Gumnami Baba: A Case History

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 Commissions 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. From the Back-Cover: 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 Indias most legendary unknown man none other than its long-lost hero, leader and liberator, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose?
