A very few of you people would be aware that Netaji was the head of an independent State (PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF FREE INDIA), which was recognized by nine countries (AXIS POWERS) including Japan. By being head of state, he deserved to be given FULL STATE MILITARY HONOR at his cremation. Government of India obliged by giving , FULL STATE MILITARY HONOR to the departed soul of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose in his new avatar as Swami ShardanandJi, at Rishikesh, Dehra Dun in April 1977.
Swami Shardanand is the only person other than army personals or dignitaries who got this honor. None civilian other than him, has ever been cremated with this glorious tradition. It was an unofficial declaration of him and the acceptance by govt. that Swami was indeed Netaji.
I'm literally feeling bad. May his soul rest in peace!!!
