The enigma

Did his enemies finally nail him?
In Siberian cold did they jail him?
Three commissions in vain
Probed the ashes, the plane
But none, in the end, could trail him!


TOI 18/05/06: Seven years after it was tasked with unmasking one of independent India's most abiding mysteries - the disappearance of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose - the Mukherjee commission has concluded that the leader did not die in the plane crash over Taiwan in 1945. The government, meanwhile, has rejected its findings without giving any reason, thus adding another chapter to the controversy. Read about it here

    What happened to Netaji Bose?
    Noone really knows.
    Instead of trying to solve this mystery,
    Let's give him rightful place in history
    And a requiem with a gun and a rose.
