From 1955 to 1985, a strange holy man lived secretly, namelessly, in various parts of Uttar Pradesh.When he died, they named him ‘Gumnami Baba’—The Unnamed Saint. He has a museum to his name now. But his name remains a mystery…Was India’s most legendary unknown man none other than its long-lost hero, leader and liberator, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose? You decide.
Extract from the Foreword:
…I, many of the Bose family and millions of Indians have long been of the firm view that Netaji did not die in a plane crash at Taihoku Aerodrome on 18 August 1945, for the simple and excellent reason that there was no plane crash at Taihoku Aerodrome on 18 August 1945…On 22 September, I appeared before the “Gumnami Baba” Commission of Inquiry. Deposing as Commission’s Witness no. 1, I stated on oath that the nameless saint might well have been none other than Netaji…
– Jayanti Bose Rakshit, Grand-niece of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
