xtlq Ashes, of Netali Subhash Chandra Bosa

I spoke again to FM about this, pointing out
that the last surviving General was aging and could
die any moment.
While it had not been possible for
India to accept the ashes, woJld not some Party use

the possible loss of the ashes, after the death of
the present guardian /to attack the Government?
2.
FM said that he had not realised the urgency
of the matter. 'H.jewould talk ,Jith others concerned,

such as Chitti 3abu of the Forward 3loc, and see
whether the ashes could be accepted and Preserved,
say, in the National Museum, without a commitment
on the part of Government that they accepted the
ashes as those of Netaji Bose, as suggested in my
letter and in dm= discussion with FM.
3.
Initially, FM had mentioned the possibility
of a private Museum in Japan looking after the ashes.

I said I did not know whether this would be possible
but would enquire.
While this will be done after I
return to Tokyo, in subsequent discusslon
the
decision was taken as in para 2 of this Note.

The first Commission of Inquiry into the
disappearance of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose, commonly
known as Shah Nawaz Khan Committee, which was set up in
1956, included among the members, Shri Suresh Chandra
Bose, elder brother of Netaji. At the time of submitting
this report, Shri Suresh Chandra Bose submitted a
dissenting note stating that there had been no plane
crash involving Netaji's death. We have no information
available with us regarding the reaction of other
members of Netaji's family.
2.
Though the government accepted the majority
report by the first commission, but due to pressure it
again instituted a one-man commission by G.D.Khoslat
whose report was submitted to the Government in 1974.
Like the previous commission this one also submitted its
report stating that Bose was killed in an air crash
and that "the wooden basket lodged in Renkoji Temple
in Tokyo contains Bose's ashes." The government
accepted the findings of this Commission. We have no
information as to whether Bose' family has accepted
this finding or not.
For information.

Ref. Ambassador's -TitittrOf 'Minister's

remarks.
There is just one thing that may be relevant
to Mr. Nair's statement. I am not quite sure
whether I" would agree with him that the Japanese
Foreign Ministry has its doubts about the ashes.
I recall that during the then Foreign Minister,
Shri Vajpayee's visit to Japan in 1978, it was the
Gaimusho which had suggested to the Embassy that
our Foreign minister should pay a visit to Renkoji
Temple. What exactly does Mr. Nair mean when he
says that "this is well known in Delhi" concerning
Netaji Bose family not accepting the ashes as
genuine t What circles is he talking about ? It is
also incorrect to say that on no occasion have the
Japanese authorities themselves asked us to accept
the ashes. General Fujiwara on most occasions,
accompanied by an officer of the Japanese Embassy
and having been briefed beforehand by the Japanese
Ambassador in New Delhi, has put forward this
request. Although this does not amount to a direct
Ja planese Government request (if i'authorit is meant
as Government in para 4 of Ambassador's letter),
the ashes themselves are not in possession of the
Japanese Government.
In fact, why not let the matter be settled
between Netaji Bose family and Renkoji Temple. This
might be a preposterous suggestion but if Netaji's
family does not wish to negotiate, then it could be
clear to our Government and the public could be
told that the family itself is not interested in
the return of the ashes. Meanwhile perhaps Government
should continue paying the cost of maintenance to
the Temple.tat

On 23rd August, theNune#Vsigned had

represented the Embassy at the of the death
anniversary of Netaji held at Renkoji Temple
under the auspices of the Netaji Subhash Bose
Academy. The Chairman of this Academy is
retired general, Katakura and the Secretary is
Mr. Hayashi.
2.
Among the people present on that
occasion, besides Gen. Katakura who, as colonel
In the Japanese army, was the overall commander
of forces operating in Burma under which the
Hikari Kan operated, were Gen. Fujiwara, who was
an associate of Capt. Mohan Singh and has been
going to North-East India to collect the remains
of Japanese soldiers, and Gen. Ari-Sue who was at
the General Headquarters i Tokyo during the war
and had issued the orders --Enr bringing Netaji from
Germany to Japan. Others present were largely
people who had formed the Hikari Kan which was
apparently a group working with Netaji composed
of Japanese civilian and military personnel.
3.
In the conversation on the occasion ,
the major thrust of almost all the people was
towards convincing the INdian Government to agree
to accept the ashes of Netaji kept in that Temple
as this group felt it was growing too old and
after their passing away, the ashes may be untenanted.
Gen. Katakura referred to his meeting with the
Ambassador to reiterate this wish in his short
speech on that occasion.
4.
The ceremony itself was brief and like
the death anniversary of any Buddhist at a temple,
it was followed by tea and snacks at which
Mr. Inagaki, who is a Deputy Editor of the Shukan
Asahi (Asahi Weekly) was introduced as the person
with whom the Academy members have agreed to
cooperate in bringing out a book on Netaji which
would be published before August 23 next year.
Interestingly, no bones were made about expressing
the Academy's suspicions of anybody connected with
Asahi Shimbun, which is regarded as the left wing,
but after much thought, they appeared to have
reconciled themselves to working with Mr. Inagaki
who belongs to that group of newspapers.
5.
It was politely conveyed to me that
though invited every year, the Embassy had not been
represented at the death anniversary on August 23
on a regular basis. Further, the practice of the
Embassy contributing a boaquet on the occasion, which
was the practice till the late 70s, has been
discontinued.
6.
Ambassador may like to see.

In conne-Ction with the possibility of
Prime Minister visiting the Renkoji Temple during
his visit to Japan, I mat Mr. Hayashi of the Netaji
Academy today. Gen. Katakura was unfortunately out
of Tokyo and I broached the subject of the Prime
Minister possibly visiting Renkoji and the kind of
event which the Netaji Academy have in its mind if
that visit was to occur. Mr. Hayashi clarified that
there would be no big event with 5 or 6 members of
the Academy present to receive the Prime Minister.,
He did mention that their Chairman may mention their
strong desire to send the ashes to India. As
discussed with Ambassador and D.C.M., the undersigned
reiterated the fact that while the Japanese' reverence
of the a4,es was understood by us, that was one of the
many factors we had to take into account before deciding
upon the issue. As we are already in the know of the
Academy's wishes and the Prime Minister would possibly
be following the tradition in visiting the Renkoji,
we would not want any embarrassment to be caused to
him during that visit. Mr. Hayashi, without any
further prodding, promptly welcomed the possibility
of Prime Minister's visit and promised that he would
speak to Gen. Katakura and ensure that no request
for accepting the ashes would be made if the Prime
Minister were to visit. He also expressed understanding
of the complex nature ofkssue from the Indian point of I
view.

The Repatriation of the Ashes of Late Netaji

Subhas Chandra Bose to India, enshrined in
Renkoji (Buddist Temple), Tokyo
Sir,
The Remains of the Late Subhas Chandra Bose is at present, as you
know well, kept enshrined in Renkoji Temple, Nakano, Tokyo.
We shall be much obliged if you could repatriate the remains of the
Late Subhas Chandra bose to India at your
convenience..
Since August 18th 1945, when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose passed away
owing to an air crash at Taipei Air Port, 37 years have passed and September
18th 1946 , the remains and the Ashes of Netaji was brought and enshrined in
Renkoji, Nakano, Tokyo. Thereafter about. 10 years after all those who were :
anniversary day the August 18th

In May 1956, Netaji's fact finding team headed by Gen.Shah Nawaz Khan visited
Tokyo and further more, Prime Minister of India, the Late Pandit J. Nehru also
poms
yisited Renhnji in October 1957. Preeeding to that more interest has been
intEsified by various circle of Japanese people and on 23rd January 1948, the
Netaji's Birthday anniversary, our Netaji SubhaE. Chandra Bose Accademy was
organised headed by Mr. Keizo Shibusama.
Since then this Academy used to ob,,erved Netaji's birhtday party on 23rd
January and Death Anniversary on 18th August every year.
Thirty years have passed since the first president of the Academy and to
Mrs. Emori who died 3 years ago and the present president Gen. Katakura all
have the same intention of sending back the Ashes of Netaji to India. Especially
this year in January 1982, when Gen. Imaichi Fujiwara visited India he met and
discussed this subject with your Excellency, submitting Aide Memoire, copy of
which is enclosed herewith. This gave us the opportunity of writting this lettr
for which we appreciate your cooperation.
Now, the problem is thtt the member of the Academy who respected and

a great admirer of Netajei., died and his son has taken over the Temple and needs

Petition for the Return of the Ashes of Late Netaji

Sir,
Herewith our petition regarding the return of the Ashes of
Late Subhas Chandra Bose which is at present enshrined in
Renkoji Temple, Nakano, Tokyo.
We shall be much obliged if you could grant us the permission to send back the Ashes of Late Subhas Chabdra Bose

August 18th, 1945 when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose died in
an air crash at Taipei air port, 37 years have passed since
then, on September 18th, 1946 the remains and the Ashes of
".....\3taji was brought and enshrined in Renkoji Temple, Nakano,
Tokyo.
Then about 10 years after all those who were concerned
with Netaji gathered and offered prayers on the death anniversary day the 18th August.
May, 1956 Netajirs death investigating team headed by
Mr. Shah Nawaz Khan arrived in Tokyo and again Prime Minister
of India Late Pandit Nehru visited Renkoji Temple on October
1957. Since then high interest were taken by various people
and on January 23rd, 1948 Netaji's Birthday Anniversary Netaji

Since then this Academy observed Netaji's birthday party

on 23rd January and Death Anniversary on 18th August every
year.
Thirty Years have passed since the first president .of the
Academy and to Mrs. Emori who died 3 years ago and the present
president Gen. Katakura all have the same intention of returning back the Ashes of Netaji to India.
Especially, this year
in January 1982 when Gen Iwaichi Fujiwara visited India he met

and discussed with your Excellency, and has submitted Aide
Memo, a copy enclosed herewith.
This gave us the opportunity
of writing this letter, for which we appreciate your cooperation.

Now, the problem is that the members of the Academy who
respected and honoured Netaji are getting old, moreover, the
High Priest of Renkojim who was a great admirer of Netaji, died
and his son have taken over the Temple and needs a change over, so
we request responsibility and for the sake of goodwill and
friendship we request the Ashes of Netaji should be returned to
India at the earliest possible moment.
Hoping that this request should be graned,

PRAJAT ANT RA IM P H AL .
M AN IP U R, I N DI A.
Imphal 2 Nov 1987

Dear Shri Shyam Saran,
Would you kindly recall our discussion about
the remains of Netaji on 13 Oct 1987 at your Office.
I have been trying to help the Government of
India to solve the problem of Netaji's remains as per
letter No 1665-EAM/84 dated 21 June, 1987 of Shri P.V.
Narasimha Rao, then the'Minister for External Affiars
of India ( Photo copy is enclosed herewith for easy
reference). I have discussed this matter with Shrimati
Indira Gandhi when she was alive. I have been one of her
advisors in her emergency cases.
I met Shri Sheel Bhadra Yajee, President at
\N \
All India freedom fighters Organisation who and his
organisation is requesting to the Government of India for

bringing back of Netaji's remains to India.
I also met Dr Sisir Bose, nephew of Netaji ait
Calcutta and my house at Imphal several times. I have pis()
met Col *lion, Col Saga]. etc. Dr Sisir Bose has agreed
1
to me to bring the remains of Netaji to India, but Mr1
Samar Guha and some other forward Block leaders are
reported to have objected in bringing the remains of
Netaji to India stating that " Netaji did not die at

Taiphei Plane crash and he is still alive " However there
is no documentary evidence.
Meanwhile, I have received a letter from some
very responsible Japanese friends who are guarding the
remains of Netaji at Renkoji Temple in Tokyo for the last
42 years saying that they want to send it back to India.

I have discussed this matter with Dr Sisir Bose

at Calcutta, he has agreed that if Japanese are unable to
keep the remains of Netaji in Renkoji Temple, it is better
to keep it in a room of Indian Embassy till the controversy
is over. Those Japanese leaders who expressed their desire
to settle the problem refused to write letters to the Govt.
of India and Embassy of India in Tokyo saying that " it is
very delicate matter " but expressed their strong desire
to remove it from Renkoji Temple. The reason behind it as
explained to me is that Lt. General T. Katakura who is
looking after the remains is 90 years old. He is only living ,
General of II World War and after him 2titett.e,,they said
there is nobody to look after the remains of.Netaji. I met

Mr T. Nakai who is very old expressed the same view. They
told me repeatedly to take up this matter with the Govt. of/

India and Indian Etbassy in Tokyo. This is the reason why
I am writing this letter to you.
I shall be very grateful, if you kindly communicate about your observation in this matter.
After hearing from you, I want to take up this;
matter with Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi who is kind
enough to responed many importent matters to me.
With kind regards,

It has passed 38 years sihce Late Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose died
in an air crush at Taiwan Air. Fort in 18th,day of August 19L..5.'
we who knew Netaji have been observing his birthday January 23rd
and his death anniversary August 18t11.,every year and it is that we
feel very sad and sorry to say that the ashes and renalns of :this.
Great Net ajl S ubha s Cha ndra Bose who was a su preme com mande r of INk
and a leader of Provisional Government of Free India is still in
Reko,11 Temple at Tokyo has not been returned to his Motherland up
tn riow.
We have contacted our Foreign Dept many a times and the answers were.
th at t he I nd ia n .Govm.rnment has not yet recognized his death and that
they' cannot do anythrng but wait,and even the Indian Ambessy in Japan
gave th e s ame an swe rs.
However,that yOu must understood that longer we keep waiting,the
people who knows. and respect Ne.:aji gets lesser and lesser and 'at the
end their will be nobody to p
t respect his remains which we 'feel
ver y s orr y.
Therefore, we appeal to our arid his commaradeS the former officers
and people concerned with INA to
ge t
the Metajl's Ashes.and. XeMmtins
bac k to In dia a nd may' his ash es re tt :in .p ea ce in ai ve r G an a.

As desired by the Ambassador, I attended the
memorial service 4 held at the Renkoji Temple for Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose's ashes on Agust 18 '90.
2.
This was a special occasion for two reasons. Firstly,
they unveiled a bust of Netaji in the temple premises.
This bust is about 3 ft high mounted on a 5 ft pedestal.
It is permanently placed near the entrance to the temple.
3.
The second reason was that this .was the 45th
anniversary of the death of Netaji and as such assumed some
importance.
4.
There were a large numberLof Japanese guests present
including many old timers who had been associated with Netaji
during his stay in Japan. These included the President of the
Academy General Katakura (94), General Asuno (95), Mr Okuda,
Mr Hayashi who is the Secretary of the Academy and
Mr Shimoda of the Kokusai Foto Company etc.
5.
A number of Indian guests were also present. They were
Mr. Sheel Bhadra Yajee, Dr Sisir Bose, Col PK Sahgal, Mrs Lakshmi
Sahgal, one Capt Dasam, Capt Yadav and Mrs Janaki (of the
Rani Jhansi Brigade). Mrs Janaki has been a Member of
Parliament and Minister in Malaysia.
6.
The person behind this celebrations is one
Mrs Matsushima, whose mother was very closely associated with
Netaji while he was in Japan. Mrs. Matsushima and one or two
others fund these annual commemorative occasions and also
met all expenses related to the bust as well as the presence
of the Indian visitors this time.

both Japanese and Indians and in their private talks the
elderly Japanese reiterated to me the need to return the
ashes to India as there would be no one left to look after
these in a few years. There was no indication that this was
the last such commemorative ceremony. There was no pressure
either from the Indians present to take the ashes back. They
obviously understood the correct position. Mr Yajee did,.
however, emphasise to me the need for the Embassy to take up
strongly the matter of the return of the ashes so that it
would form part of the decision making process in India.

Dear Shri Asrani,
Kindly refer to your D.O. letter No.TOK/551/1/81,
dated August 20, 1990.
2.
As desired, I met JS(EA) on September 4 (earlier
he was busy with the visit of the Chinese delegation)
and JS(Estt.) this morning (7.9.90) to discuss the two
subjects referred to in your D.C. letter of August 20.
3.
According to Shri Nambiar, unless a general consensus
emerges in India about the true identity of Netaji's
ashes, it may be difficult for the Government of India to
take a decision on its repatriation due to political
Implications. He did not see any hope of such a consensus
emerging in the near future. You may have already seen a
news item in the Times of India dated September 3, a copy
of which is enclosed for ready reference. Such controversial news items add to the doubts and detract the formation of emergence of consensus on the issue.
4.
JS(Estt.) informed that she was aware of the case
and some relevant documents have since been received from
the Mission. I requested her to take personal interest
in the matter as the case appeared to be genuine. As a
typical establishment officer, she was, however, noncommittal.
5.
As Raja may have already told you, there has been
a change in my arrival schedule, which is now linked with
Shri Bajpai's visit to Tokyo.
SJ
Notes on the two subjects received along w

D.C. letter are returned herewith.

Subject:-
The Return of Netaji's Ashes to india
The ashes of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose are

presently retained at the Renkoji Temple near Tokyo.
These ashes have been at the Temple since 18th September
1945, soon after the air crash in which Netaji met his
death.
2.
T h e r e h a s0/ 1,
4 9,41gv 1/4 b e e n c o n t i n u i n g p u b l i c
controversy in India on the question of the ashes with
several groups and some collateral members of the Bose
family denying that these were Netaji's ashes.
This
opposition appears less rational with the passage of time.
3.
The Go ver nme nt of Ind ia has if--tlet~etzt.,
consistently taken the position that the ashes are, indeed,
those of Netaji.
Two committees have looked into this
matter.
The Shah Nawaz Committee report accepted on
1 6 t h J u l y , 1 9 5 6 , t h a t t h e a s h e s w e r e t h o s e o f Vile N e t a j i
but a dissenting note was submitted by Suresh Chandra Bose,
Netaji's elder brother.
From 1970 to 1974, the one-man
G.D. Khosla Commission again looked into the matter and
accepted the ashes as those of Ale Netaji.
4.
Both reports have been accepted by the
Government of India as Prime Minister Nehru's letter to
Suresh Chandra Bose of 13th May 1962 makes 0 clear.
Besides, the Renkoji Temple has been visited by most
Indian dignitaries, including Prime Minister Nehru (1957),
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi: (1969), President Rajendra
Prasad (1957), Foreign Minister Vajpayee (1978) and Foreign
Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao (1982).
5.
Demands for India to accept the return of the
ashes have been growing, particularly since those Japanese
who remember Netaji or who were associated with him are
slowly passing from the scene.
Several former members of
the INA have also asked that the ashes be ceremonially
taken home, and most recently it was suggested that they
be kept in the Embassy until suitable arrangements in
India are made.
6.
It has consistently been the Embassy's view
that the return of the ashes to India would be the most
appropriate solution.
Apart from the present subsidy
of around 1600,000/- being given to the Japanese temple
every year, to continue the present state of affairs
lays the Government of India open to the charge that they
did not honour the remains of one of India's major freedom
fighters, remains which have been accepted as genuine by
successive governments of India.

Air-conditioning of representational areas

in the residences of DCM and 6 officers in

The Mission had first proposed to the
Ministry on 19th August 1988 the installation of airconditioners in representational areas of DCM's residence
and 6 residences occupied by officers at Azabu Court.
/proposal to T h e M i n i s t r y h a d i n i t i a l l y s u g g e s t e d t h a t w e d e f e r o u r /

we had forwarded quotations from three firms for
air-conditioning of these representational areas.
After
repeated reminders, Ministry felt that the cost of
air-conditioning was exorbitant
and asked that we
explore possibilities for reasonably priced airt,
conditioners (Ministry's telex No. A-967 of 3rd September
.. .
1989,- copy enclosed).
We had, therefore, sought further
estimates and sent these on 10th November, 1989(copy of
... ,
telex enclosed)
.
12.
The Ministry has now written vide letter
No. Q/SP.I/8851/17/88 dated the 5th July 1990 seeking
weather data and asking why this need was not felt
earlier.
We are writing to the Ministry pointing out
,---that their letter is incorrect in its initial assumption
since air -conditioners for the Embassy Residence were
.
first installed in representational areas in 1969.
As for weather data, this is being collected and will
be sent separately.
Th e n e ed f o r th e a i r - c o n d i ti o n e r s
was explained to the FSIs along with temperature details

in the enclosed note by the then Ambassador

Please refer to the correspondence resting with

this Mission's letter No. TOK/TS/3/78 dated 22nd August,
1989, regarding Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's ashes.
2.
As in previous years, Ambassador has been invited
to a ceremony on August 18 at the Renko-ji Temple where
the ashes are presently being preserved. This year, apart
from the normal ceremony, a bust of Netaji is to be unveiled
on this occasion.
We understand from the organisers
that the following will be present:
(a) Ms. Janaki, formerly of the INA and now
an MP in Malaysia.
(b) Ms. Luxmi Saigal, former INA member.
(c) Mr. Dutta, former student in Japan.
(d) Mr. Dhillon.
As you know, Ambassador has not been attending these
functions in the past and we shall be keeping to past
practice, again this year, deputing a Counsellor to attend
the ceremony.
3.
On the larger policy question,0- t h e r et u r n o f
Netaji's ashes to India, your letter No. 3977/JS(EA)/90
dated 9th July, 1990, indicated that as of Prime Minister
Kaifu's visit, it was still our opinion that the matter was
too complicated to address. I wonder whether some change may
not now be possible. During last year's ceremony at Renko-ji .
Temple, the wife of Netaji's youngest brother Salesh Chandra
Bose also participated in the ceremony. This suggests that
large portions of Netaji's family accept the ashes as being
those of Netaji, just as the Government of India has. It
may, therefore, be appropriate, as suggested in my predecessor's
letter of August 22, 1989, to ascertain the views of the
surviving family members about the disposal of the ashes.
This is becoming increasingly necessary as old age claims
Netaji's surviving Japanese associates. Besides, if the
Government of India accepts the ashes as being genuine
(as it did when accepting the Shah Nawaz Committee and
G.D. Khosla Commission reports), then it lays itself open to
...2/-
the charge of not providing a home and of failing to

treat with proper reverence the ashes of one of India's
undoubted patriots. We would be most grateful for your
advice.

Reference: The invitation from the Subhash Chandra

Bose Academy (attached).
Ambassador had desired that the following

two matters be checked.
i) the 'antecedents' of the bust of Netaji
ii) Names of the 5 Indian guests.
This was checked by the staff and the information provided
is given below:
a) The former President of the Academy - one
Mr Emori, had left a legacy. The expenses
incurred in these annual functions are met
from this legacy.
Similarly, the bust has been financed from
this legacy and was ordered through the
Mitsukoshi Department Store.
b) The Indians attending the function are:
i) Mr Janaki, formerly of the INA and
now an MP in Malaysia;
ii) Mr Luxmi Saigal, former INA member;
iii) Mr Dutta, former student in Japan;
iv) Not confirmed who they are or whether
they would attend ! One person invited
v) is one Dhillon.
2.
In the past, Ambassador has not attended these
functions. It might be preferable not to set a precedent
in which the Ambassador does attend. The antecedents of
the other 'Indian' guests are also rather vague.

Kease refer to the correspondence resting with

my letter No.TOK/551/1/81 dated October 17, 1987 regarding
disposal of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's ashes.
2.
As you would be aware
ashes of Netaji are
presently being preserved in the Renko-ji Temple in Tokyo.
A ceremony is held each year on August 18 at the Temple
to honour the memory of Netaji. Members of the Netaji
Subash Chandra Bose Academy are usually present at this
function. A representative from the Embassy also attends.
3.
In the ceremony this year, Dr. S.B. Sinha, our
Counsellor (Science & Techndogy) represented the Elfbassy.
A note recorded by him on the Memorial Service is enclosed
herewith for your information.
4.
You would be aware of the controversy concerning
the death of Netaji. Some members of his family and some
political figures in West Bengal do not accept that Netaji
died in an air -crash in Taiwan. Because of this controversy
it has not been possible to take the ashes back to India
for proper disposal despite frequent requests made by the
members of the Bose Academy.
5.
An unusual feature this year was the presence of
Mrs. Bhakti Bose, wife of Mr. Salesh Chandra Bose, the
youngest brother of Netaji who just happened to be in Tokyo
at the' time of the ceremony. Mrs. Bose's son is working
with a leading national company in Tokyo. Several weeks
before the ceremony was held, Mrs. Bose had established
contact with the office bearers of the Indian Community
here and enquired about the location of:
Netaji's ashes.
She came to the Temple with her family of her own volition
to attend the ceremony.
6.
In view of the fact that a fairly close relative
of Netaji attended the ceremony, perhaps we may like to
find out what the surviving family members feel about the
disposal of the ashes.
6.
While the Renko-ji Temple is taking care of
the ashes for the present, old age continues to claim the
close Japanese associates of Netaji. Very soon none of
his associates will be alive and it is unlikely that the
care and respect that is being accorded to his memory
at present will also continue in the future.
/2
el
7.
While this is a delicate and a controversial
political issue, the eventual return of the ashes to
India is something which will have to be faced sooner
or later.
Yours sincerely,
fl'

Dear Shri Joychandra Singh,

Thank you for your letter dated November 2, 1987
regarding the remains of Netaji.
2.
Please continue your efforts with Shri Sheel Bhadra
Yajee and Dr. Sisir bose and other concerned persons so
that a national consensus on this question, as mentioned
by the then Minister of External Affairs, is evolved.
As I had mentioned to you during our discussions,
it is not at all possible for the Embassy to keep the
remains in its premises since the Government cannot get
involved in this controversy.
4.
I am endorsing a copy of this letter to the Ministry
of External Affairs, alongwith a copy of your letter. I
shall be grateful if you could consult the Ministry of
Extyrnal Affairs also in this regard.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
(Shyam Saran)

Copy to Shri R.S. Kalha, Joint Secretary(EA), Ministry
of External Affairs, New Delhi, alongwith a copy of
letter from Shri L. Joychandra Singh. The Embassy would
also suggest that the annual contribution of Yen 600,000
being made to. the Renkoji Temple may be increased to
Yen 1,000,000 (one million). This may help in fending
off pressure for removal of the remains.
Secret
Embassy of India
Tokyo
Ambassador may kindly see the enclosed letter

received from Shri L. Joychandra Singh concerning
the remains of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose which
are presently in Renkoji Temple in Tokyo.
2.
The letter may be read in conjunction with my
note of October 15, 1987 (at flag 'A').
3.
If Ambassador approves, I will send a letter to
Shri Singh, with a copy to JS(EA), suggesting that
this matter be taken up with the MEA. I would also
like to repeat in the letter our view that the Embassy
is not the appropriate place for keeping the remains.

Imphal 2 Nov 1987

Dear Shri Shyam Saran,
Would you kindly recall our discussion about
the remains of Netaji on 13 Oct 1987 at your Office.
I have been trying to help the Government of
India to solve the problem of Netaji's remains as per
letter No 1665-EAM/84 dated 21 June, 1987 of Shri P.V.
Narasimha Rao, then the Minister for External Affiars
of India ( Photo copy is enclosed herewith for easy
reference). I have discussed this matter with Shrimati
Indira Gandhi when she was alive. I have been one of her
advisors in her emergency cases.
I met Shri Sheel Bhadra Yajee, President of
All India freedom fighters Organisation who and his
organisation is reuesting to the Government of India for
bringing back of Netaji's remains to India.
I also met Dr Sisir Bose, nephew of Netaji at
Calcutta and my house at Imphal several times. I have also
met Col *lion, Col Sagal etc. Dr Sisir Bose has agreed
to me to bring the remains of Netaji to India, but
Mr
Samar Guha and some other forward Block leaders are

reported to have objected in bringing the remains of
Netaji to India stating that " Netaji did not die at
Taiphei Plane crash and he is still alive " However there
is no documentary evidence.
Meanwhile, I have received a letter from some
very responsible Japanese friends who are guarding the
remains of Netaji at Renkoji Temple in Tokyo for the last
b\A(J)L
42 years saying that they want to send it back to India.

I have discussed this matter with Dr Sisir Bose
at Calcutta, he has agreed that if Japanese are unable to
keep the remains of Netaji in Renkoji Temple, it is better
to keep it in a room of Indian Embassy till the controversy
is over. Those Japanese leaders who expressed their desire
to settle the problem refused to write letters to the Govt.
of India and Embassy of India in Tokyo saying that " it is
very delicate matter " but expressed their strong desire
to remove it from Renkoji Temple. The reason behind it as
explained to me is that Lt. General T. Katakura who is
looking after the remains is 90 years old. He is only living

General of II World War and after him 2thet4Q m,they said
there is nobody to look after the remains of Netaji. I met
Mr T. Nakai who is very old expressed the same view. They
told me repeatedly to take up this matter with the Govt. of
India and Indian Embassy in Tokyo. This is the reason why
I am writing this letter to you.
I shall be very drateful, if you kindly communicate about your observation in this matter.
After hearing from you, I want to take up this
matter with Prime Minister Shri Rajiv Gandhi who is kind
enough to responed many importent matters to me.

Dear Shri Joychandra Singh,

Please refer to your letter of 23rd May
1984, addressed to the Prime Minister, suggesting
that the remains of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose
should be brought to India from the Renkoji Temple
in Tokyo where they are at present.
As your letter itself suggests, you are aware
of the controversy surrounding this question, '
Including the serious reservations expressed by
some members of Netaji's family. This controversy
has figured in our media from time to time and
also in the Parliament.
-
I need hardly state that we all hold Netaji

In very high esteem. But, at the same time
we would be reluctant to do anything which might
only add to the controversy surrounding Netaji's
remains. Your letter gives the impression of
possible rethinking on the part of some members of
the Netaji family on this question. ,It would be
better if those members of the Netaji family who
have been opposed to this idea in the past were to
formally communicate their views to us,
particularly if they think differently now.
I fully agree with you that there should be
1
a national consensus on this question before the
---Goernthent- takes a formal deCTsion
controversy in any form is avoided at a later stage.
Any efforts on your part towards this end would be
most welcome.
With kind regards,
ours sincerely,

a recent meeting I had with Shri L. Jaychandra
Singh, a resident of Imphal and a group of
Japanese Imperial Army veterans, who visited
Imphal in December last year to honour the
memory
of those who had died there during the
war.
There are more and more Japanese

Imperial Army veterans who wish to visit this
area.
I realise that there will be both
administrative as well as security considerat i o n s t h a t w i l l h a v e t o b e t a k e n i n t o .a c c o u n t
before more visits are permitted.
However, I
believe that we can generate a great deal of
goodwill if we could facilitate more such
visits in the future.
This is particularly so
because many of these veterans are in influential
positions in Japanese industry and commerce as
well as in politics.
2.
3.
As you will note, Shri Jaychandra
Singh also raised the delicate question relating
to disposal of Netaji's ashes.
Sooner or later
we will have to deal with this problem cne way
or the other.
The Japanese individuals
concerned
seem to be getting somewhat impatient.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,
Shri R.S.Kalha,
Min. of External Affairs,
NEW DELHI.
EMBASSY OF INDIA
TOKYO
This morning, Shri L.
Jaychandra Singh, a
journalist from Imphal, came to see me.
According
to his name card, Jaychandra Singh is Chairman and
Chief Editor of a paper called Prajatantra and is
Bureau Chief of UNI in Imphal.
He claims to have
personal acquaintance with the Prime Minister as
also several other important political figures in
India.
Shri Jaychandra Singh came to speak to me about

the remains of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
He said
that he had met General Katakura (now 85) and
'General T. Akai of the former Imperial Army, who had
urged him to arrange the return of Netaji's remains,
now in
Temple, to India.
They told him that
no one was taking care of the remains and once their
generation died, th e r e m a i ns w o u l d n ot e v e n b e
honoured occasionally as at present.
Both had served
with Netaji during the war.
2.
According to Jaychandra Singh, the former

External Affairs Minister, Shri Narasimha Rao, had
written to him in 1984 to help solve the problem.
He claims to have close links with Netaji's relations
as also representatives of old Japanese Imperial
Army.
In fact, it is he who seems to have taken
the lead in organising the first ever visit by a
5 -man Japanese delegation to Imphal late last year
3.
for memorial services.

Jaychandra Singh said that one of the suggestions
made was that remains could be temporarily kept in
the Embassy in Tokyo pending a final resolution of
the controversy surrounding them.
He asked what our
4.
reaction would be.

I told Mr. jaychandra Singh that the question
of disposal of the remains was a delicate one since
it also involved the surviving relatives of Netaji.
It was not appropriate for the Government to get
involved in the controversy and for this reason there
would be no question of the remains being kept in
the Embassy.
I said we understood the anxiety of
the old Japanese associates of Netaji to see a proper
5.
resting place for his remains.

As before we would
counsel a little patience and understanding while
the matter is sorted out in India among the people
concerned.
Jaychandra Singh said he would, on his return
to India, meet officials of our Ministry as well as
the relatives of Netaji to find a solution to this
6.
...2
C O N F A -D E N T I A L .
:
: -
"delicate" question.
I told him I would report
our meeting to Ambassador and our Ministry for
their information.
Jaychandra Singh later brought several
Japanese gentlemen to see me.
These included three
members of the old Japanese Imperial Army who had
fought in the Burma theatre - Mr. Yutaka Kobayashi
(retired Electrical Engineer), T. Shimoda (Kokusai
Futo Co.), T. Ishigami (works as Interpreter in
the U.S.Embassy) and A. Isoda.
Of these, Kobayashi
& Isoda were members of the 5 -member group which
visited Imphal last year.
Shri Jaychandra Singh
had played host and facilitated their travel.
7.
I explained to the group the problem involved

in shifting Netaji's remains from Tokyo to India at
present, involving as does the sensitivities of
Netaji's family members.
I expressed gratitude to
all the old associates of Netaji who still cherished
his memory and continued to look after and revere
his remains.
They seemed to understand our difficulties.
At any rate they made no comment.
8.
Mr. Shimoda said that a number of old Japanese

soldiers were very keen to visit Kohima and Imphal
and requested our assistance.
I said it should be
possible for small groups to go, though we were
hampered by lack of facilities in the areas concerned.
At any rate, I promised all possible assistance.
Shimoda and his colleagues expressed their appreciation.
9.
10. I briefed our visitors on the Festival of India.

They showed very keen interest and said they would
like to inform other colleagues of the forthcoming
event.
Old soldiers of the Imperial Army have
several associations & societies which meet regularly
and publish their own newsletters.
Shimoda gave me
a copy of one such newsletter (of the 33rd Mountain
Artillery Corps of the old Imperial Army), which
carries a report on the visit to Imphal by the
5 -member group (A copy is attached).
Shimoda
promised to publicise the Festival through such
newsletters.
I asked them to come and visit us
again in the future.
Shri Jaychandra was very happy that I had
received this group of Japanese, who had apparently
been somewhat diffident and uncertain about coming
11.
to the Embassy.
They seemed pleased and honoured
to be received at the Embassy and displayed genuine
.3
CDNFIUNTIAL
3
friendliness and affection for India.

12. We may inform EA Division of Shri Jaychandra
Singh's visit and his reference to the problem of
Netaji's remains.
EA Division could also explore
with the Manipur Government and with the Home
M i n i s t r y t h e p r o s p e c t s o f f a c i l i t a t i n g. m o r e v i s i t s
by Japanese to Kohima and Imphal.
This would earn
us a great deal of goodwill among an influential
section of Japanese society.

My dear
Thank you for yo)
letter no.C/551/13/81-JP
dated February 18, 1987 regarding the visit of

the Chief Priest of the Renkoji Temple to India.
2.
In deference to the instructions of Secretary,
wl shall no longer pursue the matter of the Chief

Priest's visit to India.
However, if he wishes to
travel to India on his own initiative, there is

not much that we can do to prevent it.
Nor will
it be possible for us to ignore it.

3.
In my letter of even no. dated February 6,
1987, I had enquired from you whether the question

of Netaji's ashes was brought up during the recent
visit to India by Netaji's daughter.
I wonder,
if you have been able to get any information in

this regard.
Yours sincerely,
(Shyha(/Saran)

My dear
Please refer to your 3,,etec No. TOK/753/1/85
dated February 6, 1987, regarding the visit of the
Chief Priest of the Renkoji Temple to India.
2.
The Mission, it seems, has appreciated the
sensitivities involved in arranging a visit to
India by the Chief Priest, but at the same time has
suggested that we should help the priest to make a
visit to India privately. It is our view that the
Chief Priest's visit, in any capacity, may raise
a controversy on the question of Netaji's ashes.
We would like to avoid this by all means. We, therefore, do not want that it should be encouraged.
While we cannot put a ban on the visit to India by
Rev. Kyoji Mochizuki, we should make every effort
to avoid such a visit. The Mission need not take
any initiative in this regard, and should let the
matter rest.

C?551/13/81-JP dated 28th January, 1987 regarding
the visit to India of Rev. Kyoji Mochizuki, the
Chief Priest of Renkoji Temple.
2.
We are aware of the sensitivities involved
in arranging a visit to India by the Chief Priest.
Certainly, it would be adviseable for us not to
be officially associated with such a visit. However,
since he has expressed a keen desire to visit India
and since his cooperation is important for us, we
would suggest an alternative which you could consider.
We could make available to him a one time gift of
say Y 1,000,000 which would be adequate for him to
finance a one -week or ten-day Buddhist pilgrimage
tour of India of the kind organised by several
Japanese travel agencies.
3.
I have also discussed with Ambassador the
size of our contribution to the Temple.
As you
ar wd W ar e , t he Te m pl e i s b e in g p a id an an n ua l
contribution of Y 600,000. The su m is quite
adequate and r.teed pot be increaped at this stage.
However, we may reconsider if and when there
are pressures from the Chief Priest.
4.
We have seen from the Indian newspapers that
Netajiis.daughter has recently been in India. We
wonder it she has any views with regard to her
father's ashes which are being kept in Renkoji
Temple.

dated January 9, 1987, regarding the visit to India

2.
We have gone into all aspects of your proposal
but considering the sensitivities, we feel that there
is need for care in arranging such a visit to India.
Even if we do our best to organise and "control" his
programme there is no way for us to ensure that his
visit would not raise a controverv on the question
of Netaji's ashes. It would, therefore, be better
to avoid such a visit.
3.
However, we do not wish to look ungrateful for
all that the Renkoji Temple has done and would wish to
acknowledge Rev. Mochizuki's services. Perhaps you
may wish to increase the size of our contribution as
a special gesture or make a special one-time gift on
a special occasion. We would leave it to you to
decide.

My dear
Please refer to Qfpl.fespondence resting with our letter
of even no. dated 27th December, 1985 regarding Renkoji Temple
where the ashes of Netaji Subhash Bose are kept.
2.
You would be aware that we have been making a small
contribution each year to the Temple for keeping the ashes
of Netaji Subhash Bose. I had gone to the Temple on
Tuesday, January 6, to hand over the contribution as
well as to make the acquaintence of the Chief Priest,
Rev. Kyoji Mochizuki. During the course of our conversation,
the Chief Priest mentioned to me his desire to pay a visit
to India, including places associated with Netaji as well
as places of Budhist pilgrimage. Apparently, he had expressed
a similar wish to my predecessor in October, 1985 just before
the visit of our Prime Minister. The then DCM had promised 0./14,
to arrange such a visit for him at an early date. However,
it appears from our file that D O follow-up action was taken.
3.
We have been in a sense beholden to the Temple for
taking care of the ashes of Netaji during the past few
years. Even though there have been several moves to
persuade the Government of India to accept the ashes,
this has not come about for reasons well known to you.
In the circumstances, it is felt that inviting the Chief
Priest for a brief visit to India would be a befitting
gesture on our part. The visit could be arranged under
the aegis of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations.
4.
I shall be grateful to hear your response to this
proposal.

Sir,
I have read with deep regret the Press
report about the passing away of General
Iwaichi Fujiwara. His association with the
Indian leader, Netaji Subash Chandra Bose,
is well-known
and will remain in our
memory.
His concern and friendship for
India has always been a source of strength
to us in this Embassy.
We mourn his passing
away.
I would be grateful if you could kindly
convey our sympathies to the family of
Gen. Iwaichi Fujiwara.
Yours faithfully

Fujiwara, Friend
To India, Dies At 77
lwaichi Fujiwara, who helped
create the Indian national independence army during World
War II, died Monday at a Tokyo
hospital of cancer of the
gallbladder, his family said
Tuesday. He was 77.
Fujiwara, a former general of
the Ground Self -Defense Force
of Japan, was known as a close
friend of Subhas Chandra Bose,
a prominent leader of the
wartime movement for Indian
independence from British rule.
As a major in the Japanese
Imp e ri a l Army, Fuj iwa ra
participated in the occupation
of Malaya under army comm a n d e r Ge n . T o m o yu k i

Fujiwara became the first

Netaji is Bose's honorific title.

January 23, 1986
My d ea r
Please refer to your letter No.C/551/1 3/81-JP
dated 15.1.86 regarding the ashes of Netaji Subash
Chandra Bose in Renkoji temple, Tokyo.
2.
I am sorry that my letter of 27th December
1985 has created difficulties for you.
I fully
understand the sensitive nature of the problem and
accept the wisdom of leaving things alone.
But the
status quo which you would like to continue is
precarious.
An important factor is that Gen.Katakura,
Chairman of the Subash Chandra Bose Academy, is about
85 years old.
When I met Mr. Fujio, a senior LDP
member last October, he spoke strongly in favour of
India finding a home for the ashes, since they could
not be safely kept in Japan indefinitely.
(Extracts
of DCM's note enclosed).
3.
You have referred to our discussions in Delhi
l a s t A u g u s t , a s a r e u u l t o f w h i c h I h a d m o d.:fi ed my
vi ew s , a l; I s ai d i n m y l et t er of 2 7 th De c em b er .
I
had informed you of my conversation with Shri P.V.
Narasimha Rao, who, it is true, had broadly supported
your approach.
But he had also agreed that we should
a d d r e s s t h e p r o b l e m s o m e time Or o t h e r .
4.
During PM's visit to Japan, there was no
trip to Renkoji temple. I was not told why it was
dropped.
Till the delegation left Tokyo pn 30th
November 1985, there was a chance of the trip being
made.
All I knew was that there was a change of
mind in Delhi after the meeting between Secretary(East)
and Secretary to PM on 30 October 1985, wherein it
had been decided that the Renkoji visit would be
a private one. There was no time for us to discuss
the matter during the visit, otherwise I would have
sf1.4
-2-
sought Secretary(East)'s views in detail.

5.
I was hoping you would fill me in on the thinking at
headquarters.
Instead, you have written in a rather
reproachful tone. You must have meant it for my goodlest I be blamed for raising a political hornet's nett.
But consider my dilemma: it is embarrassing if I raise the
problem and equally so if I do nothing.
0 CI
t
6.
The point is that we cannot rely on the status quo
continuing for some more years. One of your predecessors,
Shri Ranjit Sethi, had_ptt it more forcefully than I have
done, in his note dated- 2 . 1 2 . 1 9 8 1 .
The Subash Bose centenary
comes up in 1997, and I hope this will be resolved by then.
6.
Kindly explain these difficulties to Secretary(East).
I am content to follow the line of least resistance and
accept your counsel of letting things be for the present.

dated 27th December, 1985 regarding the ashes of
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
2.
I am sure you are fully aware of the
sensitivities of this case. This matter was
discussed extensively during your last visit
to New Delhi in August, 1985 and you had also
indicated that you had met and received the views
of Shri P.V.Narasimha Rao, our former External
Affairs Minister, in this connection. You had
indicated that you understood the implications
and that there was no need to alter the status quo
and that the matter be allowed to rest.
3.
The file as well as your letter were
shown and discussed with Secretary(E) who has
indicated that it is incomprehensible why the
matter should be raised again. He has asked
me to inform you of the above and would therefore
be grateful that the position indicated above is
maintained.
Yours sincerely,
(R.S. Kalha).
Shri A. Madhavan,
Ambassador of India,
Tokyo.
Mr. Fujio then said that he had one request to

make to the Ambassador.
This was about the ashes of
Netaji Bose whom he admired as a great statesman.
It
is 40 years now since the War and most of the friends
of Bose have passed away.
It is impossible now to
take care of his ashes in a proper manner.
He added
that he was aware of difficulties that our Government
had in accepting the ashes and understood them.
If
the Government had some difficulty, it would be worthwhi]
to see whether a private group of Netaji's friends and
associates in India could come to Japan and take over
the ashes so that they are kept with the respect due
to them because it may become difficult later in Japan.

Renkoji Temple, where the ashes of Netaji Subhash Bose
are kept.
2.
As you know, P.M. did not go to the Temple
during his visit to Tokyo from 28th to 30th November 1985,

although a privace visit Co the Temple had been earlier
envisaged by us.
3.
The. problem of defining our attitude remains.
I hope you will be able to oUtain some guidelines from the

Secretaries and Hint
ers, perhaps on the basis of paragraph
6 of my letter No.TOK/457/1/85, dated : 10( Actober 1985.
In
my earlier letter of even number dated 12 July 1985, I had

suggested that the daughter of Subhash Cnandra dose may
also be consulted.
Perhaps the best way:io have a non-
official committee of public figures co deal with the

question of funding a suitable memorial for Nntaji Subhash
Bose in India.

the visit to the Renkoji Temple and on the
ambivalence of the Japanese attitude in regard
to India, which you have analysed so well.
2.
As far as the visit to the Renkoji Temple
is concerned, it will be a private visit, as
agreed in a meeting this morning with Smt. Sarla
Grewal, Secretary to PM. Let me also assure you
that I am in full agreement with para 4 of your
letter that "the Embassy should be a HiFi channel
of communications" reflecting all the nuances of
the bilateral relationship. I admire your comment
to Kawamura that "reciprocity on negative points
should not predominate over reciprocity on positive
points".

October 15, 1985
Our Second Secretary, Shri Gurjit Singh, spoke

to the people concerned with the Renkoji Temple in
the context of our decision to have the Prime Minister
visit there during his forthcoming official visit.
Without informing them that such a decision has been
taken, Gurjit Singh enquired about the kind of event
that the Netaji Academy has in mind if such a visit
is to occur.
The reply was that a few members of the
Netaji Academy will receive the Prime Minister and
show him around but he added that the Chairman may
mention the strong desire of the Academy and the Temple
to send the ashes back to India.
You would have seen
Ambassador's letter no.TOK/457/1/85 dated 10th October
to Secretary(East) on the exchanges that we have with
the Gaimusho in this context.
I had already told Gurjit
Singh that we should advise the Renkoji people against
any petitioning or pleading on this matter because of
domestic complications of the issue.
Gurjit Singh
informed his visitor that while recognising the reverence
the Japanese have for the ashes of Netaji Bose, we would
strongly be against any request regarding the disposal
of the ashes being made to the Prime Minister and this
was agreed to.
2.
Ambassador has asked me to bring this to your
attention.
While finalising the arrangements for the
Prime Minister to visit Renkoji, we may button down
some details carefully.
Firstly, we should make up
our mind about the nature of the visit; whether it
will be a private visit or part of the official itinerary
As far as Prime Minister Smt. Gandhi's visit in 1969
is concerned, it was included in the programme and the
details are as follows :
"June 25 (Wed); 5.45 p.m.

H.E. the Prime Minister
of India will be met by Rev.Kyoji Mochizuki,
Chief Priest of Renkoji Temple.
H.E. the Prime Minister of India and her party
will be led to the main building of the Temple
then to the Tea House.
At the main building, Rev. Mochizuki will give
a memorial service for the late Netaji Subas
Chandra Bose and H.E. the Prime Minister of India
will offer incense."
t29
-2-
3.
The above arrangement does not leave any ,
time for debates with the keepers of the ashes
and should be acceptable to us.
We should also
note the requirement of press coverage in India
in the context of the Parliamentary session which
would be current during the visit.

I immediately conveyed our decision to the
Gaimusho. Kawamura had spoken to Iyer on 7.10.85 and
expressed the Japanese preference for oatILI:Wag this
item from the programme. I enclose Iyer's note. On
the 8th, when I mentioned to Kawamura that the Indian
side would like to include Renkoji Temple in the programme,
Kawamura alluded to his conversation with Iyer and implied
that the Government of India was taking a somewhat inconsistent stand. To explain, the point he was making was
that the Indian Prime Minister going to the Renkoji temple
did not square well with the Indian Government's consistent
refusal over the years to accept the return of the ashes
of Netaji. I told him frankly that we had our own internal
sensitivities to consider. When Shri Nehru and Smt.Indira
Gandhi had gone to the Temple during their visits to japan,
there would be an expectation in some quarters in India
that Shri Rajiv Gandhi should also do so. As for the
return of the ashes, I explained that, in view of the
controversies it might Ignite in India, we found it prudent
to continue existing arrangements for the maintenance of
the urn containing ashes in the Renkoji Temple. He
accepted the logic quLte well.
3
. Gaimusho's hesitation about Renkoji Temple may
be due to the association of Netaji with the Japanese
war -time leaders. This is a super -sensitive issue which
the Japanese would like to forget, except that it obtrudes
into current politics on such symbolic occasions as the
visit on August 15, 1985 by Prime Minister Nakasone to the
Yasukmuni Shrine. China has made sure that the world know!
about its extreme sensitivity over any tendency on Japan's
part to honour its war -time leaders, even in the guise of
honouring war dead. One of the objectives of current Abe':
Mission is to assuage Chinese feelingon this score. We
have just heard that Nakasone is passing up another occasi(
on October 17, to visit the Yasukmuni Shrine. He told the
Foreign Correspondents Club on 7th October that the matter
had been referred for study to senior advisers. In this
context, the Japanese perhaps fear that our PM's visit to
the Renkoji Temple may provoke some associated memories

I am enclosing the translation of a letter received

from the Chairman of Subhash Chandra Bose Academy suggesting
that the Prime Minister visit the Renkoji Temple where
the ashes of Netaji Bose are kept.
In
fv
2.
Ministry is fully aware of the status of the ashes
which have been the subject of debate in India in the
past because of the firm faith of many people in our
country that Netaji Bose did not die in the Taipei air
crash soon after the surrender of Japan in the war.
However,
we make a modest contribution annually to the proper upkeep
of the ashes which the Japanese say are those of Netaji
Bose through the disdretionary funds available with the
Ambassador.
3.
As far as visits to the temple are concerned, most
of the leaders who made official visit in Japan in the
past have been to the Renkoji Temple.
Prime Minister
Nehru and Prime Minister Smt. Gandhi were there during
their official visits in 1957 and 1969 respectively.
President Rajendra Prasad who visited Japan a little
after Prime Minister Nehru also visited the Temple.
So
did Foreign Ministers, S/Shri A.B. Vajpayee and P.V.
Narasimha Rao, during their visits for bilateral talks
in 1978 and 1982.
4.
So much for the facts which provide adequate precedents
At the same time, we should note that the generation which
had associations with the Netaji is rapidly passing from
the scene and the majority of the Japanese do not have
any memories or sensitivities about this matter.
The
Embassy is represented in the ceremonies held in the
Temple on August 18 and 19 every year to mark the passing
away of the Netaji.
During the past few years, we find
th a t t h e o n l y p e o p l e w h o v i s i t a r e r e t i r e d m e m b e r s o f t h e
Imperial Armed Forces or Civil or Intelligence Services
who had personal acquaintence or working relationship with
Netaji Bose or the INA.
This is obviously a fast diminishinl
group and, in spite of being a genuine link in the past,
somewhat tangential to our concerns at present.
From the
point of view of impact on the public or on the administrati(
of friendly relationships, our assessment is that this will
be of marginal utility.
The other aspects I have mentioned'
above, like the history of the visits as well as the facts
... 2
-2-
regarding Bose in the internal context of India have to

be taken into account by the Ministry in making a
final recommendation on this matter to the Prime
Minister.

I would be grateful to be kept informed.

Your Exellency,
It is my great pleasure and honour to have the chance to

meet you at your office on July 4th '85 in connection with the holy
ashes of late Netajee Subhas Chandra Bose.
I am sincerely wishing the said ashes will be laid down in

appropriate corner of Indian soil for the peaceful sole of Netajee by

M y de a r
During your visit here, I somehow omitted to raise a
question which has been pending for many years, the return of
the ashes of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
There is some
correspondence on the subject and you must be more familiar with
the background than myself.
General Katakura came to see me on July 4 along with two
of his assistants in the Netaji Subash Chandra Bose Academy.
He is now more than 80 years old.
Af t e r g i v i n g m e so m e i n t e r e s t i n g '
g l i m p s e s o f S u b a s h C h a n d r a B o s e i n J a p a n d u r i n g w a r t i m e , he
pressed me to request Government of India to accept the return
of the ashes, since he would not live much longer. I parried
this by referring to the dilemma which the Government of India
would have in accepting the ashes.
The General said that
Netaji's brother, who had opposed the return of the ashes
could now be more receptive. Shri Shah Nawaz Khan had died two
years ago.
He had believed that the urn in Renkoji Temple did
contain the ashes of Subash Chandra Bose. So had the Khosla
Commission.
My predecessor had noted all this and emphasised the point
that our Government would come in for ciiticism in case the
remains of Subash Chandra Bose were not properly cared for in
Japan in course of time.
But h._ was a l s o c o n c e r n e d a b o u t t h e
objection raised by Subash Bose's elder brother.
In my view, the time has come for us to consider the question
more positively.
Irrespective of the Government,
India esteems
Netaji Subash Chandra Bose as a historic figure,'a patriot, who
deserves national respect.
The Government, to my mind, shares
this view.
In that caseapit would be unforgivable for India to
be indifferent to the question of the custody of Netaji Subash
Chandra Bose's remains.
There is a moral obligation for us,
no t o n ly t o ac c e p t t h e r e tu r n o f t h e as h e s , bu t t o k r e s s f o r i t
and to preserve them in a suitable memorial.
The Inaction amounts
to neglect, which is not in keeping with our traditions.
The
genuineness of the ashes has been established by sufficient
evidence in two enquiries conducted by the Government of India.
It is no l on g er a m a tt e r o f d E ff e r ri n g t o t h e! g sh e s o f o n e
relative of Subash Chandra Bose.
Another aspect on the family side is that Subash Chandra
Bose was married ii Austria and has a daughter, who is now
reported to be living in America.
Government is aware of this.
I do no t kn ow wh e th er he r w is h es ha ' b e e n c o n s u l t e d .
If so,
kindly let me know what they are.
General Katakura also asked us to participate in the
observance of the anniversary of Netaji Subash Chandra Bose's
death on 18th August.
He lamented that the Japanese Foreign
Mi n i s t r y n o l o n g e r s e n d a r e p r e s e n t a t i v e o n t h i s o c c a s i o n .
We shall send someone from the Embassy.

I hope you will raise the matter again for a

final decision. The options are:-
(i)
To accept the return of the ashes and to preserve

them suitably in a memorial in India, under the
auspices of the Government of India;
(ii)

Dear Mr.Ambassador,
The Japanese Embassy while calling on the Division

in connection with other matters, handed over to us a
petition as received by their Foreign Office from the
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Academy, Tokyo, Japan. A
copy of the petition pertaining to the return of the
ashes of late Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to India is
enclosed and is self-explanatory.
While handing over the petition, Mr. Endo, the
First Secretary stated that while the Government of
Japan understood India's position in this regard,
simultaneously, however, they were sympathetic to
the views expressed by the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose
Academy in Tokyo.
The above is for your information and we shall pursue
this further here.
With kind regards,
Yours sincerely,

May 25, 1982
Please refer to your letter No. TOK/551/1/81

of May 14 conveying what Mr. A.M. Nair has told you
about Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's family's attitude
to the ashes at Renkoji Temple.
2.
In fact our background notes on the subject have
alluded to the attitude of Subhash Chandra Bose's brother
to the ashes. This is one of the reasons why it has been
politically difficult for us to take a decision to get
the ashes back. Perhaps we did not sufficiently draw
your attention to this when showing you the papers here
in Delhi.
3.
Of course we have recommended the return of the
ashes notwithstanding the objections of the immediate
family; this is because the ashes have been looked after
as Netaji's ashes and, thus, we seem to have a sort of
moral obligation to relieve the Japanese of this responsibility.
If returned we could, of course, ourselves decide what to do
with them. They could be kept stored until a final decision
is taken. Two Government appointed Commissions of Inquiry
(The Shah Nawaz Commission of 1956 and the Khosla Commission
of 1970) have concluded that the ashes at the Renkoji Temple
are Netaji's. This, however, has not eliminated the
controversy. Everything considered I believe that we should
still be in favour of bringing the ashes back.

Netaji.

We have had much correspondence on this subject

and I have put forward the suggestion that goverment should
receive the ashes without making a comeitment that they are
,those of ubhash Chandra Boee. I sugeestedkin order to preclude the possibility that government would be criticised if
the ashes were to disappear altogether.
2.
I have now heard from Mr. A.M. Nair that even Netaji
Subhash Chandradose's family does not accept the ashes as
genuine. Mr, Nair says this is wellotknown in Delhi. I had not
known this or, if I had, its significance had escaped me. It
now seems to me that if the family itself questions the ashes,
then kbt government has a very strong case for.not accepting
tem back for the present and for refuting criticism should they
be lost. Thus my recommendation loses much of its strength.
J,
F o r my information, I would be glad to know whether

3.
it was in the Ministry's knowledge that the ashes were not
accepted as genuine by the Bose family. (I am also checking in
the mission). I do not recollect seeing this fact mentioned in
any of the notes prepared for the Foreign Minister.
4.'
Mr. Nair also reminds me that on no occasion has the

Japanese authorities themselves asked us to accept the ashes.
They had also refused their cooperation to ouv Enquiry Commissions, Nairls explanation is that this Is because the Japanese
Foreign Ministry also has its doubts about the ashes.
.
Nair states further that once the ashes are received
the priest can claim a very large sum for looking after them
hitherto, but on this subject I should think we will not be
stung because we have been paying regulrly to.the temple already,
5.
6.
Incidentally, Mr. Nair is the author of the book

which has recently appeared, 'L.n Indian Freedom Fighter in Japan".
It is a fascinating book and shows Nair to have been a man or
unimpeachable integrity and a great patriot. Unfortunately,
without knowing his background, one thinks of him only as the
owner of a restaurant

Gen. Katakura handed over the attached letter

In making the request that India receives the

The Remains of the Late Subhas Chandra Bose is at present, as you
know well, kept enshrined in Renkoji Temple, Nakano, Tokyo.
We shall be much obliged if you could repatriate the remains of the
Late Subhas Chandra bose to India at your

Since August 18th 1945, when Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose passed away
owing to an air crash at Taipei Air Port, 37 years have passed and September
18th 1946 , the remains and the Ashes of Netaji was brought and enshrined in
Renkoji, Nakano, Tokyo. Thereafter about. 10 years after all those who were :
concerned with Netaji used to gather and offer prayers every year on the death
anniversary day the August 18th
In May 1956, Netaji's fact finding team headed by Cen.Shah Nawaz Khan visited
Tokyo and further more, Prime Minister .of India, the Late Pandit J. Nehru also
visited Renknji in October 1957. Preceding to that more interest has been
intesified by various circle of Japanese people and on 23rd January 1948, the
Netaji's Birthday anniversary, our Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose Accademy was
organised headed by Mr. Keizo Shibusawa.
Since then this Academy used to obeerved Netaji's birhtday party on 23rd
January and Death Anniversary on 18th August every year.
Thirty years have passed since the first president of the Academy and to

28th December* 21
I was clad to see the comprehensive

note prepared by Attache ,anapathi on the
question of the return of the ashes of Netaji
Subhash Chandra Bose.
I see it, the principal difficulty
AWIttmapi.swin accepting the return of the ashes
has been the controversy over his death, which
has assumed political overtones. In
decision that they be accepted, ti-,erefore, I
think it woad be useful to emphasise the political difficulties that will arise if the ashes
were to be lost. The possibility of disappearance
Is mentioned in para I1(v) of the note, but I
think that.lt would be just as well to emphasise/
whenever discussion of this subject takes place,'
igr the political difficulties which will be
caused by such disappearance.
( K . P #S, Menem)
Shri S.3. Gill,
Deputy :jecretary(
Ministry of L.A.,
N
4)e141.
In the above note Attache(JK) has reviewed

the question of the ashes of Netaji :;tibash aandra
Bose which are in Japan. At Sl.o.1 is a letter from
our Ambassador, dated September 17 in which he has
strongly recommended that we proceed to take a decision
early.
2.
Further delay is bringing to us embarrassment
which goes beyond discomfiture to being almost disgrace.
A Japanese monk. the Rev.Mochizuke, accepted custody of
the ashes in 1)45. He ensured their safety for over
34 years. He died in 1179, his wish that the ashes
find a permanent resting place unfulfilled.
3.
Secretary knots the full background.
4.
I think the view Should be taken that, whatever
be the controversy over the circumstances of Netaji's
death, it is incumbent upon Government to accept the
ashes; and notwithstanding the likelihood that until
the question of Netaji's death is finally resolved, the
ashes will tend to be ignored and, therefore, find a
lees congenial environment here than in Japan.
5.
I am told that other articles that belonged
to Netaji - sword, treasures, have been returned to
India in spite of the doubts in some quarters about his
death.
6.
The moral obligation on us now is not so much
to accept that the ashes in Japan are !:etaji's, but to
accept the return of the ashes to India whether they are
or not.
7.
Foreign Minister intended t':) take this up at
a consulttive committee meting. The matter has,
unfortunately remained pending. It appears the main
difficulty,
in spite .
of the jefinitive flndings of the
_
two commissions, is th7 t Shri Samar Guha has
a.
ei
expressed doubts about. the ashes in the Lok Sabha.

There also seen to have been some doubt in the
minds of the immediate family of i:etaji. However,
the findinips of the k:hosla k.:orluission were quite
clear.
8.
Our Ambas,;ador in Jaan,

K.P.S.
able to discuss this nuestion with PI when he was
recently in Delhi for consultations. The note recorded by the Ambescador on his conversation is below
(Flag X). FM has suggested the ,lossibility of the
National Museum receiving the ashes. He means to
discuss this course of action suitably.
