Dr. Subramaniam Swamy of BJP, the man who has unearthed many conspiracies and scams in India has made another startling revelation in Merut on the eve of Nataji Birth anniversary.  He has dropped a bomb when he said at a function in Merut that Subhash Chandra Bose has not died of a  plane crash, ( A theory the congress wanted the Indian to believe) Instead he was killed in Russia, and Jawaharlal Nehru had a direct connection to this cold blooded murder.

Other subsidiary reasons like introduction of western edu...
