THE DISAPPEARANCE DEBATE ... 1

Why is it that researchers on Netaji cannot speak coherently about his disappearance for any length of time? Why do they needlessly digress and confuse matters? The interviewers also are terribly distracted into unnecessary divergences when being answered by the interviewee pertinently. It is a shame that not many who are the protagonists of this cause, that is, the unravelling of the mystery surrounding Netaji's disappearance, have the calibre to articulate cogently their views about the issue and, hence, despite hordes of videos that one views, one cannot come to any definite conclusion as to what their rational inferences are about Netaji's disappearance. It is more a mud-slinging on Nehru and Gandhi that often is the outcome of their endeavours and not much do they say about what happened to Netaji with substantive evidence to back their claims. Consequently, the public are deluded into believing wild fantasy stories of all denominations coming from every quarter that have no basis in terms of rational validation. That a hype and a frenzy may be quickened by these incompetent and often ill-disposed 'authorities' on Netaji among the millions of people who adore him does a disservice to the cause and dishonour to his memory whether he be living yet or dead long. What is needed is serious research that follows proper methodology and is bound in rational rigour and not mere emotional effusions to substantiate a particular view. I stand neutral to this debate and keep learning from all quarters as to what eventually became the fate of our patriot premier but am horrified each time when I encounter these distracted interviewers and irrational interviewees who mess up the discussion on Netaji's disappearance. I, therefore, request all those who are serious about the subject to first develop a scientific temper and then begin to probe the issue to perchance arrive at the truth one day. And when you do so, fail not to intimate me on your findings please.
