Subhas Chandra in Seoni Jail -6th imprisonment

Subhas Chandra went to Bombay in Dec 1931 for discusssing about few matters. Mahaatma just came back with empty hands from the Round Table Conference. He discussed with Gandhi about the present political situation in Bengal and increasing police repressions.He also jaoind in Congress working Committe during discussions with Gandhi. .While returning from Bombay to Calcutta he was arrested in Kalyan Station ( is a major railway junction station on the central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network, lying at the junction of the north-east and south-east lines of the suburban Mumbai division of the Central Railway, 54  km north-east of Mumbai. ) on 2nd January 1932 under rule II of 1818. As Bengal Govt.was particularly insistent in 192 that Subhas Bose be jailed outside

Bengal the Govt of India arranged for Bose to be incarcerated in the sub-jail at Seoni in the Central Provinces (now Madhyapradesh) .
Seoni is in hilly place to the south of the Narmada river and is situated at an altitude of 2,000 feet, relatively sparsely populated place.. The jail has neither regular doors nor window shutters. Prisoners were exposed to the heat of the summer and the cold winds of the winter. Within a few weks, Subhas was joined in Seoni by his brother Sarat, also imprisoned under regulation III of 1818
Subhas Bose had had serious health problems. during his previous long imrisonment in Mandalay and now, again, unsettling symptoms surfaced. He had digestive problems and recurring pains around the waist. He was put on a liquid diet of Horlick's and chicken Soup but continued to loose weight.the cause of his symptoms was unclear and gallbladder trouble and tuberculosis wetre suggested.
In mid-May, Sarat's wife and several othr relations came to visit the brothers in Seoni and this raised their spirits but did not cure their physical infirmities. At the end of May they were moved to Jubbalpore Central jail for a more thorough medical examination.Even though there was available an X-ray machine but Subhas needed more specialised treatment and in mid-July he was taken to Madras, where both Government doctors and two physicians of his choice Dr. B.C.Roy and Sir Nilratan Sircar examined him. They agreed that there were signs of tuberculosisand also some abdominal prblems.At the suggestions of these physicians , Subhas Bose was next taken to the Bhowali Sanatorium (Bhowali is a town and a municipal board in Nainital District in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It lies close to Ghorakhal, known forGolu Devta temple and Sainik School Ghorakhal.)

  in northern India where it was hoped that his health would improve.
Subhas wrote to Santosh Baasu on Calcutta Corporation matters from time to timeduring b1932, but his writing on political matters were restricted.
Subhas was unhappy with his recurring and persistent physical ailments  His shift to the Bhowali Sanatorium did him little good , he was ready to consider other possibilities. In Dec 1932, he was shifted to Lucknow . In Lucknow , considering his physical problems and the political situation in India which was not propitious for his kind of activism at the present , he seriously considered an offer from the Govt. to go abroad.The Government of India for its part did not want the responsibility for his declining health.
Since they considered him a nationalist revolutionary and a leader of Jugantar Party they saw advantages to having him outside of India.With the restrictions of his entry , in no case, be allowed to back in Bengal.
This is to remember that Bose had declined a similar offer in 1927.
After working out all the details , he was to sail on February 23, 1933 from Bombay by the S.S.gange     . He thanked his friends and relatives for offering him mental and financial support for this trip..
Bose issued a press statement which said that he was not allowed to  say farewell to his parents and placing the blame for his poor health on the Government which had not allowed him to be treated by his own doctor in India and had refused to pay for his treatment.
The release order came as the ship left th harbor with some police spies, some of them Indians posing as his friend.
Subhas issued no statement to press on Religion but his Hinduism was an essential part of his Indianness, part of his mission to Europewas to tell Europeand about India's contributions to  World culture.
