Charanrekha Taba by Krishna Basu [Hardcover]

A popular Hindi song about Subhas Chandra Bose, translated into Bengali, says—If you want to know about that hero, ask eternity; if you want to know about his self-sacrifice, ask Bengal; if you want to know how that great life was sacrificed, ask Imphal and every tree branch in Assam. Not just in Assam and Imphal, the paths marked by that great man's footprints across various countries have been sought repeatedly by Krishna Bose, an intimate worker of the Netaji Research Bureau. In this book by Krishna Bose, a member of the Bose family, is a detailed and captivating account of that quest. Wherever she has gone—Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, or Formosa—she has followed the path once led by Netaji's great leadership in India's freedom struggle. She has met many eyewitnesses of those days; she has collected numerous valuable documents, including papers and photographs. This book will shed much new light on Netaji and also provide the pure flavor of a travelogue. Enriched with numerous rare pictures and reproductions.
