Why the difference of opinion about the disappearance of Subhas Chandra Bose

Maybe India would have been a lot different under Subash Chandra Bose than Gandhi family. I personally feel the Russians captured him and he died in Siberia. It was because of Nehru, but why did Stalin keep him in prison and when did he die? I wonder how this one family in India became so powerful and ruled illiterate Indians for so long and will continue to do so. Atal Behari Vajpayee should have helped clear all these doubts in his short 4.5 years of government.

The current Indian government has appointed another Judicial Commission to probe into the identity of a person living in Faizabad, India as a holy man. It has been strongly suspected by many and believed by several researchers that this person was Subhash Bose in disguise. The Commission under Justice Vishnu Sahay is expected to submit its report in 2017. There have been reports of British and French intelligence in public domain and and a report by the Soviet Agent in Bombay V.I. Sayadyants which make explicit references to Subhash Bose being active after August 1945.

There is a 2010 review of the subject in History Today. In the end, the mystery remains. My own conclusions after reading the article are:

  1. The plane crash version does indeed feel fishy.
  2. The answer is likely to be in the Russian archives - which means it will not be forthcoming for a long time, I am afraid.

The event (alleged death) took place towards the end of the World War II, just after the surrender of Japan. There was a lot of general confusion and fog of war. And this was a person known for disguises and misdirection.

It would be difficult to get proper documentation or find reliable witnesses. This could very well explain the uncertainty regarding his death.
