Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s niece Chitra Ghosh passes away, PM Modi condoles

Kolkata, Jan 8 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed grief over Chitra
Ghosh, youngest daughter of Sarat Chandra Bose and niece of Netaji Subhas
Chandra Bose, died in the city on Thursday.
She was 90.
Mr Modi recalled his meeting when he had met her to discuss on various issues,
including declassification of files relating to the great freedom fighter Subhas
Chandra Bose.
Taking to his tweeter handle, Mr Modi said, “Professor Chitra Ghosh made pioneering contributions to academics and community service. I recall my interaction with her, when
we discussed many subjects including declassification of files relating to Netaji Bose.
“Saddened by her demise. Condolences to her family. Om Shanti,” he added.
Chandra Kumar Bose, nephew of Chitra Ghosh said, “Chitra Ghosh, daughter of Sarat
Chandra Bose & niece of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose left for heavenly abode on 7th
January 2021. A life dedicated serving the people, teaching & inspiring the youth. Gave
leadership to the Declassification Movement to release classified documents pertaining
to the #LiberatorofIndia- #NetajiSubhasChandraBose. We would miss you Chotopishi!”
“Her husband had passed away in October 2016. Ghosh is survived by son Sutanu
Ghosh and daughter Suneepa Dutta and grandchildren,” he added.
Ghosh, who studied Political Science and Economics, was in the Education Service
of the Government of West Bengal since the beginning of her teaching career.
She had been the Head of the Department of Political Science at Lady Brabourne
College in Kolkata, and was a visiting lecturer in the Political Science and International
Relations Departments of Calcutta and Jadavpur Universities.
Ghosh authored many books too. These include Mother of my Heart: The Story of
Bivabati Bose, Women Movement Politics in Bengal, A Daughter Remembers: Life and
Times of Sarat Chandra Bose, and Opening the Closed Windows, to name a few.
