https://go.gplinks.co/C5bCOsIn 1940, when Hitler's bombers were dropping bombs on London, the British government imprisoned its arch-enemy, Subhash Chandra Bose, in the Calcutta Presidency Jail. Bose was arrested by the British government on July 2, 1940 on charges of treason. On November 29, 1940, Subhash Chandra Bose went on a hunger strike to protest his arrest in jail. One week later, on December 5, Governor John Herbert sent Bose to his home in an ambulance to prevent the British government from facing allegations that Bose had died in captivity. Herbert intended to take Bose back into custody as soon as he recovered. Not only did the Bengal government keep a strict police guard in plain clothes outside these houses on 38/2 Elgin Road
one of them, Spy Agent 207, had informed the government that Subhash Bose had taken barley porridge and vegetable soup after returning home from jail. From that day onwards, every person who came to him was monitored by 8 and every letter sent by Bose was opened and read at the post office. "Will you do me a favor?" On the afternoon of December 5, Subhash held the hand of his 20-year-old nephew Shashir for a long time. At that time, Subhash had grown a beard and was leaning on a pillow. Subhash Chandra Bose's grandson and Shashir's son Sogat Bose had said to me: "Subhash took my father's hand in his and asked, 'Amar ekta kaj korte parbe?'
That is, "Will you do one of my work?" Shashir agreed without knowing about the work It was planned that Shashir would take his uncle to a railway station far from Calcutta last night. Subhash and Shashir decided that they would go out of the main door of the house. They had two options. Either use your German Wanderer car or an American studbacker The American car was big, but it was easily recognizable, so the Wonder car was chosen for this trip. Shashir Kumar Bose writes in his book 'The Great Escape': 'We went to the Vichal Mulla department store in central Calcutta and bought some loose trousers and a military hat to disguise Bose.
I put on a felt hat and went to a printing press and there I ordered to print a visiting card for Subhash. The card read: "Muhammad Ziauddin, BA, LLB, Traveling Inspector, The Empire of India Insurance Company Limited, Permanent Address, Civil Lines, Jabalpur." Even the mother is not aware of Subhash's departure The night before the trip, Shashir found out that the suitcase he had brought did not fit in the trunk of the Wanderer car. So it was decided that Subhash's old suitcase would go with him. His name, SCB, was erased and replaced by MZ in Chinese ink. The car was serviced on January 16. The story of his escape was kept secret from the rest of the family, even his mother, to deceive the British.
Before leaving, Subhash had his last meal with his family. At that time he was wearing a silk shirt and dhoti. It was a little late for Subhash to leave the house as some people in the house were still awake Sogat Bose, author of the book "His Majesty's Appointment", told me: He wore his gold-rimmed spectacles, which he had stopped wearing a decade earlier. The kabli slippers brought by Shashir did not suit him. So wear leather laces for long journeys. Subhash sat in the back seat of the car. Shashir started the engine of Wonder Car BLA 7169 and brought it out of the house. The light in Subhash's bedroom was left on for the next hour.
While the whole of Calcutta was fast asleep, uncles and nephews were crossing the bridge over the Hooghly River via Lower Circular Road, Sealdah and Harrison Road. The two had passed through Chandra Nagar and reached the outskirts of Asansol in the morning. At around 8.30 am, Shashir dropped Subhash from his car a few hundred meters from his brother Ashok's house in Barari, Dhanabad. Shashir Kumar Bose writes in his book The Great Escape: "I was just telling Ashok what happened when the insurance agent Ziauddin (Subhash in another disguise) who had been dropped off at a short distance entered the house." He was telling Ashok about the insurance policy when he said that we will talk about this in the evening.
Servants were ordered to make room in a room for Ziauddin to rest. In his presence, Ashok introduced me to Ziauddin in English, while a few minutes ago I had dropped him off in my car near Ashok's house. Kalka Mail from Gomo After talking in the evening, Ziauddin told his host that he would take the Kalka Mail from Gomo station and travel further. The Kalka Mail used to arrive at Gomo station late at night. At Gomo station, a sleepy Qali picked up Subhash Chandra Bose's luggage. Shashir Bose writes in his book: 'I saw my colorful uncle Babu slowly climbing the overbridge behind the fort. After a while, they disappeared into the darkness as they walked. Within minutes, the Calcutta Mail arrived from Calcutta.
