ରହସ୍ଯମୟ ଘଣ୍ଟା କହୁଛି ନେତାଜୀ ଜୀବିତ ! | Malika Bachana About Netaji Subhas Bose | 

Netaji Parakaya prabesha vidya janithile. Tanka sarira paribartan karuthile.

1) Context: This video is part of a series of videos uploaded on the Satya Bhanja channel regarding the topic of Netaji's life post 1945, as discussed in the interview with grandmother Shantilata Mohanty who had served him while he was in his disguise as Jagadish Baba at Nilagiri in Balasore, Odisha.

2) Discussion: 2.1) In several places, starting from biographical movie directed by Shyam Benegal, "Bose the forgotten Hero" to records, which many government search teams are after. When he came to Odisha, that time too, on which was written INA, which as per Mandal Commision's research is a square shaped dial clock. Even those Babajis who used to fakely popularize themselves claiming to be Netaji, they too all had a watch in common. Emphasizing the importance of this watch, the discussion with grandmother begins, as she is the direct witness for it.

2.2) Grandmother refers to someone she knows as Jani madam who had the watch that Netaji owned, and upon asking her, she now refuses to speak anything about it. Then Satya Bhanja asks her if she has herself seen the watch, trying to give a template of how it looked, whether similar or not to his watch which he is wearing while the interview is taking place. To this she answers it was circular in shape, golden in colour. There was something printed on to the watch which appeared to be the letter J. At this point (around 3 mins into the video), Satya Bhanja appeals that if anyone has any information about the watch, please contact the team and they shall reach out to you to collect all possible facts.

2.3) Grandmother then proceeds to call her daughter Jolly, who has more knowledge about the watch as she used to be dealing with it more often. She saw the watch after visiting the common contact whom grandmother was talking about. She however recalls that the dial of that watch was rectangular, and it had INA printed on it. She witnessed this around 1994-95. Although the band of the watch was silver in colour, however, due to it being old, it looked brownish in colour. The watch had broken and that family had sent it for repair, but unfortunately they did not care much to bring it back and with time the watch seems to be lost. The watch also happened to be heavy, not like the light watches available nowadays. The common contact was also present while the Samadhi of Jagadish Baba was being re-excavated to see what was in there. Unfortunately during COVID he got badly affected, although by chanting Hanuman Chalisa 108 times with faith, he recovered from it too. His behaviour being no more friendly, it becomes difficult to talk to him to know anything about Netaji, though he knows a great deal about him.

3) Conclusion: This is all there is to this video. Jay Jagannath! Jay Panchasakha!
