then

take them to India and perform the appropriate rites there. She also advised that she

would like to have a DNA test done,provided that is technically possible, in order

to convince the people who do not accept the ashes in the Renkoji Temple in

Tokyo as her father's remains. Ms. Pfaff is in the process of investigating options

and organis ing the DNA tes t. Following tests, she plans to t ake remains from

Tokyo to India. Although she has not decided how exactly to deal with the remains

in India, she has s tated that at least part of remains wil l be immersed in the

river Ganges, as appropriate for a devout Hindu.

3. Ms. Pfaff has sought to know if and how the Government of India intends to

be invo lved in the return of her father's rema ins. She has stat ed that Japanese

persons concerned would welcome in fact, expect such participation and

involvement, but feel that nothing is likely to happen in the near future. She has

stated that apparently the Japanese persons concerned wish to be relieved of their


4/96

responsibility that they have been performing much longer that originally expected

by them.

4. Ms. Pfaff has stated that she hopes to conclude the transfer of the remains of

her father to India during the current year, which is 60th year of Independence and

the 110th year of her father's birthday.

5. Ms. Pfaff has sought reactions to the plans outlined above.

Ms. Anita Bose Pfaff has addressed a letter to PM through our

Ambassador in Berlin conveying her will ingness to take charge of her

father's remains, of her desire to arrange a DNA test,and also adding that

she hopes a part of his remains will be immersed in the Ganga.

2. In connection with a letter received by PM from Prof. Krishna Bose,

PM and NSA had discussed the matter and NSA had minuted that it had

been decided that Netaji's ashes would be moved from the Renkoji Temple

in Tokyo to the new Chancery premises of the Indian Embassy in Tokyo

and that EAM and FS had also discussed this with PM earlier.

3. In her letter to PM, Ms. Anita Pfaff has also mentioned that she has

sent a similar letter to EAM.

sft 4. In view of paragraph 2 above, it is proposed that we may ask MEA to

e's\j'I 3 1 1 convey the posi tion to our Ambassador in Berl in who could inform Ms.t e 'k t.

Reference the note placed below regarding Ms. Anita Bose Pfaff's

letter to PM about Netaji's ashes.

2. PM has approved that the decision that Netaji's ashes would be

moved from the Renkoji Temple in Tokyo to the new premises of the

Indian Embassy in Tokyo may be conveyed to Ms. Bose Pfaff.

3. It is submitted that before this decision is conveyed or made

public, the following points may bear further consideration:

(i) Whether this approach has been discussed with the

Japanese followers of Netaji who have been making the point) as

in former PM Mori's letter, that the ashes should be returned

honourably to India;

(ii) The position of the new Chief Priest of the Renkoji Temple

should perhaps be ascertained. If there is some problem keeping

the ashes at the Renkoji Temple as per present arrangements by

which GOI makes an annual contribution, other options could be

for their upkeep, or shifting the ashes to some other Buddhist

temple in Japan.

(iii) If the Government accepts the physical custody of the

ashes then the issue of the appropriateness of housing them in

national memorial in India would arise. Shifting the ashes to the

1

Chancery without a plan to bring them back to India could create

difficulties.

(iv) Shifting the ashes to the Indian Chancery premises will also

recognizes that the ashes are those of Netaji.

4. In view of the points mentioned above, and before the decision

mentioned in paragraph 2 above is conveyed to Ms. Bose Pfaff, the

possibility of modified arrangements for the ashes to remain in the

Renkoji Temple or another Temple in Japan could perhaps be revisited.

5. It is for consideration that NSA may like to have a further word

with EAM on this subject before action is taken to inform Ms. Bose Pfaff

through our Ambassador in Berlin as already approved.

Tokyo, April 28, 2006

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am writing this letter recalling the tragic demise on August 1945 of the greathero of independence Netaji Chandra Bose. I presume that you are aware that ever since

September 1945, his remains have been kept at Renkoji, a Buddhist temple in Tokyo,

under the hospitable care rendered by its chief Priest.

As I understand it, his remains have not been returned to India mainly because

of the delicate domestic circumstances in India pertaining thereto. Recently however, I

came to learn through Professor Kazuo Azuma, a board member of the Indo-Japanese

Association, that Mrs. Krsna Bose of Kolkata, President of the Netaji Institute and a

close relative of the late Netaji Chandra Bose, now feels strongly that considering the

change in circumstances in India, his remains should be returned to his fatherland

without further delay. Having being briefed in detail, I have come to feel that the wishes

of the Netaji family should be considered from a humanitarian point of view. I believe

that if his remains were to be returned to India with the courtesy commensurate with his

great historic status, the event would further promote the friendship between our two

peoples.

I sincerely hope that Your Excellency would be good enough to pay attention to

the wishes of the Bose family and take the appropriate steps accordingly. Your favorable

assistance would be highly appreciated. I would be much obliged if you could kindly

inform me of your thoughts.

With warmest regards,

Yoshiro Mori

Tokyo, April 28, 2006

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

I am writing this letter recalling the tragic demise on August 1945 of the great

hero of independence Netaji Chandra Bose. I presume that you are aware that ever since

September 1945, his remains have been kept at Renkoji, a Buddhist temple in Tokyo,

under the hospitable care rendered by its chief Priest.

As I understand it, his remains have not been returned to India mainly because

of the delicate domestic circumstances in India pertaining thereto. Recently however, I

came to learn through Professor Kazuo Azuma, a board member of the Indo-Japanese

Association, that Mrs. Krsna Bose of Kolkata, President of the Netaji Institute and a

close relative of the late Netaji Chandra Bose, now feels strongly that considering the

change in circumstances in India, his remains should be returned to his fatherland

without further delay. Having being briefed in detail, I have come to feel that the wishes

of the Netaji family should be considered from a humanitarian point of view. I believe

that if his remains were to be returned to India with the courtesy commensurate with his

great historic status, the event would further promote the friendship between- our two

peoples.

I sincerely hope that Your Excellency would be good enough to pay attention to

the wishes of the Bose family and take the appropriate steps accordingly. Your favorableassistance would be highly appreciated. I would be much obliged if you could kindly

inform me of your thoughts.

With warmest regards,

Yoshiro Mori

Subject: Letter to PM from former Prime Minister of Japan on the ashes

(:(alleged) of Netaji Subhas Bose at Renkoji Temple in Tokyo.

Letter dated April 28, 2006 from Hon'ble Mr. Yoshiro Mori, formerPrime Minister of Japan is in his capacity as the President of the Indo-Japanese

Association. The letter has been forwarded by the eminent Tagore scholar Prof.

Kazuo Azuma, who is presently the Secretary General of the Japan India TagoreAssociation.

2 Mr. Mori asserts that the ashes lying at Renkoji Temple are that of Netaji

and it is his understanding, through Prof. Azuma, that the family of Netaji Subhas

Bose wish that his remains should return to India without further delay. It is quite

strange that GoI is being approached through this channel.

3 It may be recalled that the third Commission, mandated by Governmentof India, the Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry (JMCI), has recently come to

the conclusion that it cannot be proved that the ashes are indeed that of Netaji.

Government has rejected the conclusions of the Commission. One of the reasons for

the inconclusive findings of the Commission is that experts feel that the remains at

Renkoji Temple may not lend themselves to conclusive DNA testing. Thus, we are

not yet ready to say with any certainty that the ashes are that of Netaji.

4 The wishes of the family as conveyed to the Hon'ble Mr. Mori by Prof.

Azuma may be correct. However, it is necessary to note that there are others in the

family who are not too sure. One of the nephews of Netaji, Hon'ble Member of

Parliament Shri Subrata Bose, who met the undersigned several times during thecourse of the JMCI and who was himself a deponent to the Commission, said that the

family wanted closure, but several of them were still not convinced that the ashes in

Tokyo are that of Netaji.

5 With regard to the query of PM0 on whether or not the Prime Minister

should reply to the Hon'ble Mr. Mori, our answer should be positive as the formerPrime Minister does indeed deserve a reply, especially as his reason for writing is to

"promote the friendship between our two peoples". However, in view of what has

been stated above, the reply cannot promise act ion as requested. It should, therefore,

convey regards and thanks to the former Prime Minister's engagement in improving

bilateral relations. On the substantive issue, PM's reply should say that the matter isconstantly under consideration by the Government and people of India; that it isGovernment's intention that the wishes of Netaji's family are respected in the matterand it is his personal wish that one of the pre-eminent figures of India's independence

movements be laid to rest with all the dignity and honour that he deserves.

6 Before the final answer is drafted, perhaps Ministry of Home, who are

the nodal Ministry for the matter, should also be consulted. The contact person is Ms.

Bhamati, Joint Secretary (Security). A

The following are submitted for consideration :

Has this matter been discussed with the Japanese followersof Netaji ? The main point in PM Mori's letter was not that

they could not take care of the ashes but that they should bereturned honourably to India.

(ii) The shifting of the ashes to the Indian Chancery premiseswill make explicit what has been implicit so far thatGovernment recognizes that the ashes are those of Netaji.

This may not satisfy the Japanese and will certainly generatecontroversy in India among the Forward Bloc etc.

(iii) If the Government physically accepts the custody of theashes then how can it lodge it far away in Japan and notinter it in a fitting national memorial in India ? Shifting theashes to the Chancery without a plan to bring them back to

India will be difficult to justify.

(iv) The position of the new Chief Priest needs to be ascertainedclearly. If indeed there is some problem keeping the asheshave other options been explored - such as increasinglysubstantially the amount being paid for upkeep or shifting the

ashes to some other Buddhist temple?

(v) Any change in the status quo should be careful ly thoughtthrough.

I write with reference to the matter of Netaji's ashes which arepresently being maintained at the Renkoji Temple in Tokyo. As you knowthis matter has been discussed on several occasions and recently the

possibility of the ashes being moved to the new Chancery premises of theIndian Embassy in Tokyo had been broached.

2. I have had occasion to discuss this subject with EAM and he

kindly agreed that before any further action in this direction is taken, the

position of the new Chief Priest of the Renkoji Temple should perhaps beascertained to confirm the possibility of the ashes continuing to bemaintained there. If there is some problem keeping the ashes at the

Renkoji Temple as per present arrangements, by which the Government of

as increasing substantially the amount being paid for their upkeep, or any

other means.

YEAR 2007

Yesterday, Dr. ANITA PFAFF, daughter of SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE, had

come to see me in pursuance of the letter that she had addressed to PM during the G-8

Summit. She said that she had met an official of the Japanese Embassy to discuss her

proposal for getting a private DNA test done in Germany on her father's remains kept in

Japan. The official had advised her that the Japanese Government would not like to do

anything without the consent of the Indian Government. She said that she was still

awaiting a response from GOI regarding the proposal.

2. I told her that I had received no formal response from GO!, though I could

imagine that this would be somewhat delicate, given the political controversy

surrounding the issue in India.

3. Dr. PFAFF stressed her personal interest in bringing the issue to a close

especially since she is getting on in years. She said that it may also be helpful to GOI

to clarify the issue without getting directly involved and that she would try to seek the

support of other family members for this. I said that I would convey her request to GOI

and get back to her.
