Autorenporträt

Krishna Bose (1930-2020) was a Member of Parliament for three terms, elected to the Lok Sabha from West Bengal. From 1999 to 2004, she chaired the parliamentary standing committee on external affairs. In her professional life, she was a professor of English Literature. In December 1955, Krishna (nee Chaudhuri) married Dr Sisir Kumar Bose (1920-2000), the son of Netaji's older brother and lifelong confidant Sarat Chandra Bose. Aged twenty, Sisir was Netaji's chief aide in his daring escape from India in 1941 and drove the escape-car from the family's mansion on Kolkata's Elgin Road. Krishna helped Sisir build the Netaji Research Bureau at Netaji Bhawan from 1957 onwards. After Sisir's death, she served as NRB chairperson for twenty years, until her death in 2020.
