About Subhash Chandra Bose Daughter Anita Bose Pfaff

Anita Bose Pfaff (also Anita Bose-Pfaff, Anita B. Pfaff) (born 1942 in Vienna) is the daughter of Indian nationalist leader Subhas Chandra Bose (Netaji) and his Austrian wife, Emilie Schenkl.

Anita Bose Pfaff, Bose's only child, was born in Vienna where her father visited in 1934 for medical treatment. During his stay Bose asked an Indian friend to locate an English-speaking secretary to help him with a book he was planning to author.

The friend, who ran an English conversation course, introduced him to Emilie Schenkl in June 1934. Emilie was the daughter of a prominent veterinary surgeon. They soon fell in love and married in 1942 in Bad Gastein as per Hindu customs to avoid Nazi conjugal law. Anita Bose was only a 4 weeks baby when her father last saw her, and she was only about two and three quarters (years old] when her father most likely died in an air-crash in what is now Taiwan -- in August 1945
