MY SIDE OF AN INTERESTING DIALOGUE WITH AN EMINENT PERSONALITY REGARDING GUMNAMI BABA

The multitude seems to believe in the Gumnami Baba version of the entire Netaji disappearance issue and some, that of Mahakaal too. I, for one, am investigating into the matter and am thoroughly nonplussed by the many theories that abound, especially in light of the fact that Justice Manoj Kumar Mukherjee has himself privately confided to Amlan Ghosh before the video camera unwittingly that Bhagawanji was Netaji. I have, however, not come to any settled conclusion and am merely upholding before the public all the theories that do the rounds for them to judge for themselves the validity or invalidity of them. However, the establishment of truth does not require the approval of eminence or the assent of the multitude as such but requires the presentation of concrete evidence that can pass through the scientific scanner and rational rigour.
I know that Justice Mukherjee was not in the possession of any concrete, conclusive, irrefutable evidence whereby he could in legal terms establish that Netaji was Gumnami Baba in hiding, but what about his privately recorded statement I have mentioned above?
But my question remains. What in your opinion --- if I am not transgressing my bounds of civil discourse --- may be the plausible ground on the basis of which Justice Mukherjee made that unwitting personal admission to Amlan Ghosh?
You are right, madam. No one save a select handful seemingly seeing the face of Gumnami Baba makes the whole case very shaky for the argument of hyper-secrecy does not go well with sannyas, Swami Vivekananda had said in relation to Pavhari Baba of Gazipur, and Netaji, being such an ardent devotee of Swamiji and thoroughly imbued with his virile message of spiritual nationalism, would hardly maintain any such for any conceivable reason, so not in consonance with his known character till 18 August, 1945. This extreme lack of concrete irrefutable proof creates difficulty in solving the disappearance case as of now and, I guess, one must wait in patience for further material to emerge before one may come to a definite conclusion about it. Till then conjectures will abound, often fanciful and to some even wild, but, nonetheless, deserving of attention, for that is always the scientific way of enquiry, and the great man will capture the imagination of the public, perhaps, often for the wrong reasons while his life and message go abegging.
