Subhas Chandra back again to Europe

After finishing Shradh ceremony of his father, Subhas Chandra left India in January and reached Naples on January 20, 1935.
 On his way north Bose stopped in Rome and had another audience with Mussolini. He presented the Duce with a co;py of his recently released book The Indian Struggle, 1920-1934Sir Samuel Hoare announced in the House of Commons that the book had been proscribed by the Govt. of India on the ground that it tended generally to encourage methods of terrorism and of direct action. The book could not be imported in India and was only circulated in West. Most of the reviews were positive and the foreign editor of the Daily Herald of London, Mr.M.N.Ewar wrote, "Bose of course , is  is stamped as an extremist, a wild man, a menace to Society...."
Years later a foundation stone was laid , before the hall, Mahajati Sadan was built.
For Rome he went onto Geneva for memorial service for Vithalbhai Patel, Switzerland on March 22, 1935.Later in 1935, Rolland wrote an appreciation of Bose's Indian Struggle.
Bose had a surgical operation of his GallBlooder , operated by Dr. Demel.
He did take time out from his own recovery to do this small part to help Kamala Nehru, wife of Jawaharlal Nehru. She came to Europe in June to seek the best European medical assistance., but she had advanced pulmonary tuberculosis and hopes were not high.Bose met her in Vienna and later after Jawaharlal had been released from prison to be with his stricken wife. Bose met them them at Badenweiler in the Black forest of Germany.
Nehru who has just finishing his superb autobiography , Toward Freedom. Bose blamed Nehru for not making more of a protest at the curtailing of Civil Disobedience , from the time of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact to the present
Bose was most eager to see President De Valeraand to get asense of the political situation in Ireland. . Perhaps because th the Irish had been struggling for so many decades .President De Valera interrupted his busy schedule to hold not one but three meetings with Bose.
When the Lloyd Triestino docked in Bombayon April 8, 1936, Subhas Bose was immediately arrested.and faced another indefinite term of imprisonment
The whole country became flared up at the arrest of Subhas  and 10th May  was declared as Nikhil Bharat Subhas Dibas.
Subhas Chandra became again seriously ill for long term imprisonment. At last Subhas was released unconditionally by the Govt. on 17th March 1937 and he addressed a public meeting at Shraddhananda Park on 6th April 1937.
After being released Subhas went to Dalhousie of Punjab for recovery of his health. and came back to Calcutta in Oct 1937. He again went to Europe for medical Assistance by plane in Nov 1937 and got his treatment in Badgastein of Austria.
