[Below: This is Renko-ji Temple in Tokyo. A very controversial spot. Let's see what Wikipedia has to say about this place...
'is a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, Japan. It is assumed to be the purported location of the ashes of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Indian freedom-fighter, which have been preserved since September 18, 1945. The small, well-preserved temple was established in 1594 inspired by the God of Wealth and Happiness...
According to the findings of the G.D. Khosla Commission, appointed by the Government of India in 1970, Subhash Chandra Bose's ashes were placed in the box at Taipei following the cremation of his remains. Bose had died at Taihoku Army Hospital on August 18, 1945. The ashes of Bose came to the temple for the purpose of a funeral ceremony but Rev. Mochizuki, father of the present Chief Monk, agreed to keep them in safe custody. Bose's funeral was held at 8:00 p.m. on September 18, 1945.
Netaji’s associates observe his death anniversary on August 18 at the temple annually. It is customary for Indian officials arriving in Japan to travel to Renkoji, to offer prayers and pay respect to Bose at the pagoda that protects his remains: Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was the first dignitary to visit the site in October 1957. President Dr. Rajendra Prasad followed him a year later. Indira Gandhi visited in 1969. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India, first visited the temple during his term as Foreign Minister. He later visited it during his official visit to Japan on December 9, 2001. In 2000, the then Indian Minister of External Affairs, Jaswant Singh, visited the temple in November.
The ashes of Bose are placed in a small golden pagoda.
The Justice Mukherjee Commission of Inquiry submitted its report to the Indian Government on November 8, 2005. The report was tabled in Parliament on May 17, 2006. The probe said in its report that as Bose did not die in the plane crash, the ashes at the Renkoji Temple are not his. However, the Indian Government rejected the findings of the Commission. Authors and researchers who have been studying Subhash Chandra Bose's life believe ashes belong to a Japanese soldier as the Government of India denied DNA testing of the Ashes. Requests for anthropology tests have also been denied by the Government. Controversy increased when Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not visit the temple even when he was requested by the Indian High Commission in Japan. Authors believe that the Prime Minister may know something.]

[Below: Here is a grand statue of Bose and his beloved Indian National Army Subhash Netaji Park, Delhi. It was first placed in the park on January 23, 1975 on the anniversary of Bose's birth. The then vice-president, Basappa Danappa Jatti, unveiled the statues created by the famous artiste Sadashiv Sathe.
Initially the government took good care of the revered statue.
'It was washed every Friday. A person would come with a piece of cloth and a ladder to clean them. It is unfortunate that we don’t care about them anymore. All of them are covered in a thick layer of dust and droppings'
Such a pitiful situation this world has entered. The Bhagavad Gita predicted this would happen in the end days. The park itself has been closed for over five years, while a tram tunnel is built beneath the park. But due to typical government stupidity everything has been delayed. Kali Yuga.]
