"Embalmed" body of #LalBahadurShastri as it appeared a day after his death, and the embalmed body of Lenin (died 1924). You don’t have to be a forensic pathologist to see that something was wrong. Why did our Govt refuse an autopsy?

1. Attempt was made to keep family members away from Shastriji's body

2. When they did see and pointed out that something was wrong, suddenly someone came and smeared sandal paste on the face. You can see it here. And yet...

This day in 1966 Prime Minister #LalBahadurShastri suddenly died in Tashkent. Hours later, KGB arrested his cook on suspicions of poisoning. The matter was hushed up by Indian government. Hence the continuing burden on our collective consciousness.

This is how our flag would have looked like, if Mahatma Gandhi had his way. Of course, Gandhi bhakts won't tell you this, so read on...

This day in 1947, the Tricolour was adopted as India's National Flag. But do you know that Mahatma Gandhi wanted a Union Jack in one corner of the new flag? Something like this flag design seen here which was proposed by our first Governor-General Lord Louis Mountbatten. 2/n
Gandhiji, unlike Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, was not an enemy of the Empire. He favoured Dominion Status under the British monarch (which we got in 1947), not Purna Swaraj, or complete freedom of India as Netaji strove for. 3/n

In 2015, when Netaji snooping scandal was laid bare by Mission Netaji with the help of confirmed official documents, no such stinging headlines or coverage was seen in the leading daily in Netaji's home state.

1/n
In fact, writing in the paper, one of its top editors and noted historian Rudrangshu Mukherjee sort of defended the snooping launched against people linked to Netaji arguing that “surveillance is a characteristic of all modern regimes of power”.

2/n
Mr Mukherjee further wrote that "dominant powers use it routinely against the opposition", and that “spooks are also known to have spied on the wrong persons”.

"I surrendered no weapons to Gandhiji"

Gopal Mukherjee (Gopal Patha) recalls his meeting with Mahatma Gandhi following communal violence in Kolkata in 1946.

@Sanjay_Dixit @chandrachurg @ProfKapilKumar @vaibhavUP65 @UnSubtleDesi @avatans @VikasSaraswat @RahulEaswar @PanickarS
Gandhi’s secretary: ‘Gopal, why don’t you surrender your arms to Gandhiji?’

Gopal: `Where was Gandhiji during the Great Calcutta Killing? With these arms I saved the mothers and sisters of my area. I will not surrender them.'

Savarkar was brutally tortured, hung up naked and he had to ease himself in that state in his cell. I hate to compare sufferings of freedom fighters, but we all know how humanly Gandhiji was treated when he was imprisoned.

This was the emaciated state to which #SubhasChandraBose was reduced to after imprisonment in jails, including the notorious Mandalay jail. He nearly died. Would take years to regain health.
Only two front ranking Congress leaders were sent to Mandalay jail-- Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Subhas Bose. Interestingly, there was one revolutionary who was imprisoned with Bose in Mandalay jail. Same revolutionary also spent time in Kala Paani when Savarkar was lodged there.

Will some MP from Bengal or UP pls raise the matter of "leak" of DNA report conclusion in Gumnami Baba case? It happened months before the test concluded. So, those who leaked knew in advance that the test won't show a link between Netaji and holy man.

republicworld.com/india-news/law…
Gumnami Baba DNA test report is dated June 2004. Leak happened in December 2003, when testing had barely started. @chandrachurg
Also available is data to show that the DNA test was fudged, just as handwriting tests were. Sarkari experts gave reports in line with the Govt stand that Netaji died in 1945 and hence he cannot be so-called Gumnami Baba.
