For China-Burma-India Friendship and Peace
_ By Sat Su Lay
My father, Sawbwa Sat Su alias Lan Htong U Sat Su (1901-1966), Burmese citizen but Chinese origin, had written and published three political and biography books with Burmese. Among those three books, in 1963 published “ 75 years Hearings and 49 years Visions of Burma by U Sat Su”. It was included. My father U Sat Su wrote that book for “Peace of the World, Peace of the Asia, and for China-Burma-India Friendship and Peace”. His main aim of writing and publishing that book was “Could be peacefully solved for 1963, China and India Crisis”.
There were 24 articles in that book and 7 articles were directly concerned with one of the Indian National Leaders Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
“SAWBWA SATSU” WILL JOIN
INDIAN MISSION TO JAPAN
—————————
SAYS, “ SUBHAS BOSE WAS MY FRIEND,
I WISH TO PAY MY LAST RESPECTS”
From Our Staff Reporter
U Sat Su Of 746 Dalhousie Street, Friend of Presidents and Prime Ministers, who once donated Rs.100,000 to Bogyoke Aung San’s , Army Amenities Fund, and who recently made the headlines or “Sawbwa Satsu,” has decided he now wishes to be know as “India Satsu.”
This decision coincides with the coming of Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the Indian Prime Minister, to Burma. U Sat Su has only a hearing acquaintance with Mr. Nehru, but he claims to have been a personal friend and conductance of the late Subhas Chandra Boes.
U Sat Su , who sometimes acted as “Mr.Fixer” for Bogyoke Aung San, whenever a ticklish problem had to be settled with the Japanese, says that he once secured the release of several rich Indians who had been arrested by the Japanese on suspicion of being British agents, and that Subhas Chandra Bose was grateful to him for the favor done to the Indian community.
Subhas Chandra Boes was first with U Sat Su on February 14,1945, when they both sped to Dr. Ba Han’s house at the 7th mile , after a bombing raid.
Now that the death of Mr. Bose has been established, “India Sat Su ” wishes to go to New Delhi and join the mission which is to journey to Japan, to receive Mr. Bose remains .In a letter addressed to the Indian Embassy yesterday, U Sat Su wrote.
I hear from the newspapers that Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Prime Minister of India, has promised a special mission to go from India to Japan to receive the remains of your great leader and patriot, the late Subhas Chandra Bose.
During the last war, I had the honour to be associated of the work of the late Bogyoke Aung San and Subhas Chandra Bose. I met several times with the leader when the Indian Independence movement was being discussed with Japan’s General Kawabe. My last meeting with him was in 1945, when we both hurried to Dr.BaHan’s house after it were bombed. At that time, there was an explosion over the house and an unexploded 100-lb bomb outside Dr.Ba Han’s trench.
Mr. Bose showed much concern over the safety of our leaders and I talked with him for a while as he examined the unexploded bomb. After wards, I heard he was killed in an air crash.
It is consequently, as an admirer and a friend of Mr. Bose that I now request your assistance to enable me to join the official mission when it starts out from New Delhi to bring home Subhas Chandra Boes’s ashes. I shall journey to India at my own expense and although a citizen of Burma and proud to be one, I wish to don Indian clothes and in that guise pay my last respects to Subhas Chandra Bose, who to me is the Bogyoke Aung San of Burma.
Since your great leader Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru will be visiting Burma soon, perhaps I may hope for these sentiments of mine to be conveyed to him, with my kindest regards. When he was here for the Water festival in 1955, I had the pleasure of throwing two bowlful of water on him. He was then dressed like a Burman and so he should be sampling to the idea of my dressing like an Indian for a very special occasion.
