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 his CV at 'A'. He brought with him a
letter written in Japanese by Mr. Yoshiro Mori pertaining to the
remains 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:
Remains of Netaji Subash 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 to 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 organising the DNA test. Following tests, she plans to take remains from
Tokyo to India. Although she has not decided how exactly to deal with the remains
in India, she has stated that at least part of
remains will 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 involved in the return of her father's remains. She has stated 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
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 willingness 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.

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
5.441
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 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 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
President

Dear ProfAzurna,
Thank you for your letter of 5th October, 2 0 0 5 which I
have seen on my return from a visit to New York.
We deeply appreciate the contribution you have been
making for many years now for promoting Japan -India
relations, in particular our cultural interaction. I am sure that
abs jo,p n-India Culture Centre being built at Kolkata with
. your. help, will be an important symbol of the growing
friendshic between our two countries.
2.
I am 'very happy to learn that the Netaji Subhas Open

University is going to confer the D.Litt. Degree, Honoris
6ausa, on you. Please accept my warmest congratulations on
this well deserved recognition.

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, former
Prime 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 Tagore
Association.
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 Government
of 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 the
course 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 former
Prime 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 action 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 is
constantly under consideration by the Government and people of India; that it is
Government's intention that the wishes of Netaji's family are respected in the matter
and 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).

It may be recalled that earlier this year, Prime Minister had

received a letter dated April 28, 2006 from Mr. Yoshiro Mori, former
Prime Minister of Japan and President of the Indo-Japanese
Association, regarding the purported mortal remains of Netaji Subhas
Chandra Bose being kept at the Renkoji Temple in Tokyo. In the
letter, Mr. Mori mentioned that the remains had not been returned to
India mainly because of the "delicate domestic circumstances in India".
However, Professor Kazuo Azuma, a Board Member of the
Association, had told him that Mrs. Krishna Bose, President of the
Netaji Institute and a close relative of the Netaji, felt strongly that
considering the "changed circumstances in India", his remains should
be returned to his "fatherland". Mr. Mori expressed the hope that PM
would pay attention to the wishes of the Bose family and take
appropriate steps accordingly. In his reply dated July 14, 2006, PM
assured Mr. Mori that he had taken note of the points made by the
latter and that those would be looked into. (A copy of Mr. Mori's letter
and PM's reply is enclosed for reference.)

During a meeting with Joint Secretary (EA), MEA on October 12,
2006, the Japanese Ambassador also raised the issue of the return of
the ashes of Netaji to India. Referring to the letters exchanged
between PM and Mr. Mori, he remarked that the latter had continued
to evince interest in early return of the ashes of "Chandra Bose" to
India. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was a protg of Yoshiro Mori and in
fact belonged to his faction in the ruling LDP. Giving this background,
the Japanese Ambassador enquired whether it would be alright if this
issue was raised by PM Abe during our PM's visit to Japan in
December 2006. In response, Joint Secretary (EA) discouraged the
idea and suggested that if necessary, the matter could be discussed at
the official level during the preparations for PM's visit. The Japanese
Ambassador took note of the suggestion but remarked that the ashes
could not remain in Japan indefinitely.
3.
Separately, Prof. Kazuo Azuma, who is a well-known Tagore
scholar and Secretary General of Japan -India Tagore Association, has
met our Ambassador in Tokyo recently to discuss the Renkoji issue. A
copy of a fax message from the Embassy of India, Tokyo, forwarding a
copy of a note handed over by Prof. Azuma to the Ambassador, is
enclosed.
In the note, Prof. Azuma has, inter alia, conveyed,
v),o7.0
SECRET
"Although this exchange of letters has taken place at Mr. Mori's very
personal initiative, he expressed his personal willingness to
recommend the Japanese Government to enter into an official contact
with the Indian Government in this regard. I have learned that Mr. Mori
has, through one of his assistants, already briefed Mr. Shinzo Abe, the
present P.M. and has recommended to go ahead on this issue in the
overall context of the policy to further strengthen friendly relations
between our two countries.
All I hope personally is that my
Government and yours should now settle the Netaji legacy of over
sixty years".
4.
It may be recalled that the purported mortal remains of Netaji
Subhas Chandra Bose were taken to Tokyo after his reported death in
a plane crash in Taihoku (Taipei) on August 18, 1945.
The
circumstances of Netaji's death/disappearance have been a matter of
controversy. A three -member Enquiry Committee, headed by Shri
Shah Nawaz Khan, which was appointed by the Government of India
in April 1956, came to the conclusion that Netaji had died in the abovementioned plane crash and his ashes were kept in the Renkoji Temple
in Tokyo; one of the members of the Committee, however, submitted a
dissenting report stating that there had been no plane crash involving
Netaji's death. The majority report was accepted by the Government
of India. However, as the controversy persisted, another Enquiry
Commission, headed by Justice G.D. Khosla, was appointed in July
1970 to look into the matter. The Commission also came to the
conclusion that Netaji had succumbed to injuries sustained in the
plane crash at Taihoku and that his ashes had been taken to Tokyo.
5.
The Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry, which was
appointed in May 1999, to enquire once again into all the facts and
circumstances related to the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra
Bose in 1945 and subsequent developments connected therewith, has
come to a different conclusion in its report submitted in November
2005. The Commission has concluded: (a) "Netaji Subhas Chandra
Bose is dead"; (b) "he did not die in the plane crash, as alleged"; and
(c) "the ashes in the Japanese Temple are not of Netaji". On the issue
of the ashes in the Renkoji Temple, Justice Mukherjee has made the
following finding:
"As regards the journey of the ashes collected by Habibur
Rahman from the crematorium at Taipei to the Renkoji Temple in
Japan the evidence is consistent and, therefore, needs no
discussions.
ashes lying in that Temple cannot be of Netaji. On the contrary,
(S3
SECRET
the presence of bones in the ashes as noticed by officers of

Indian Embassy in Tokyo is a circumstance which corroborates
that those cannot but be of lchiro Okura. Considered in that
backdrop, the inability of the Commission to subject the mortal
remains to DNA test in the circumstances beyond its control has
not stood in the way of recording its conclusive finding in that
evidence on record".
6.
The main findings of the Justice Mukherjee Commission of
Inquiry have not, however, been accepted by the Government of India.
The Memorandum of Action Taken on the Report, placed in
Parliament, states as follows:
"The Government have examined the Report submitted by the
Commission on 8th November, 2005 in detail and have not
agreed with the findings that (a)
(b)
Netaji did not die in the plane crash; and

The ashes in the Renkoji Temple were not of Netaji".
7.
It may also be mentioned that the Ministry of External Affairs has
been providing financial assistance to the Renkoji Temple in Tokyo
since 1967 for the upkeep of the urn containing the ashes of Netaji.
So far, a total amount of Rs. 53,66,278/- has been given to the
Temple, through our Embassy in Tokyo from the Special Diplomatic
Expenditure budget of the Ministry.
Since 2002, an annual
contribution of Yen 1 million (equivalent to Rs. 4,30,000/- in 2005) is
being provided. (A tabulation showing year -wise contribution to the
Renkoji Temple is enclosed.) It may also be added here that the Head
Priest of the Renkoji Temple, Rev. Nichiko Mochizuki, who called on
our Ambassador in Tokyo on October 16, 2006, did not ask for the
return of the ashes to India. A copy of fax message received from the
Ambassador on the meeting is enclosed.
8.
If this matter is raised again by the Japanese side in official
interactions with reference to former PM Mori's letter to PM, it is
proposed to convey to them that the Government of India deeply
appreciates the warm sentiments in Japan towards Netaji Subhas
Chandra Bose and the fact that his ashes are being kept with devotion
and reverence in the Renkoji Temple. There are some political
sensitivities linked to the circumstances of the death of Subhas
Chandra Bose. However, the points made in former Prime Minister
Mori's letter have been taken note of and are being looked into.
SECRET
9.
The recent developments pertaining to the ashes in the Renkoji
Temple were brought to the attention of the NSA during a meeting on
October 16, 2006, and he desired that a background note on the issue
be sent to PMO. This note may kindly be shown to him. The guidance
of PMO on this issue will be appreciated.

Joint Seeretaily (EA) from Ambas sador

Head Priest of Renjo-Ji Temple, Rev. Nichiko Mochizuki, called on
me this morning.
2.
He made it dear this was purely a courtesy call on newly arrived
Ambassador, and he had no political agenda.
3.
In a matter of fact fashion, he mentioned that he offers a daily
prayer for Netaji and the Temple organizes an annual Memorial Service
on 18 August. His father had taben the ashes of Netaji into his protection
and he himself will continue to do so.
4.
Rev. Mochizuki conveyed that he had heard our PM will be visiting
Toiwo later this year. If at all possible, he requested consideration of a visit
by PM to Renho-Ji.
5.
The meeting ended with an exchange of pleasantries.
6.
For your information, many of our visiting dignitaries have visited
Rent/o-ii in the past, the last being former PM Vajpayee in December,
2001. If possible, matter can be given consideration In context of
forthcoming visit.
With best regards,
(H. K. Singh)

Deputy Chief of Mission

Tokyo.
Dear Sir,
We should no longer take it for granted that the Renkoji is
maintain eir generosity indefinitely.
to
At the temple, the Chief Priest Nichiko Mochizuki, the sosn of the
then Chief Priest Kyoei Mochizuki who in 1945 agreed to take care of the
Netaji's remains is already in his mid -sixties and is not enjoying good
health. Now the day-to-day management of the temple is in charge of his
adopted son, the third generation. Undoubtedly the patience on the part of
t_It_is__simply_unfair and unwise to defer the
repatriation year after year.
G7.
In this context, it is worth mentioning that the priest of the Renkoji

temple has agreed to cooperate on DNA testing of Netaji's remains.
Thus we have to think very seriously on the issue of Renkoji temple.
You may please be informed about the situation at Renkoji and a serious
feeling of the Japanese on the issue.
We will be much obliged in that case.
Kazuo Azuma

Thank you vary much for your letter informing me about the exchenge of letters between their
Excellencies the former Prime Mnister of Japan Mr. Yoehlro Mori and the Prime Mitister of

Chandra Boo from Japan to India. I had not been aware of the exchange of letters soltr.
!tethering to your question, whether I wouki be ready to receive my father's remeine, should
no solution involving the Government of India be reactuxi: I can answer very clearly, that I
would receive my tither's remains, as t had offered to do more than ten years ago tamely.
Should the Government of India feel unable to officially receive my flither's remains turn
Japan, I shall take them to India myself, performing the necessary and eppropriste rite* But
permit me to elaborate Itirthev
As you an 'twat the then Government of India, specifically the ex Prime Minitner of India
Mr. Narashnha Kan and the then and ereeent Minister of External Affairs Mr. Prtoub
Muicifteji, were in communication with the Japanese Government with regard to the official
transfer of my father's remains to India during the years 1095.1g96. At that tine I had
suggested to take my father's remains to Germany, where I reside, ehnuld no agreement be
ibtind in India to bring them to India While I never got an official rospotaa lo this auggeetion,
I was given to understand that this wadi not be considered desirable by both ieterested
parties in Japan and in India. Actually I do agree that my lizther's realities should be retureed
to hie home land India for whose freedom he apent his life. P.ven though his cloeest farniI
i.e. myself my husband, my children and my graiatkEldree live abroad, my father is a son of
India and the Indian people are as much his Emily.
With the change of the Indian Government in 1996 a delay occurred in these plans, toutociated
also with a petition made my some members of the Forward Bloc and some others who felt,
that the circumstances of my father's death had not been ituiTiciently investigited in the light
of documents which had become available since the work of the last two Commissions
Page 2 of letter by Anita Pfleff

charged Wit h the identical task in the 1950's and the 1970's. A new Commission was
eventually set up in 1999, headed by the retired Supreme Court Judge Mr. Justice M.K.
Mukherjee, The Commission's report was submitted in November 2005 and tabled in the
Indian parliament in May 2006 along with the Indian Quvernment's rejection of the report.
With regard to my father's death the Report states that the documentary evidence of the plane
ci ash and my father's cremation in August 1945 could not be provided. The Report was
...
discussed in the Upper House in July. I have myself onl/ received a copy of the report a
couple of weeks ago, after having requested the Indian Embassy to supply me with one a
couple of months ago:
While the Indian Governments' hands were bound while their Commission was still at work, I
expect that the present government will now, after receiving the report and rejecting it
proceed in the miler. Given the rejection of the Report and the earlier intent to have an
official transfer of my father's remains ten yours ago, I would expect that the Government of
India will now take steps in that direction. I talked to officials of both the government and
senior members of the opposition a year ago who agreed that my father should receive the
honours that are his due.
Along with the majority of Indians I am very grateful to the Government of Japan and the
honourable priests of Renkoji Temple Rev, Kyoei Mochizuki and Rev. Nichiko Mochizuki
for having cared for my father's remains in an exemplary way for all these years. I also agree
that the time is overdue that the Government of India should take official charge, It has
a ways
otir
ing that given my fathers outstanding role in the independence struggle
this is not merely my private affair. However. no doettA tam ready and willing to make it my
private affair and to take charge of my father's remains and bring them to India, should the
Government orindia feel unable to do so. Unfortunately I have to admit that there are some
people, including a number of my relatives, who based on their initial hope that he may not
have died in August 1945, still believe that he did not die at that time and consequently do not
believe that the remains in Rekoji temple are his. The results of the Mukherjee Report
reirtibreed this belief Like most people concerned to have a dignified return of my father's
remains to India I would much prefer to have as wide a consensus as possible in my family as
well as the interested Indian public, so that many will share in honouring him upon his final
return to India. The Miikherjec Commission had attempted to ascertain whether a DNA test of
the remains of my father would be possible in view of the cremation, but ran out of time in
this endeavour due to the day set for the completion of the report. In order to eliminate the
doubt of those people not believing in lily father's death, especially after the tabling of the
Muktierjee Report I have come to the conclusion that such a test would be desirable even
though originally I felt it totally unnecessary. But at least the rational among the opponents to
the return of my father's remains would accept such results. I therefore welcome your
statements in this counection.
Please accept my gratitude for you continuing interest in my father's memory and convey the
seine to the 'members of your association,
With warm regards

Re.: Netaji's remains at Renkoji Temple in Tokyxo
Dear Prime Minister.
It was indeed a pleasure and honour to meet you about a year and a half ago at your residence. During that
visit we touched upon the submission of the Mookheiji Report and related matters.
I am addressing this letter to you and I will address a similar letter to Minister of External Affairs Sri Pranab
Mukherji in order to keep you abreast of more recent developments and of my intentions with regard to those
issues.
Last December 1 was approached by Prof Kazuo Azuma and Former Ambassador to India Eijiro Noda.
members of the Japanese -Indian Association in Tokyo, asking me, whether I would be willing to take charge
of my father's remains, since after 60 years they felt that somebody should do so. This evidently is also to be
seen in connection with the present priest Rev. Mochizuki's deteriorating health. I wrote to them that I would
certainly be willing to take charge of my father's remains and that I would then take them to India and there
perform the appropriate rites. I also advised them of the fact that I would like to have a DNA test done
provided this is technically possible, in order to hopefully convince some of those people (including a
number of my relatives) who do not believe that my father died following the plane crash in Taipei and
therefore do not accept the ashes in Renkoji Temple as his remains. I am in the process of investigating
options and organizing the DNA test. Following the tests I am planning to take his remains from Tokyo to
India. I have not ultimately decided how exactly to deal with his remains there. However, at least part of his
remains will be immersed in the river Ganges - as appropriate for a devout Hindu.
It would be of interest to me to know if and how the Government of India intends to be involved in the return
did expect - such participation and involvement, but feel that nothing is likely to happen in the near future.
Evidently, however, they wish to be relieved of the responsibility which they have accepted a long time ago
and have borne much longer that originally expected by them.
As of this date I am not sure how fast all the necessary steps can be taken, but I hope to conclude the trans rer
th year of India's independence and the year of his 110t h
birthday. It would appear to be a good time, since owing to circumstances ten years ago we could not
conclude theses functions at that time.
I would welcome your reactions to the plans outlined above.
Hoping that you had successful meetings in Germany. I remain with all good wishes
Sincerely yours
Anita B. Pfaff
TAKING OVER OF
IT
OVER AND KEEP IN THE NEW CHANCERY PREMISES OF THE
INDIAN EMBASSY IN TOKYO
Gol's position that the ashes in Renkoji are those of Netaji was
taken since the acceptance of reports of the Shahnawaz and Khosla
Commissions of Inquiry. Nothing has changed from the Gal's point of
view.
Some admirers of Netaji in Japan who are very old now have
been campaigning for the ashes to be given a fitting burial in India.
They have also been saying that the Renkoji Temple whose Chief
Priest was getting old could not keep the ashes indefinitely. We have
been contributing Yen 1 million for the upkeep of the ashes to the
temple (about $ 9,000).
Last year former PM Mori wrote to PM stating that "the wishes
of the Netaji family should be considered from a humanitarian point of
view" ( the letter mentions Prof Krishna Bose) and in view of the
"change in circumstances in India" he urged that ".. if the remains
were to be returned to India with the courtesy commensurate with his
great historic status the event would promote the friendship between
our two peoples".

The old Chief Priest has passed on the reigns of the temple to
the third generation. The new Chief Priest met the Indian
Ambassador in Tokyo last year but did not indicate that he had a
problem in looking after the ashes. It may be noted that there is a
custom of Japanese Buddhist temples looking after such ashes. The
Forward Bloc (which includes family members of Netaji) has already
indicated that they will 'fight tooth and nail' any attempt by Got to take
over the ashes. The question that needs to be asked is what has
changed for Gol to consider taking over the ashes and keeping them
in the new Chancery?
\V>\t5)r
The following are submitted for consideration :

Has this matter been discussed with the Japanese followers
of Netaji ? The main point in PM Mori's letter was not that
they could not take care of the ashes but that they should be
returned honourably to India.
(ii)
The shifting of the ashes to the Indian Chancery premises

will make explicit what has been implicit so far
that
Government recognizes that the ashes are those of Netaji.
This may not satisfy the Japanese and will certainly generate
controversy in India among the Forward Bloc etc.
(iii)
If the Government physically accepts the custody of the

ashes then how can it lodge it far away in Japan and not
inter it in a fitting national memorial in India ? Shifting the
ashes 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 ascertained

clearly. If indeed there is some problem keeping the ashes
have other options been explored - such as increasingly
substantially the amount being paid for upkeep or shifting the
ashes to some other Buddhist temple?
(v)
Any change in the status quo should be carefully thought

through.

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.
