Having watched the documentary on Resp. Netaji certain startling facts strike my mind. Might be that many of the points have been exposed already yet I am sure they are not very common. Let us see what does the declassification of documents on the yet not understood demise of Netaji presents to us.
It is already known that the world is not yet certain that how Netaji departed from us. The theory which was originally accepted widely was his death in a plane crash in Taiwaan in 1945. Howevor what makes me feel sorry as an Indian is the way this conclusion was drawn. The commiittees which attest this opinion had no interaction with Taiwan government. The journalists who have prodded much into the issue go to the extent of absolutely refuting such arguments. Infact intelligence from various nations suggest spotting him for long after the date of plane crash.
Well, then how did Netaji depart ? As such there hasnt been any cock sure public release on this. The in thing today, the declassification of large chunk of documents has sparked this debate again. And RSTV documentary supports something which is quite mysterious. It suggests that the 'Gumnami Baba' of faizabad who died in 1985 was no one else but Subhash Chandra Bose. Though I fail to find any reason that how come Netaji would go untraced for so long. But the reason that they give somehow trap me believing them. At the same time the self-centred political maxims of Congress and Lt. Nehru somehow give me such intutive yes-feelings.
Overshadowed in the cry of Gandhi the audacious yet humble Subhash Chandra Bose's soul found out a divine way to command the rightly deserved attention its master missed.
