Govt's move to install Netaji's statue at the India Gate is highly commendable. But the most important issue is to declassify all secret intelligence R&AW and IB documents related to Netaji, however explosive it may be. It may have serious repurcursions and perhaps the historical "satya-ahimsa-freedom" hoax built and funded heavily over decades and people involved in the deliberate narrative change may be exposed. Secrecy on Netaji files, is a statement on how as nation, we treat our liberators.

In our freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947 there are so many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives. No text books in schools or colleges never mentions their names. Even we cannot know about so many kings and queens fought against mughals, britishers. We should know about our great kings , Queens and their kingdoms. We don’t know about our INA Azad Hindu fauz heroes.Govt should take initiative to create awareness of these heroes by mentioning their history in Books and by creating awareness campaigns

Subhas Chandra Bose, affectionately called as Netaji, was one of the most prominent leaders of Indian freedom struggle. Though Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru have garnered much of the credit for successful culmination of Indian freedom struggle, the contribution of Subash Chandra Bose is no less. He has been denied his rightful place in the annals of Indian history. He founded Indian National Army (Azad Hind Fauj) to overthrow British Empire from India and came to acquire legendary status among Indian masses.
