Mention Regarding Alleged Ashes of Netaji

Sugata Bose wrote in his book His Majesty's Opponent that a part of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's ashes were kept in the house of Rama Murti, the founder of Indian Independence League in Tokyo. He also mentioned that the ashes were brought to India in 2006 under the intimation of the Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh. New Delhi based not-for-profit organisation Mission Netaji sought the validity of this information though the Right to Information act, and received the information from the Prime Minister's Office that "no such information exists."

Famous quotes containing the words mention, alleged and/or ashes:

    I revere the memory of Mr. F. as an estimable man and most indulgent husband, only necessary to mention Asparagus and it appeared or to hint at any little delicate thing to drink and it came like magic in a pint bottle; it was not ecstasy but it was comfort.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    The entire construct of the “medical model” of “mental illness”Mwhat is it but an analogy? Between physical medicine and psychiatry: the mind is said to be subject to disease in the same manner as the body. But whereas in physical medicine there are verifiable physiological proofs—in damaged or affected tissue, bacteria, inflammation, cellular irregularity—in mental illness alleged socially unacceptable behavior is taken as a symptom, even as proof, of pathology.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    We therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.
    Book Of Common Prayer, The. The Burial of the Dead (1662)
