Anita Bose Pfaff (née Schenkl, born 29 November 1942) is an Austrian economist, who has previously been a professor at the University of Augsburg as well as a politician in the Social Democratic Party of Germany.[1] She is the daughter of Indian nationalist Subhas Chandra Bose (1897–1945) and his wife[2] Emilie Schenkl.[3]
Early life[edit]
Pfaff is the only child of Emilie Schenkl and Subhas Chandra Bose, who—with a view to attempting an armed attack on the British Indian Empire with the help of Imperial Japan—left Schenkl and Pfaff in Europe, and moved to southeast Asia, when Pfaff was four months old.[4][4] Pfaff was raised by her mother, who worked shifts in a telephone trunk office during the postwar years to support the family, which included Pfaff's maternal grandmother.[5] Pfaff was not given her father's last name at birth, and grew up as Anita Schenkl.[5]
Academic career[edit]
As of 2012, Pfaff was a professor of economics at the University of Augsburg.[1]
Marriage and family[edit]
Pfaff is married to Professor Martin Pfaff, who was previously a member of the Bundestag (the German parliament), representing the SPD. They have three children: Peter Arun, Thomas Krishna and Maya Carina.[6]
Media[edit]
Pfaff is mentioned in the Bollywood film Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose: The Forgotten Hero.[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
