A RESPONSE, HOPE NOT, ILL-ADVISED, FOR NETAJI BECKONS ME ON

Perhaps, Madhuri Bose is here alluding to Aurobindo Ghosh's escape to Pondicherry to pursue sannyas manifestly but really to avoid arrest by the British police as many of his detractors are inclined to believing. Therefore, the renunciation reference initially as the first stated point of the ethical code is not, it seems, directed at Gumnami Baba, may I interject, dear Azad Hind. Later during the interview, however, she has been explicit in her stand that the Bose family exhorts the protagonists of the Bhagawanji narrative to come forth with adequate rationally acceptable evidence to support their rather facile claim, a narrative which she finds otherwise unacceptable in the light of the type of personality that Netaji possessed, dauntless in life, petrified of nothing. She finds the mendicant monk in hiding story rather incongruous in so far as it related to Netaji by dubious assertion and she will be satisfied not by theoretical plausibility of the narrative being true but by incontrovertible evidence as to its veracity. I am no spokesperson for Madhuri Bose and perhaps am transgressing into forbidden terrain but as an avid witness to the unfolding drama surrounding Gumnami Baba and as a student of the life and works of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, I could not but air my thoughts in response to your comment in the hope that I may thereby clarify the content of the two points of the early ethical code of Netaji which I took the liberty to print from the talk of Madhuri Bose. May the authoress of the talk herself give her clarification to you, Azad Hind, if she so graces us, and that will clear confusion for sure, assuming of course that it in the first place is there. My sincerest thankfulness for your conscientious approach to the study and propagation of what you are more or less convinced of as being the true narrative of the Netaji disappearance mystery. In advance I offer my sincerest apologies to Madhuri Bose if in any way I have miscarried the intent of her words through the posting of this rather belaboured response of mine.
