Much ado about Nothing! Netaji Family might be holy cow but every Indian citizen remains under Surveillance.
Nobody raised voice against blatant violation of civic and human right hitherto.
Spying Manusmriti Regime made the Surveillance the phenomenon of business friendly governance!
Just before local bodies' elections ahead,amidst intensified religious polarization campaign,RSS plays the Bengali Nationalist card yet again to use the Netaji ATM which it had been using since Jan Sangh Days and almost forgot since its Hindutva Avtar has taken over RSS.Thus,what you hear ringing out of West Bengal today as news breaks that the Nehru government was spying on Netaji Subhas Bose's family for some twenty years.
It is nothing new.Surveillance is the ultimate truth in DRONE, CIA, FBI, MOSSAD times.Hence,we had been opposing the NATO war plan against global humanity,the biomatric robotic cloned citizenship devoid of privacy as well sovereignty.
No Indian politician indulged in power politics has been hitherto concerned with blatant violation of human and civic rights for ethnic cleaning continued.
No Indian politician indulged in power politics has been hitherto concerned with US surveillance hitherto.
No Indian politician indulged in power politics has been vocal enough against continuous minority persecution hitherto.
No Indian politician indulged in power politics dared to raise its voice against blind nationalism and militarization of the state to strip naked the Golden Bird still intact in Mineral India alias tribal India.
The ruling hegemony comprising the rightist RSS as well as the so called socialist secular Gandhian Hindutva is quite habitual to spy the opposition.
But No Indian politician indulged in power politics has raised his or her voice against the brutal mutilation of Indian constitution and democracy to loot the masses and the natural resources they own for free flow of foreign capital and interest to ensure complete privatization,complete deregulation,complete decontrol,complete disinvestment,complete FDI raj.
Spying is the greatest tool to stop the free flow of information so that under complete mind control anesthesia the mandate should be managed,public opinion should be modified and the truth and justice would be misused against the sovereign citizenship.
But No Indian politician indulged in power politics has raised his or her voice against the spy regime and gets funding from desi videsi hundreds of East India companies managing the business friendly RAAJKAAJ.
Not only politicians,the intelligentsia and the civil society,even those five star activists and great Indian Media Icons have been doing everything to justify the exclusion,ethnic cleansing of Indian masses since day first of power transfer to Nehru,the British Raj nominated first Prime minister whose democratic,secular,nonaligned gimmicks constituted and strengthened the foundation of the Hindutva Zionist Manusmriti modern day free market India.
The episode should be read strictly in the light of Hinduization of Bengal and thus, we came to know suddenly that the Netaji family which itself indulged in Hindutva politics and aligned with the ruling hegemony,enjoying everything under the manusmriti regime now demands declassification of all Netaji Documents.The family living in the ivory tower since Netaji Exclusion never actully cared much for Netaji and always allowed to provoke Hindu imperialist nationalism by Hindutva Brigade.
It is happening yet again.
NDTV reports:
NEW DELHI: Intelligence Bureau kept relatives of freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose under close surveillance for two decades, most of which was during Jawaharlal Nehru's tenure as Prime Minister, according to archival material, which has set off a political controversy.
The Intelligence Bureau files declassified recently said Netaji's close relatives, including his two nephews Sisir Kumar Bose and Amiya Nath Bose - sons of his brother Sarat Chandra Bose - were spied upon for 20 years between 1948 and 1968.
Mr Nehru was Prime Minister for 16 of these 20 years.
he files, now with the National Archives, said the Bose family homes at 1, Woodburn Park and 38/2 Elgin Road, were kept under surveillance.
The Intelligence Bureau officials intercepted and copied letters written by the Bose family and even trailed them on foreign tours.
Netaji's family reacted to reports with "shock" and said it was a "poor reflection" on the quality of democracy at that time.
"Yes, it is a poor reflection on the quality of India's democracy in the first two decades that there was such invasion of privacy of freedom fighters. It is not just a family matter.
"The most disgraceful aspect of this surveillance is that private letters between my father and his aunt (Netaji's wife) were being opened and read and copied. It's a matter of great disrespect to the freedom struggle and freedom fighters," Sugata Bose, his grandnephew and Trinamool Congress lawmaker said.
"It's shocking to the family members. Now we know that under instructions from Pandit Nehru the government kept surveillance," said Chandra Kumar Bose, Netaji's other grandnephew.
Anuj Dhar, the author of 'India's Biggest Cover-up' had stumbled upon the files at the National Archives while researching on Bose, one of the foremost leaders of the freedom movement.
Netaji had quit Congress before Independence over differences with Mr Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi and launched an organised military resistance against the British after raising the Indian National Army.
Times of India reports:
The Congress on Friday found itself battling the charge that former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru subjected the kin of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose to intense surveillance for more than two decades.
With BJP pouncing on two declassified files of the Intelligence Bureau on the snooping on Bose's nephews to suggest that Nehru was scared of the possibility of Bose's return after the legendary freedom fighter disappeared following an air crash in Taiwan, Congress alleged that the Modi government was engaging in a "sinister propaganda of selective leaks and half-truths to malign national icons".
The IB files, declassified by the Modi government, show that the Nehru regime mounted an aggressive surveillance on Bose's family members from 1948 till at least 1968. The snooping was focused on the two residences of the Bose family in Kolkata — 1 Woodburn Park and 38/2 Elgin Road. IB operatives intercepted all letters written by Bose's family members, and they were trailed whenever they stepped out.
There is also evidence to show IB personnel shadowed the siblings when they travelled out of Kolkata and abroad.
BJP saw the disclosure of the Nehru government's snooping on Bose's family members through the prism of the legendary rivalry between the two stalwarts. Nehru prevailed, largely because Mahatma Gandhi tipped the scales in his favour setting him on the path to become the first PM. Bose walked out of Congress but captured the national imagination by seeking to liberate the country through an armed struggle.
Netaji was feared killed after the aircraft carrying him crashed over Formosa (now Taiwan) in 1945, but the legend of his enterprise endured, leading many to believe that he had survived the crash and would resurface to take charge of the country.
"It raises questions ... because the leadership of Congress was not restricted to any one particular family. Congress should come clean on it," said BJP spokesperson Nalin Kohli.
Commerce minister Nirmala Sitharaman alleged that snooping has been an essential component of Congress's governing style, citing examples of alleged snooping on former PM Indira Gandhi's daughter-in-law and referring to, without mentioning names, the reports that tabs were placed on Pranab Mukherjee when he was finance minister under UPA.

Congress fought back, saying the two IB reports were leaked as part of a conspiracy to defame "national icons". Interestingly, party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi stressed that IB reports to the home minister and that allegation of snooping was also aimed against stalwarts who served as home ministers: including Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Lal Bahadur Shastri whom BJP has embraced as part of its pantheon, and C Rajagopalachari who is well regarded in saffron circles for his protest against state-controlled economic policy under Nehru and for his English translations of Ramayana and Mahabharata.
Singhvi also stressed that Bose's family was split over whether he survived the air crash, with one branch holding that he perished in 1945.
Other parties too reacted to the revelation, with JDU's KC Tyagi calling it "unfortunate if true" and BJD's Bhatruhari Mahtab saying, "Jawaharlal Nehru is portrayed as a true democratic leader but the manner in which Netaji's family was tracked for 20 years during his and Indira Gandhi's tenures, it shows how fragile this opinion was. Congress should apologise to the family of Netaji. What were they apprehensive about?"
Bose's family reacted with "shock". Sugata Bose, Netaji's grand nephew and TMC MP, who read the files, said, "Yes, it is a poor reflection on the quality of India's democracy in the first two decades that there was such invasion of privacy of freedom fighters. It is not just a family matter. The most disgraceful aspect ... is that private letters between my father and his aunt (Netaji's wife) were being opened and read and copied. It's a matter of great disrespect to the freedom struggle and freedom fighters."
According to the files, the IB documented all those who met Bose's kin. Handwritten notes in the files show that the sleuths regularly telephoned the IB headquarters and reported about their movements and meetings. The surveillance was focused on Netaji's nephews, Sisir Kumar Bose and Amiya Nath Bose. They were both sons of Sarat Chandra Bose, and close to Bose and had assisted him, including in Netaji's escape to Afghanistan in 1941.
IB reports also show that it kept close watch on the letters they wrote to their aunt and Netaji's wife, Emily Schenkl, in Austria.

A media report on Friday quoted Netaji's only child, Anita Bose-Pfaff, who is a Germany-based economist, as saying that she was startled by the revelations. She pointed out that her uncle Sarat Chandra Bose was politically active until the 1950s and disagreed with the Congress leadership. "But what surprises me is that my cousins could have been under surveillance," the report quoted her as saying.
Successive governments have refused to declassify documents on Bose. Even the Modi government seemed to toe that line. On December 17, 2014, MoS for home Haribhai Parthibai Chaudhary told Rajya Sabha that declassification of files on Netaji would impact India's relations with friendly foreign countries. However, he let it slip that the Modi government had in fact declassified two "top secret" files.
