More than five years ago I had paid a visit to Kolkata for professional reasons and had to meet a real-estate firm near Rabindra Sadan metro station in Kolkata.I was given to understand that the house of SUBASH CHANDRA BOSE who is celebrated as a hero is round the corner and I prompltly decided to pay a visit.
It is a tourist destination now maintained by the Govt. They take a small fee from the tourist.It is a fairly large house even by modern standards standing on could be half an acre of land with large rooms and stairs and corridors.The Austin-Martin car used by SUBASHJI which Iam told is still in working condition is parked at the entrance. He used to travel long distances in this car I was told.
In every room some display and murals of various kinds can be seen and this place is worth visiting once for the rare reverence it portrays. Get down at the RABINDRASADAN metro station and this place is walkable.
The Govt. here must be praised for preserving this site because here lived a man who out of Principle and idealism brought vision and leadership and adventure during his times.
