I would like to discuss (with the Prime Minister) the conditions and procedures for a return of my father's remains , said Bose Pfaff, an economist by profession, in a telephonic interview with PTI.
Netaji was known for making inspirational speeches that roused the masses suffering under the British yoke from their deep slumber. Here are some stirring and thought-provoking quotes from them.
This is in line with the government's focus on commemorating important aspects of India's history and culture, they said, noting it had earlier started celebrating Bose's birth anniversary as "Parakram Divas"
Modi will also visit the Yaad-e-Jallian Museum, (museum on the Jallianwala Bagh and World War I) and the Museum on 1857- India's first war of Independence and Drishyakala-Museum on Indian Art at the same venue, a statement from his office said.

"The West Bengal government has made public certain confidential files related to Netaji. It is good...it needs to be studied what is there in those files before the Centre takes such a decision, its impact on the international community, our relations with other countries, neighbouring countries, needs to be studied.
Modi is also likely to meet Netaji's grand nephew Subhash Chandra Bose in Berlin on Monday. His visit comes amid the row over snooping on the relatives of Subhas Chandra Bose. There were reports that certain Intelligence Bureau files showed that the Nehru government spied on Bose's family for 20 years between 1948 and 1968.
The Intelligence Bureau on Friday denied de-classifying files which indicated that former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru spied on the family of freedom fighter Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose for two decades from 1948 to 1968, sources said.
Parliamentarians led by Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar offered floral tributes to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose on his 115th birth anniversary today.
