New Delhi India, Aug 30 (ANI): Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had continued living in parts of Uttar Pradesh after his reported death in 1945, under the guise of a monk 'Gumnami Baba', a fact his.
Lucknow, July 24 (IANS) The controversy over whether the Gumnami Baba of Faizabad was actually Subhash Chandra Bose, is about to be put to rest.
The Justice Vishnu Sahai Commission's report on the mysterious ‘Gumnami Baba', which was tabled in the UP cabinet on Tuesday, says it's difficult to determine whether he was indeed Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, as popularly believed.
The findings of the commission, set up in 2016, which will now be tabled in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly, reportedly only draw parallels between Bose and the Baba.
It mentions that other than literature in English, Bengali and Hindi, the three languages in which Netaji was fluent, books on Bose himself and authors he liked to read have been recovered.
- Gumnami Baba lived in a part of Ram Bhawan, Faizabad (now Ayodhya) from December 1982 till September 16, 1985, when he died. His last rites were performed at the Guptar Ghat in Faizabad (now.
- New Delhi India, Aug 30 (ANI): Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose had continued living in parts of Uttar Pradesh after his reported death in 1945, under the guise of a monk 'Gumnami Baba', a fact his.
- Just watched the movie.Gumnami. It's a awesome movie based on the controversy of Bose's existence after 1945. We always neglected Bengali movie and it's storyline for being such foolish but we have to admit that good movies didn't make a good financial status, that's why we only get foolish scripts.
- It also determined Gumnami Baba to be different from Subhas Bose in light of a DNA profiling test. The Mukherjee Commission submitted its report to on 8 November 2005 after 3 extensions and it was tabled in the Indian Parliament on 17 May 2006. The Indian Government rejected the findings of the commission.
Sources said that the report also mentions that Gumnami Baba was also fluent in these three languages and was an influential person to whom people flocked.
'As per the report, Gumnami Baba continued to stay in his Faizabad house till rumours of him being Subhash Chandra Bose surfaced, after which he left that place. The report also mentions Gumnami Baba's love for music and cigars,' said the source.
The report, prepared by Justice Vishnu Sahai, was commissioned by the Samajwadi Party government in 2016 on directions of the Allahabad High Court. The court order followed a PIL, in which the petitioner claimed that Gumnami Baba was Subhash Chandra Bose.
Justice Vishnu Sahai had earlier told reporters that many people he interviewed, had come with the pre-conceived notion that Gumnami Baba was indeed Bose.
He, however, added that collecting reliable testimony was a challenge since the Baba died in 1985 and witnesses deposed before the commission only in 2016 and 2017.
Gumnami Baba was a fairly known entity in Uttar Pradesh and, he lived in various parts of the state in great secrecy, hidden behind a curtain most of the time.
It was only after he died that he began making news. He was known as ‘Gumnami Baba'– a term never used by his followers, who called him by the ‘Bhagwanji' (the reverend one).
After his demise, his room was found to contain hundreds of objects, most important of which were his correspondence and notes.
There was much connected with Subhash Chandra Bose and those who were known to Bose in pre-Independence period. It was at that time that many of his followers were confronted by the media. They gave out that he was Subhash Bose to their belief and knowledge. They had kept their mouths sealed in deference to his order that it be done in ‘national interest'.
Matters turned volatile when Lalita Bose, a niece of Subhash Chandra Bose, arrived in Faizabad, where the holy man had last lived. She conducted a personal inquiry and was convinced that he was her uncle.
Lalita Bose tried to persuade the then Chief Minister of the state, Vir Bahadur Singh, to order a proper inquiry, but he is said to have told her that the matter was beyond him.
Lalita and two citizens then filed a suit in the Allahabad High Court, using the services of eminent lawyer Robin Mitra. In response, the state government just clammed up and filed a counter-affidavit only after 13 years.
It was only in 2013 the order for an inquiry could be delivered. Three years later, following some lobbying with then Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, an inquiry commission was set up, headed by Justice Vishnu Sahai.

Bengali Books On Gumnami Baba Singh
UPCOMING Gumnaami Babain Hindi and Bangla movie on Netaji Subash Chandra Bose based on the MukherjeeCommission’s hearings is scheduled to hit the screen on October 2. The 137- minute filmshows the three theories trying to explain the death or disappearance of SubhasChandra post defeat of Japan ending the 11nd World War. There is no consensus among the Netajischolars on his whereabouts after Japan had to surrender to the allied powerscomprising Great Britain, The United States, China, and the Soviet Union. Theleaders of the Allies were Franklin Roosevelt (the United States), WinstonChurchill (Great Britain), and Joseph Stalin (the Soviet Union).In Februarythis year, some relatives of the iconic Indian freedom fighter had raisedobjections to the venture. The movie is based on legends that Bose did not diein the plane crash on August 18, 1945, but continued living under the guise ofa monk with the name ‘Gumnami Baba' in Uttar Pradesh. The teaser opens with avoiceover proclaiming that history taught us Bose died in an airplane crashnear Taiwan in 1945. However, there were many speculations that he was capturedby Russia where he was tortured to death. The teaser also shows a glimpse ofMahatma Gandhi who sent a telegram to Bose's family requesting them to stopBose's funeral ceremony further instigating that maybe Bose is alive. Towardsthe end, the voiceover explains that many also theorised Bose did return toIndia but started living as a monk. The combination of these two incidentsinspires the film into a present-day courtroom drama as they as try to decodethe legend of Gumnami Baba. The Indian government constituted as many as threeprobe commissions to reveal the truth behind Netaji's disappearance. In 1999,the Mukherjee Commission, chaired by retired Supreme Court judge MK Mukherjee,initiated an exhaustive six-year-long probe into the Netaji’s “allegeddisappearance'. Though Justice Mukherjee in the report, nixed the aircrash theory, he did not conclude that the ‘Gumnanmi Baba was Bose in disguisefor lack of any clinching evidence. DespiteMukherjee Commission debunking the claim that a sadhu from Faizabad wasactually the freedom fighter living under an assumed identity, the myth continues.The selfi- claimed saint passed away in 1985. The Narendra Modi-led governmenthas made public a series of files revealing manysensational facts about the iconic revolutionary. In June 2016, the UttarPradesh government set up a judicial commission to probe the identity ofGumnami Baba, reigniting the debate on whether the ascetic who lived till 1985was Netaji.The mystery film is written and directed by Srijit Mukherjee and produced by Shrikant Mohta and MahendraSoni under the banner of Shree Venkatesh Films. There are three theories trying to explain the deathor disappearance of subhas Chandra Bose. In the movie, Prosenjit Chatterjee is portrayingNetaji Subhas Chandra Bose / Gumnaami Baba along with Anirban Bhattacharya asChandrachur Dhar,Tanusree Chakraborty, BiplabDasgupta,Shyamal Chakravarty ,Surendra Rajan as Mahatma Gandhi,Sanjay Gurbaxanias Jawaharlal Nehru.Meanwhile,BJP leader Chandra Bose, close relative ofNetaji, has slammed the movie maker for trying to prove the controversial religious leader as theiconic freedom fighter. Former Union Minister and Professor at Delhi IIT and Harvard Dr Subramaniam Swamy ,MP, has goneon record on Twitter saying : GumnamiBaba was projected as Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose by Jawaharlal Nehru with the help of hisIB Chief Malik. The purpose was to hide the fact Nehru, Attlee and Stalinplotted to kill Netaji after he had arrived in the Soviet Union on August24,1945 or thereabouts seeking refuge. Thefilm therefore will create an ending controversary about the illustrious freedomfighter.
